Belt and suspenders, eh?
Not sure how well-known but many 3D scene formats are text, especially early ones. Similar to svg conceptually, which many are familiar with. At a certain complexity, writing it by hand is no longer practical and software support approaches necessity.
- JohnFen 4y agoThis is very true. I do 3D printing, and am also very familiar with the fact that STL files are text files. I even edit them by hand from time to time -- but I still use software to manipulate them, for obvious reasons. It boils down to "the right tool for the job", of course, and like every developer, I choose my tools with an eye toward the goals I want to accomplish. That my goals and yours aren't 100% aligned is to be expected. We're different people. And that also means that at times, a tool that is appropriate for your use case may not be appropriate for mine. And vice versa.
