I've been looking for some nice 3D modelling software for Linux for a long time. AC3D looks nice, but it costs and is very limited. Innovation 3D looks great, has a ton of features that are lacking from AC3D and the help section is excellent as well. What bothers me, is that the last stable version of it is from the beginning of 2002. I did see some rather up-to-date files in the CVS though, so all hope is not lost yet. I tried to compile the latest stable, but the configure script was a horrible broken mess. Once I chewed my way through there, it hit some weird errors during the compile. I'm rather fluent in C but I have very little experience with C++ so I gave up with that. Grabbed the CVS version then. Configure script was okay, ran into some errors during the compile, but managed to fix them, (some QString things that are by now deprecated - google helped there) but when it got to the linking part, all hell broke loose. Did not like my version of Mesa, I suppose. Grabbed the rpm then, but that was linked against Qt 2. Don't have it. Didn't bother getting. Does anyone have a binary package of it to give out? Static linking preferred. And is the project active nowadays? Why did it die? It looks like it has a lot of potential and the sources seem rather clean as well. Really looking for a replacement for AC3D here. It's slow as hell when loading 10k+ vertex objects (1.4ghz cpu) and the lack of features is just awful. I have some (about a year as a hobby) experience with 3DSMax and various others, but that was a long time ago (back when 3DSMax was 2.5 still) and now I'm looking for a nice way to spend (or waste) time on Linux here.
