The source code for View3D has now been fixed so that it can be built on Windows using MSYS/MinGW and scons. This was tested with the gtk.org packages for GTK+ 2.14.7 ('bundle'). If you need any help with building View3D on Windows, please contact John Pye. We haven't yet made a file release but hope to do so in the near future.
Version 3.5 ----------- 23 Oct 2008 - Received code for the simple radiant heat transfer calculator, 'ViewHT' from George Walton, and incorporated it into the code distribution. - Updated build scripts according. - Added test files for ViewHT along with expected output. - Cleanup of user's manual, added notes about new 3D viewer programs, etc. Version 3.4 ----------- 8 Mar 2008 - This is the first release via SF.net, by John Pye. (JP) - Build scripts for SCons added. - The View2D code has been merged with the View3D code, although you must run different command-line programs - Ported to Linux - New OpenGL and Cairo based viewers added for basic checking of model geometry. - Added simple little program to convert view factors to the form of an ASCEND (http://ascend.cheme.cmu.edu) model, permitting solution of the radiation thermal equilibrium problem for small (~100 surface) problems based on view factors calculated with View3D or View2D. Pre SF.net ========== Version 3.3 ----------- 2006? - This was the current version number in the code when first recieved from George Walton. (GW) Version 3.2 ----------- 2002 - New controls input for compatibility with anticipated version 4.0 (GW) Version 3.1 ----------- 1999 - Adaptive integration, see NISTIR 6925 (GW) Version 3 --------- 1996 - Search for accurate view factors; split into multiple programs (GW) Version 2 --------- 1991 - Called VLITE for use with HLITE; conversion from Fortran to C (GW) Version 1 --------- 1986 - First version of the program, by George Walton. (GW)

This first release of View3D via SF.net is intended to show what the code contains and allow members of the FOSS community to try it out and give feedback. For full details see the View3D Downloads page. Changelog: http://view3d.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/view3d/trunk/CHANGELOG.txt?revision=64&view=markup
The View3D sources have been imported in to the SF.net subversion repository and are now available via the 'Code' link on our Project page.
The View3D project has been registered on SF.net and we will shortly upload the existing code to a SF.net-hosted subversion repository. Stay tuned for an initial release in the next few days!
