I need to put some 3D images into PDF files, and PDF uses Universal 3D (U3D) formats. I don't like the U3D Sourceforge project (basically what Intel released after the ECMA standardization effort).

Does anybody know of good U3D libraries I could use? I'm using C++ on Microsoft Windows, FWIW.

VCGLib is a mesh processing library that has a U3D exporter and a variety of importers (see http://vcg.sourceforge.net/index.php/Tutorial#File_Formats). MeshLab is a tool built on top of it.

Another answer would be Visual Technology Services with PDF3D (PDF link). I've started evaluating it and I like what I see so far.

I agree with your position of not liking the U3D sourceforge project. People at my company is having problems with it when exporting large models: it runs out of memory.

The project has explicitly stated that it has memory issues on its TODO list and is dead since 2007, so I strongly recommend you to go elsewhere.
