I've always thought that the VideoScape ASCII file format was a good
place to start for folks who want to write special-purpose programs for
making objects but who don't want to tackle LWOB IFFs. So here goes.
The base colors:
0 0 0 0 black
1 0 80 160 dark blue
2 0 140 0 dark green
3 0 140 140 dark cyan
4 160 0 0 dark red
5 140 0 160 dark purple
6 160 120 0 brown
7 140 140 140 gray
8 0 0 0 black
9 0 120 240 light blue
10 0 240 0 light green
11 0 240 240 light cyan
12 240 0 0 light red
13 200 0 240 light purple
14 240 200 0 yellow
15 240 240 240 white
The surface characteristics for the base colors:
Luminosity 0
Diffuse Level 100
Specular Level 0
Reflectivity 0
Transparency 0
Edge Transparency Normal
Smoothing Off
Values can be added to the base colors to modify
the default surface characteristics:

+ 32 "luminous" Luminosity 100, Diffuse Level 0
+ 48 "outline" Outline Only
+ 64 "transparent" Transparency 50

surface characteristics:
