Open 3D Model Format Specification

Working Draft, 04 July 2003

A format for interchange of model data. The main criteria of decision should be interchangeability, above others such as efficiency.
Must be free and open. Must be independent from platform and SDK.
Must be scalable: new features added to the standard should not break backwards compatibility.
Extensions by third parties will be allowed, though there will not be any official extension. Extensions will be reviewed and incorporated to new versions of the specification when appropiate.
Applications should ignore features they don't understand (either because they belong to new versions of the official format or to third-party extensions).
Should be easy to implement, read and write.
Oriented to rendering engines and model tools. Specifically, it is not intended for complex editors.
