I downloaded it on a t1 pretty fast, but as with most modelling programs,
the interface confuses me. It's possible that its quite a worthwile program,
but there's probably more of a learning curve than I would want to go
through.

You should get a smooth download here:

Tried it, but so far don't like it. Everything seems to work a little
different than I expect. When I do something wrong, half of the messages
it throws at me, leave me clueless.
You need the mouse for everything. Can't somebody build a modeler where
you can just type in coordinates, like in a CAD programm?
It's a complete package with everything on it. Way too big for me.
Personally I prefer small dedicated modelers for 'one' task, sPatch,
Spilin Editor, SoftText etc.
Still looking for an old 3d Studio like lofter.

I tried it, but have removed from my system now. Render quality was very
poor I thought. Could be I just didn't try hard enough, but I don't think
that was the problem. Some of the plug-ins were poor: Lens Flare was just
plain ugly. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but as I stated in an earlier mail,
POV is also free, and yet it's output is nothing short of excellent. We are
spoiled by having POV, but for that I am thankful :-)

Anyway; if any good programmer are out there; they can help make openfx
better!

I'm still downloading it but it looks like it could be a good modeller, well
at least easier to learn than modelling in Pov. I see the source code is
available. maybe someone could make it use Pov as a renderer, then you could
have the best of both programs.
I still want to learn C++ but I guess I'll have to learn another language
first, just to get acquainted with programming again. I took one look at a
C++ tutorial and was totally lost.

Yes, but you'll have to be patient. (http://www.pandora-software.com)

Just ran it for a few hours. My first impression is that it's very promising as
a modeller. It certainly reminds me of the beta version of Rhino I used some
years ago. Seems intuitive enough and not cluttered (yet ?) with one zillion
mysterious icons. I could import and modify large meshes (from Poser) and could
complete one of the tutorials without getting lost.
Could be a good free mesh modeller for POV (it exports to 3DS so that its models
are convertible). There are things that doesn't work, others that seels to be
missing and it crashes a little too often to be really usable, but once it has
matured a little bit, who knows ?

Actually I love the interface of Rhino3d... only if it was freeware.
Can pandora-modeller have all the flexibility that Rhino3D offers... then
that'll make it an ideal companion to POV!

Yes, if someone writes the modules ! ;-)
Basically I'm designing Pandora's Box to be extendable and customizable
through the use of plug-in modules - so, quite simply, if there's a feature
that people want and someone's willing to write the module, it'll be able to
do it!
