What is MindsEye all about ?
|
For MS-DOS, MS-Windows, and UNIX-workstations a number of excellent
Modeling and Animation packages exist. To name just a few of the leading packages:
- 3d-studio
- 3ds-Max
- LightWave
- SoftImage
- Alias|Wavefront Poweranimator and Maya
These are all very professional Animation/Modeling packages. The
problem is price. It is about time that a cheap (Free actually under
the GPL terms ) package was developed. This is the MindsEye project. The
aim is a complete modeling/animation package for the GNU/Linux operating
system. Another goal is to combine forces when it comes down to
3d programming. There currently exist a number of specialised packages,
which can do specific 3d-tasks. The idea here is to create a total
package which can be configured to do all the major 3d-tasks you need. It
is supposed to run on any X Window system currently available.
