I've released a preview version of JPatch 0.4. You can download it from:

http://www.jpatch.com

It is a free modeling/animation tool written in Java (tested to run on 
Windows and Linux) and supports POV-Ray or RenderMan renderers.

New features (since version 0.3) include:

* A builtin renderer (Inyo) written by David Cuny.
* Modeller support for morphs.
* The JPatch animator (in a very early state of development).
* Output as triangle-, quadrilateral- or SDS-mesh.
* Some bugfixes and enhancements.

It's just a preview, so there may be a lot of bugs. The modeler should 
be reasonably stable and useful. The new animator is in a very early 
state of development, but I've used it to create my April 2005 IRTC 
animation entry, "The Impostor", see http://www.irtc.org/anims/2005-04-15/

(Note that some shots use u/v mapping which was hard-coded into JPatch 
and has been removed in this preview version. True u/v-mapping support 
will be available in the next version.)

wonderful animation :)
Sometimes I wish I had artistic abilities like that, but I lack inspiration
and patience.
