I'm calling it LionSnake, for reasons too complicated to explain right
now.

Unzip it, run the .EXE to use it, read the .HTM for help.

From the HTM file included with the ZIP:

My To-Do List

As you can doubtless see, this modeler is barely functional.  I already plan to add
the following
functions:

PCM file import and export;
Subdivision surfaces;
Texturing;
Dynamically-posable models (posable by variables in the script that calls the file);
Inverse kinematics;
Keyframing (or some other kind of animaton support);
Physical properties simulation.

I've already added the PCM (type 1) support (I already had the code
for it lying around).

Tried it and it works OK. You definitely need some quick way to switch views
and or select functions. It needs quite a lot of mouse-clicks to choose
another command. And 4-views would be nice too.
But the base of your program is there.

Oh, so you're aiming a bit at animation, huh? :o)

Yes.  Most of the motivation is seeing some of the concept art for
the IMP, and noting that they will definitely need a posing modeler
for that effort.

Right now I'm working on getting the features implemented.  The user
interface--which I admit is very important for this kind of program--
will be massaged when the features are working.

Regards,
John
