G3D


a Gtk+ based 3d modeller

Blake E Hegerle (laertes @ stab.gemma.com) gave the world g3d, and then seemed to drop off it. Last time I checked that email address bounces.

The original website is here http://www.stcloudstate.edu/~hebl9901/g3d/.

So, needing a simple 3d editor to bend to my whim, I adopted it have used it to great effect building models for a numerical program I work on.

The upshot of all that is my changes and bug fixes need to get out there. And so here they are. Note: I have bumped the version number to 0.1.0, the original is 0.0.2.
