== Description ==

3D scene format for the Lightscape radiosity calculator / renderer. LSB files were eventually supplanted by the .LS file format in newer versions.

Source code for an LSB file reader that was part of SGI's "Performer" 3D viewing software can be found here: http://pastebin.com/AWWujE77
