Neat utility for modeling boats and ships... looks like it is cross platform one of the screenshots shows KANOTIX.

it will export to :
Wavefront (.obj) file format, DXF 3D polylines, DXF faces, unfolded panels to dxf, linesplan to dxf, Offsets to a textfile and stations to ArchimdesMB


This is an open source project.

above is a link for JlipSync..

for lipSyncing your audio... will export to moho or to Magpie which can be used by several modeling packages like Blender.

this is a Java application, so if you got java, you can probably run this

I played with this software a year ago, and it was neat... looks like a lot more things have been added...

It is no longer a Linux only application, it now has a OSX and Windows 32 bit bianaries.

EDIT:
looks like the next version will include a new shader system.... Hope we can import our normal mapped models into it...
version 3 is due in a month or so....

...the rotation 3D with mouse ?

[Polaris30]

I could not find the controls either.... I tryed Control, and Alt with all mouse buttons

Then I went and looked around the download area, and found a PDF manual...

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/f...F.zip?download

According to the manual the only way to rotate the 3d viewport is with the scroll bars... on the right side of 3d viewport and on the bottom. click and drag...

I was able to click on the scroll bar, and the use the arrow keys on the keyboard. but could find no easyer way to rotate .

It's not so bad

Houdini 8 Beta for free ! A very strong Program!
Have fun animation!

[ZewbiBrusher]

Here you'll find a FREE programe which is said to be a clone of the known Painter. There are also 2 tutorials which one of them shows how to create brushes. It's also tablet (pressure) compatible( as I understand it)

Happy Free painting

That's a great little gem! The brushes really are very good, even if the program is a super-duper clone of Painter.

[Polaris30]

I agree with reactor, this is a nice little paint application

I especialy like the gradient tool, it is exactly like the on in GIMP....

unlike gimp tho, this has an excellent alpha/brush system


I am going to try running it in linux under wine later today... I would much prefer this application for some of my projects


Thanks for the link
