The script was originally conceived by Optic Delusion and Tedius in an IRC conversation relating to the similarity of the obj syntax with that of the drawInfo object.  The code was created by Tedius and improved by suggestions and submissions by Optic Delusion, Anomaly, Tanner, and Teppic.  The machine was the first to give mappers a practical way to incorporate LODs and spinning objects in their maps.  [[Modeltool | ModelTool v1.8.1]] and later [http://my.bzflag.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10820 BZWorkbench] also incorporated this capability as well.
