Too bad we have to wait until the 15th of April. :) ------- Forwarded Message Date: Tue, 31 Mar 1998 16:40:32 +0200 From: quad.neogeo.nl!ton@neogeo.nl (Ton Roosendaal) Message-Id: <199803311440.QAA28108@quad.neogeo.nl> To: jkh@FreeBSD.org Subject: Blender News Mar 31, 1998 - ---------------------Announcement------------------------ NeoGeo is happy to announce the Beta release of a Linux and FreeBSD version of Blender at April 15 1998 We expect the first Beta users to help us complete testing and evaluating, especially for the various PC configurations. An official version will be released 4 to 6 weeks later. Time schedule: - April 15: Beta versions V1.3x - May-June: Official versions V1.4x - June-July: Manual version V1.5x - Sept: Complete version V1.8x - ???: Pro version V2.0x Other platfoms - Amiga/Mac/Alpha - and Windows95/NT are not scheduled yet. Currently only a very sparse manual is available. This is work under construction. Publishing the manual will be NeoGeo's first commercial activity with Blender. NeoGeo's strategy is to keep the program core freeware, while generating revenues with add-ons like plug-ins, extra tools and tutorials. - ------------------------Blender------------------------------- Blender is the freeware 3D package - currently only available for SGI - that has become very popular with students, artists and at universities. Being the in-house software of a high quality animation studio, it has proven to be an extremely fast and versatile design instrument. Use Blender to create TV commercials, to make technical visualizations, business graphics, to do some morphing, or design user interfaces. You can easily build and manage complex environments. The renderer is reliable and extremely fast. All basic animation principles are well implemented.
