Hi :)
I'm happy to announce that Pixcon/Anitroll/Gamegine release 1.08 is available
to the public.
What is Pixcon you may ask? Pixcon is a set rendering and animation tools
that include:
- a render that creates high quality images by using a combination
of 11 rendering primitives.
- a dynamic/kinematic hiearchical based animation system w/ support
for "flock of birds", autonomous cameras, and flight models.
- a real time system designed for game development.
- libraries and source code for customizing and developing 2D/3D tools.
If you aren't convinced yet, I invite you to look at the Pixcon Home page at:
http://www.radix.net/~dunbar/index.html
* Available for Pentium-Linux, DOS/Win95, and SGI-IRIX 6.5
BTW, If you have any comments email me at dunbar@saltmine.radix.net
Have fun :)
