BBCBASIC: Windows: Computer: Graphics: File: Format: B3D: What is the 
B3D file format?

---

B3D = 'B'bcbasic for windows '3D' format

---

Files with the .B3D extension are graphics data files (in BBCBASIC for
Windows proprietary format, created by Richard Russell).

---

This files contain a list of 3D triangle data, in the format

---

1. Total amount of triangles

---

Followed by for each of the involved triangles
(which can be seen as independent of each other):

 1. x coordinate triangle

 2. y coordinate triangle

 3. z coordinate triangle

 4. color of triangle (in RGB format)

===

Note:

The .B3D file extension used in BBCBASIC for Windows is not related to
Blitz3D's file extension .B3D

---

You can thus e.g. not use Blitz3D to read BBCBASIC for Windows .B3D
files.

===

Note:

The .B3D file extension used in BBCBASIC for Windows is not related to

Apple ASCII 3DMF .b3d

(e.g. used in the CrossRoads 3D conversion program)
