I've just uploaded a demo of the new version 1.88, of  FreeForm3D
Bspline Modeler, to Aminet. ftp 128.252.135.4 in pub/aminet/gfx/3d
and
tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu in pub/LW/utils

For explanation of what FreeForm3D is all about, for anyone new, read the
paragraph below the list of additions here:

The new version has some nice additions, of which some of them are:

1. Output of FreeForm spline objects to RenderMan.

2. Skipping through objects, with the left and right cursor keys.

3. A simple and easy keyframe animator, with multiple targets(limited
   only by ram) - which will allow you to animate movement, position,
   bending and morphing, just by changing the keys objects, all in one method.
   You can set the number of tweens between key objects, and the file
   format for saving them. You can save the tween objects by either stepping
   through the animation, tween by tween, or by telling FreeForm to save all
   the tween objects, as the animation is being played.

4. Conform points to a sphere shape; either ones you pick, or let
   FreeForm pick them by seeing if they fall inside of the sphere radius.

5. Improvements in instant Bones draging.

6. Loading in a background IFF to make splines over.

And more...

If you decide to purchase a copy. Its only $70 (Includes shipping and
handling)

$5 for current customers who wish to upgrade from v1.7 or higher.
$10 for the upgrade from versions lower than v1.7.

Brief summary of some of FreeForms' capabilities, listed below for those
who have not heard of it yet.

        FreeForm 3D Bspline modeler brings truly affordable, super-
fast Bspline modeling to your current 3D program rivaling
that of high end workstations. FreeForm can output to
Lightwave, Aladdin4D, Real3D2, Imagine, Caligari and RenderMan.
FreeForm has real-time object and point editing in all
views; and a real-time, 3D space, through the camera
perspective view. In addition to the standard 3D tools, FreeForm
has tension adjustment to Bsplines(giving NURB like control),
deformations, rail extrusion, morph extrusion, cross sectional
skinning, automatic Bones creation, real-time Bones manipulation,
an easy keyframe animator and on-line help. FreeForm even gives
Real3D2 users a faster, easier to use Bspline environment, and
a many times faster grayscale preview curve rendering;
FreeForm 1.88 is $70, requires at least a 68020 with a
FPU, and 1.2 megs of Ram.
Usable demo of V1.88 on Aminet ftp 128.252.135.4 in gfx/3D
, on the Lightwave ftp tomahawk.welch.jhu.edu pub/LW/utils
and on Compuserve. Cash, check or money order to:
