I'll have to play with it. We are adding some 3D to our curriculum in the next year or so. That means I will definitely be trying this one. Thanks for pointing it out.

As Temmu said, it is frekin' awesome. It is easy to learn/use that even my 8-yr old kid can handle it surprisingly well. I've also tested it on my oldest pc here (a Compaq p2-350 sff, 256mb sdram) and runs okay.

Excellent program! And for free if you don't need the Pro version!I was looking at this little over a week ago. I haven't had a chance to download it and not sure it would work as well on my old PIII 600mhz, 256MB RAM computer running XP Pro. Has anyone tried it on a computer that old yet?

See my previous post. The unit has a slot1 PII-350 processor, 440BX board, a 4mb ATI Rage IIC built-in video, and 256mb SDRAM PC-133.

:) Missed that! :teehee: Mine is also a slot1 Intel Pentium III and slightly faster than that one you tried it on, so it should work! :( Thanks!

I'm having fun playing with it. It has some good basic capabilities. The push pull effect is fun in making something 3D. I would say this is something my students can play with to look at 3D but something that is very basic in capability. It's a nice little program.
