Mesh Information

The input format for a mesh is a RAW file exported from a 3D modeling program like Milk Shape. RAW files contain plain text that starts with an object name declaration on the first line then contains triangle data on each following line, listed as space- and tab-delimited floating point values. Unfortunately RAW files contain no color data, so default values must be specified for the exported mesh. Although RAW files can potentially contain unlimited triangles, one has to remember that the Wii Opera SDK is meant to run on the Internet Channel, and having more than about 200 triangles in a scene (not counting hidden ones) can drop the framerate below the Web standard of 15fps. Also, for simplicity, each mesh must contain just one object group.

Below is an example of a RAW mesh as exported from Milk Shape:
