I'm working on a modeller to do the things that the SDL isn't very
good at (like organic shapes).  When the project is to the point where
it can be used for real work, I'll be making the source available.

Regards,
John

Right now I can do the following things:

* Add and drag vertices

* Add edges (and drag them by dragging their end vertices)

* Add parts (of the skeleton, that is), and drag them around

* Zoom, pan, and rotate the view

* Crash the program if I zoom too much

It still is not even minimally functional, lacking:

* The ability to add polygons to the mesh

* The ability to attach the mesh to the skeleton

* File operations (such as loading and saving)

* Dialog-box entry of vertex data

* Useful menus and dialog boxes

When these are all in, the project will be suitable for public release.

Then I'll need to add the support for texturing, UV-mapping, surface
subdivision, inverse kinematics, keyframing, physics simulation, etc.

Regards,
John

  I hope it's a generic unix program, compilable and runnable in virtually
any unix with a decent X windowing system, and not a linux-only program.

This shouldn't be impossible for a mingw or cygwin compile and a Win32
X server (like OmniX, for example).

It's actually going to be a Win32 program (my first Win32 programming
project).  I'll be releasing the source in case anyone wants to do a
port.

  As the original poster asked for a modeller for linux, I thought that
you were talking about making one.

Oh, sorry.

Although if it's liked enough, someone will want to do a Linux port.

I read on the Anim8or site that it is reported to run acceptably well under
WINE. Haven't tried it personally, but it might be worth a shot.
