Quesa 2.1

Quesa is a cross-platform, open-source project to re-implement QD3Dunder the LGPL license. The primary goal is to provide API and binary compatibility with Apple's QD3D 1.6, but at the same time,Quesa has surpassed its predecessor in several ways.

Its clean,portable code currently runs on Mac OS 8-9, Mac OS X, Windows, BeOS and Linux. Quesa features an extensible file I/O architecture which enables it to read 3DS and 3DMF files, with other formats easily added.

NOTE: Quesa is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License.
