A screenshot of trueSpace 4 running, with some rock objects modelled and textured. The interface is extremely simple with a dozen icons; the polar opposite of Blender.

   urgh. after a week of very interesting research and digging, i've located the source code for a very popular 3d rendering/modelling program from the 90s and 2000s: Caligari trueSpace

   does anyone in the digital preservation world know someone at the Microsoft Open Source Programs (OSPO) office?
   i'd love for this to be officially sanctioned as an OSS project.
