I believe that both triangleSceneViewer and objviewer.py should use the same .obj loader and rendering algorithms but why is there some "noise"
in the objviewer.py output? Is this related to the T_EPSILON? Please see
the attached screen shot.

objviewer.py was written long before triangleSceneViewer, so I can imagine it doing different things as the code diverges. There should probably be a python scene file that loads in scene libraries like bin/manta does. That way you could use the same scene for both.

There is noise in both if you look closely.  This is the dreaded T_EPSILON 
issue.  I think we might need to move the T_EPSILON back unless we can get 
this resolved.

BTW, there is minor bug in objviewer.py

Thanks, I'll get that in soon.

James
