I fear that these technologies will suffer the same fate as Caligari TrueSpace: the IP is purchased, thrown into a bin somewhere on campus, and abandoned.

- GFischer 13y agoHadn't heard of Caligari TrueSpace before now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueSpace http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueSpace Winamp probably has a huge userbase compared to Caligari though.
- MrZongle2 13y agoYes, I'm sure it did (does). TrueSpace was priced around $300, which tended to put a damper on adoption. As a 3d modeling and animation package, it served as a poor man's Lightwave 3D or Maya. The interface would probably give some designers fits. Still, it was a useful and nimble application and one of my first experiences with CGI. If I could get it to reliably run on an XP SP3 box or in a VM, I'd probably still be playing with it.
