An RSD 'file' is actually a group of 4 files - the RSD file, the PLY file (containing the normals
and vertices), the GRP file and the MAT file (which contains the UV coordinates). The RSD file
contains the references to the TIM filenames.

Here's an example RSD file:

# cube0.rsd
# ID
@RSD950401
# include files
PLY=cube0.ply
MAT=cube0.mat
GRP=cube0.grp
NTEX=3
TEX[0]=pat4.tim
TEX[1]=pat8.tim
TEX[2]=pat16.tim


Use RSDTool, then you won't have to worry about any of this.

Cheers,

James
