Currently meteor knows about these formats:
$ meteor --input-format help Supported formats: text binary videoscape (default: auto-detect) $ meteor --output-format help Supported formats: text binary wavefront videoscape (default: text)
Text and binary specific to meteor, but can store all formats and even animations. Videoscape is supported by blender, it only stores position and color.
To output data to a file, --create or -c specifies the filename to use. To read input from a file the --file or -f option is specified. If - is specified, output is read from stdin or written to to stdout. It is possible to perform two operations on a mesh by piping the data (--no-display or -n suppresses the viewer) Both commands have the same output:
$ meteor -c sphere -e "x*x + y*y + z*z = .8" -n && meteor --clip y -f sphere $ meteor -c- -e "x*x + y*y + z*z = .8" -n | meteor --clip y -f-
To save in blender:
$ meteor -c sphere -e "x*x + y*y + z*z = .8" -n --output-format videoscape
Similarly data can be exported in videoscape from blender and loaded into meteor.
