Can somebody recommend a good U3D library?

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.

I prefer PDFTron

PDFTron's PDFNet looks like a good PDF library. However, I don't see anything like a U3D library there.

+1 A:

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.

Thanks - I'd run into MeshLab, but hadn't found VCGLib.

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