How can I....

[Daniel Scott Matthews]

How can I do the following in an automated way?

Open a 3DS or OBJ file and write a K-3D mesh to a file for each object
in the 3DS or OBJ file, then read each new K-3D mesh into a new K-3D
scene so that their scales and positions etc. where the same relative
to each other as they were in the original file?

I want to be able to edit each of the saves K-3D meshes and add/edit
materials etc. and see the final scene update with my changes.

If I can do this I can share my files on a network and have a team of
people doing edits and updates to the geometry and material details
while somebody else is working with lighting, animation, composition
etc.

I don't have an answer on this; it seems like something that's going to
vary a lot from organization to organization.  You might try prototyping
something in Python.
