Anim8or is an OpenGL based 3D modeling and character animation program made by R. Steven Glanville. Available at http://www.anim8or.com

This program is designed with animators in mind and does not currently excell as a 3D modeler for use by MTM editors. It still has some special capabilities of interest to MTM model makers, it offers plenty of possibilities with primitive geometric shapes and the ability to create spines to "extrude" or "lathe" (much like trueSpace). Imports/exports several common 3D formats. Anim8or's freeware status, continuing development and the fact that it's one man's project makes it worthy of mention. Visit the homepage to read about and download the latest version.

You will not need as powerful a computer as the official system requirements state but you will need an OpenGL accelerated graphics card and a Windows 9X or NT4 operating system.
