Forum Launched To Discuss Standard 3D File Format

The forum, "CAD-3D for Games Forum" is hosted by Intel Developer Services, and is monitored and moderated by the CAD-3D Working Group (within the auspices of the Web3D Consortium). The working group is in the process of defining the technical requirements for an open standard file format and player for CAD and 3D data, with the hope of making 3D objects reusable across industries. The CAD-3D Working Group points out that there are more 3D objects in the CAD world than anywhere else, and it hopes to set a standard file format will results in a wider selection of objects for both game developers and architects.
