      3D model importing guide: Faster, Better, (Stronger?)

      3D model importing has been a known and used feature of SMedit for quite a while now. In the past there were two ways of going about this: directly put an .obj file into SMedit or convert the .obj to .binvox first. This guide describes a third alternative, which is far more accurate than...
