If you are interested in this kind of tool, you should also conside Tao Presentations. See http://www.taodyne.com/shop/dev/blog/288-building-a-dali-style-clock http://www.taodyne.com/shop/dev/blog/288-building-a-dali-sty... for an example of what you can do with it (in that case, a real-shader-based real-time ray traced clock). Real-time shader editing, complex scenes built using a real-time 3D document description language, animations, multiscopic 3D movies playback, 2D and 3D text layout, dynamic textures, etc. In short, Tao is a rather complete toolbox for real-time 3D.
