I want to parse Blender-Made Files directly into my homemade Lisp program. I've been pulling data out of .X3D files manually. Is this the best format to focus on writing a parser for?
Thanks!

Milkshape (MS3D) format was quite easy to implement a reader for, in C++ and C#. Here's the spec I used: |

The .obj is of course the easiest to to parse, but if you need something a little more powerful (with animations) then get the .md2 file format. If I can dig up some of my code from high school I might be able to find a md2 loader I wrote. |

The easiest to load is OBJ (which is human readable), others are horribly complex. |
