It had interesting features due to being based on Lisp. Primarily its integration into Genera and its extensibility. But it never caught on in a significant way. I have been sort of following in its footsteps (at least philosophically) with

I had a similar experience, doing my first 3D graphics development on Symbolics Lisp Machines back in the 80's [1], and then spending my career developing 3D CG code in Fortran, C, and C++, missing the Lisp experience the whole time. S

Have developed in Lisp on and off since the early 80's, mostly 3D graphics, and have recently returned to it with a vengeance. Lisp is the only language I have used where I didn't feel as if the language was fighting me. Smooth in

We had a serendipitous confluence of Lisp/Scheme fans at the company. My boss had worked at Symbolics Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DTjrY1LXrk I was a Lisp fan from my days of hacking on Symbolics at the Medi

While leading the software R&D team at Square USA (we made the "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" movie and one of the "Animatrix" shorts) our team got to develop some cool software both for the PS2 and the little k

Thank you. Hope you are able to try out the demos.

Greetings, I previously posted about the kons-9 3D graphics project and making it open source. Since then there has been a wonderful turnout of interest and volunteers and contributors and we are on our way. We have just finished moving the

May be a good example of "worse is better"? The costs of fixing the initial shortcomings are staggering, but it is seen as the price of doing business.

Yup. That's my project. Doing what I can.

10 lessons already! Hope some of you find these interesting.

Interesting. Sounds like a non-trivial undertaking. Both writing an interface or starting a new design. Either way, I would be happy if our system develops along to the point that serious engineering packages would want to use it.

What would a new geometric kernel consist of? I'm not a CAD expert.

I remember trimmed NURBS from back in the 80's, when the holy grail for 3D systems vendors was landing car companies as clients. It was not easy. Later, at Square on the "Final Fantasy" movie, we were having trouble modeling

My feeling is this is a consequence of the "worse is better" approach. Trying to shoehorn features which were not planned for in the initial design.

Cleaning up the code organization and making a release is number one on my list of development tasks. It will also serve as a starting point for design discussions.

I am quite interested in exploring new ways of doing 3D interpolated animation. Especially when it comes to visualizing and controlling the motion by the animator. I have not yet seen a system or UI that I am happy with. Having a flexible e

I'm afraid I don't know the gentleman. Or how an open source project could get funding.
