[Hasan Serdar Adali] Weekly Report 27/10/2009

This week i searched for 3d design tools that we can use in our project.We planned to use pure OpenGl first, but it is really hard to develop complicated model&animations using OpenGl.The best alternative would have been using Autodesk 3ds Max(formerly 3D Studio Max) if we had that much money(its price is between 3k-4k $. But we need a free tool.Here is what i found:

Blender:Free open source 3D content creation tool.In order to use it,pyhton programming language is necessary.

Google SketchUp:Another free software for designing 3D models.It is claimed to be easy to learn.One of its feautures is that this software can also be used in Turkish.There is also a extensible software SketchUp Pro available in English.

3DPlus:Tool for 3D graphics design.

I downloaded all of these softwares.As soon as i get familiar with these products,i will list their pros and cons.
