Format for Sharing 3D Designs?

[sam reichart]

Late to this party as I just perused this thread, but I might have a little to add.

First, I'm a professional 3D artist, specializing in technical animation and being an X Bubblehead, can create just about any submarine if I have decent reference material. For work, I'll take CAD models, (SolidWorks / ProE) and convert the design engineer's work into photo-realistic renders, which play a lot better with clients than the usual green, purple, and red output they render.

My main 3D app is Lightwave3D, but I have software to convert many popular 3D formats for import/export. Obj files work well, and are pretty standard for most apps to export. Using STL files, models can be converted for 3D printing, one hull section at a time, which opens up a lot of possibilities.

If you want to get something going in regards to 3D formats, let me know.
