k3d – 3D modeling and animation system
Synopsis
k3d [options]Description
K-3D is a free (as in freedom) 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system for GNU/Linux and Win32. K-3D features a robust, object-oriented plugin architecture and is capable of producing motion-picture-quality output when paired with a RenderMan Interface compliant render engine such as Aqsis.Please visit http://www.k-3d.org for more information.
