Subject: [gislist] newbie needs GIS data guidance
Date:  11/22/2005 04:20:01 AM
From:  Paul M. Hudy



Hi,

brand new to GIS and may never get too deep into this, but was wondering if
I could get some guidance from the group. here is what I am trying to do:

I am trying to build some 3-d landscapes/maps in Cinema 4d, a 3d
modeling/animation package by Maxon.

I have found the USGS SDTS DEM data for my subject area, but Cinema 4d only
reads DEM data in Vista Pro binary format.

Does anyone know of a translation utility that imports SDTS and exports
Vista Pro? I am on an OS X box, so Mac software would be preferable.

I have spent some time googling and have gotten a bit overwhelmed, so if
anyone can point to a beginners guide to data types and what they are that
would be great help as well.

thanks in advance

Paul
