mesh2rdm can preview and convert a variety of model and image
formats to the RDM/RDA (or PNG for images) formats, including but
not limited to:

.3ds
.ase
.obj
.proc (Doom 3)
.md5mesh (Doom 3)
.md5anim (Doom 3)
.lzs
.raw (various)
.gmo
.bsp (Quake 3, Jedi Academy, Quake, and Half-Life)
.glm (GHOUL2)
.gla (GHOUL2)
.smd (Valve's pre-processed model format)
.dae (COLLADA)
.rim

Run the program with no command line for instructions.

To preview supported models, just drag and drop the given file over
the mesh2rdm.exe file, or double-click the model file once mesh2rdm
has associated itself with supported model files (see the above
paragraph).

In preview mode, the following controls are available:

1) Left Mouse: While held, moving the mouse will rotate your view
around the focal point.

2) Left Mouse + CTRL: While held, moving the mouse up and down zooms
your view in and out.

3) Right Mouse: While held, moving the mouse will move your focal
point in the scene, relative to the direction you're looking. Your
focal point is represented by a green/red box at the center of the
screen.

4) Right Mouse + CTRL: While held, moving the mouse up and down
moves your focal point "in" and "out" of the screen.

4) Middle Mouse: Clicking the middle mouse button re-centers your
view on the model. Scrolling the mousewheel does what Left Mouse +
CTRL does, with a larger step length.

5) F# Keys: F2, F3, and so on all have various functions which will
differ according to the type(s) of data being previewed. After
loading up preview mode, take a look at the console text output for
a list of the available F# keys.

The red/green focal point in the center of the screen will only
appear while you are holding down the right mouse button. If the box
is green, it is not obstructed, but if it's red, that means it's
"behind" the geometry you're looking at. This is helpful for
determining the distance of your vocal point when trying to center
in on some geometry.

mesh2rdm can also output any supported file format to a variety of
non-rdm formats. For a list of supported output formats, see the
"mesh2rdm ?" output.

Command Line
====================================================================
If you are not familiar with DOS-style command lines, or do not know
how to use or reach the command line in your version of Windows,
please consult Google and/or a user support group. I will not help
you to understand these things, nor will I walk you through using
mesh2rdm. mesh2rdm is written to be a very powerful command line
application for converting/processing models, but it is not written
to be in any way friendly. If you wish to use it, you will have to
be prepared with the appropriate knowledge.
