OFF (Object File Format) Ruby?

[tomot]

The valiant efforts to produce a predictable OBJ importer have been very difficult to achieve. With thanks to TIG, Jim and others.

I'm wondering if some of the more talented members of the Ruby Clan, would be interested to tackle a Ruby Script capable of the file formatOFF for import and export. Much like the STL Ruby which Didier made way back when. Unfortunately STL has limits on size, like 3ds.

OFF is well documented, for example:
http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/dataformats/off/
more and more 3d app's are including it for object interchangeability.

I am not aware of a size limit for .stl files. SketchUp may have trouble importing high-poly files, but that is not a limitation in the .stl format.

I made an .stl importer that uses a different method than Didier's and can import larger files faster.

STL is also limited to objects of max 32K?
