1. Changes from 1.x

---

• New Internal file format
• New BSP Compiler
• New Render Window design + capabilities
• Moment of Interia (MOI)
• Support for multiple-polygon leaf nodes in the BSP
• Support for diffuse, glow and shine in render window
• Renderer Support for Vertex Buffer Objects

---

2. What is PMF?

---

PMF is PCS Model File, it's POF Constructor Suite 2's internal model format.

It is a flexible model format that is easy to convert others into, and stores all the data needed for a .pof.

This makes it so that PCS2 only has to have one place in the entire code where any model format is converted to .pof. All supported formats go through PMF as an intermediary and as the active model editor.
