3D modeling affordable? Message #59609

From: Francisco Oyarzun Computer Art Forum · General Discussion September 28, 1993 10:54 PM

Sorry: I meant, what is the least TOTAL cost (hardware+software) for a system that will allow me to deform wire meshes interactively and animate them in real time, collision detection included? Thanks! Francisco. Read action !

3D modeling affordable? Message #59608
