A cursory glance at other free 3D Modellers
While looking for an alternative to Blender I checked out these alternatives...
Name | Comment | Verdict |
---|---|---|
Art Of Illusion 3D | Neither the 2.5.1 nor the the 2.6.1 installer .exe worked on Windows. | FAIL |
GroIMP-0.9.7 | Java jar without accompanying .BAT, didn't look so promising/fitting in the first place. | FAIL |
OpenFX 2.0 | A nice looking editor, but I couldn't find a useful object list view. | FAIL |
Moonlight-0.2.0 | Java yet again. No .BAT file to start it. Screenshots didn't look too bad though. | FAIL |
Ayam 1.13 | Needs an obsolete render engine. Looked extremely poor. | FAIL |
AvoCADo-08.03 | Java :( but comes with a .BAT file! Which doesn't work :( | FAIL |
K-3D 0.7.9 | It looked very promising for exactly 45seconds and then crashed when I tried to move a sphere. | FAIL |
The last try will be trueSpace from Caligari a hefty
-used to be commercial- package and then it's back to Blender
(yuck).
