Sphere graphics software ??

Mooching around the web, mainly on far east websites, I keep running into .pdo and .sph file downloads.

I've ascertained that I need "Pepakura reader" for .pdo files, and have now installed this, but I've drawn a bit of a blank for .sph files.

I'm getting some Google hints that they were used by a "Sphere" graphic program that was developed for use with Windows 3.1, but I can't seem to latch on to any further info.

Are any of you guys familiar with these files, or can point me towards converting them to PDF, gif, or jpg files?

Johnny.

Try changing the extension to .bmp see what you get.

The Miku Miku Dance connection is most likely, but now I know what that is, I doubt I'll be following the links further.

Changing the extention to .bmp didn't achieve anything though.

Thanks for the info though chaps.

Johnny.
