Dice3DS is a package to read, write, and manipulate 3D Studio files in
Python.  Once upon a time, there was not a good Python library for 3DS
files, but since the 3DS format was rather simple, I wrote this
package.  Two utilities are included: dump3ds, which dumps the
contents of a 3DS file; and view3ds, a simple 3DS model viewer.

Requires Python 2.6 and Numpy 1.1.0.  (Earlier Python versions may
work but are not supported.)  The view3ds script additionally requires
any or all of PIL, PyOpenGL 3, PyGame, and Pyglet. PIL and PyOpenGL is
enough for most cases.


To install, type "python setup.py install".  See Python Distutils
documentation for more details.

Documentation is in the doc subdirectory.

license; see the file COPYING for details.
