  If you look in the 'clone' demo there is a file called tmd.h this
  contains the TMD format. As yet the format is not on the web page.

  As for getting access to the vertex and face information, if you
  mean
  after a model has been loaded, then yes, you need to use the TMD
  format,
  but altering the TMD while it is being drawn will crash the system.

 Tmd.h gives some information about the tmd file format, but not all. I
have some 3d-models that
use transparent textured polygons. These are not included in tmd.h .
What we need is a complete
list of possible polygon-types. Does such a list exist anywhere? Does
Sony Europe have one?
