I stopped procrastinating and finally got a usable OBJ to 3DMF conversion tool: <http://developer.chaoticbox.com/files/realbasic/OBJto3DMF.zip>

Frank, this looks really great.  A couple of quick suggestions:

1. Don't make the Options window a global floating window. I don't need it in my way when trying to type this email. :)

2. Include some sample OBJ files. It turns out that I don't have any of these on my hard drive, despite models in a zillion other formats (mostly 3DS, apart from 3DMF of course). Actually, I did have one, but when I tried to open it, I got "Invalid OBJ file".

A quick web search didn't turn up any free models in OBJ format, either... (TurboSquid has some, but I've long since forgotten my account info there!).

So, I wasn't able to actually test it this evening... but I look forward to doing so once I can find some files!

Any thoughts about 3DS/MAX support? This appears to be a very popular format...

Best,
- Joe
