Very impressed

Yes, many thanks, Patrice.

Your source code would be very helpful. I see that obj files are substantially more complex than STL files. An STL text file of your model above would be about 150 meg, since the vertices of each triangle have to be listed, regardless of common points.

I also heard about the 3d house printing:

Yes, have a look at the mobj_dll.bas source code, that was a huge piece of work that kept me busy for while. And i had a hard time to figure how to write the cache iterator in PB (there is still room there to speed up the code).

Hi Patrice and John,

My purpose was not to offend you or anybody else.

Why don't you ... leave your egos at the door

I wasn't feeling offended in the least. In fact, I realized that Patrice was new here and my post was just an attempt at self-presentation, nothing more, nothing less. I can only regret if my wording didn't really produce the intended impression, and especially on you, John.

... thus i don't know if it would work on I5 and Intel graphic's.

While my motherboard does have an on-board integrated Intel graphics chip that drives my left-side monitor that I'm usually using to host my text-mostly windows with reference data, tables, manuals and GDI(+) graphics, the MB is a special make that is compatible with, and certified for, nVidia's SLI Technology. The two GeForces that are mentioned in my forum signature are identical premium makes of nVidia 8600 graphics cards with 1GB on-board video memory each, bridged on this MB in the aforesaid SLI configuration. While the cards aren't top-notch by modern standards any more (it's been 5 years since I had them installed first on my previous, older Core2 Duo MB), they are compatible up to DX10 and they still outperform in this configuration many of nVidia's more modern video cards hosted apiece in the motherboards that don't support SLI.

What concerns i7 vs. i5, I don't think the difference will be so very noticeable, especially if i5's clock frequency happens to be higher than that of i7.

I shall post a link to ... the wavefront object source code ...

Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to that chance to get acquainted with yet more of your superior talents.
