TrueSpace

trueSpace is a 3D computer graphics and animation software developed by Caligari Corporation, originally created for the Amiga Computer, and later for the Windows platform.
One of the most distinctive features of TrueSpace is its interface, using mainly 3D widgets for most common editing operations.
The software can be used for modelling , animating and rendering (using the Lightworks rendering engine (http://www.lightwork.com/)), and basic post-processing.
It can also be scripted, using Python for creating custom scripts, tools and plugins.
Its interface aims to make it easy for anyone to create 3D objects and scenes. Capabilities of the software include creating visualizations and animations with realistic lighting (through the use of radiosity) and organic modelling using NURBS, subdivision surfaces and metaballs.
The software's native formats are basically two: one for standalone objects (with the file extension .cob), and another for the scenes (with the file extension .scn). Truespace's objects can be embedded in Active Worlds
There is a free version of trueSpace 3.2 (http://forms.caligari.com/forms/ts3all_free.html) available for download at Caligari's website. Template:Compu-soft-stub
