May 2004 Truly Magical! trueSpace has opened up a whole new galaxy of features with this update, especially in the key areas of Animation and Modeling. Easy installation and lucid Help files set the mood, right from the word 'go.' ...you are in for a joyride, since even the most complicated tasks like Geometric Painting and Particle Simulation are made hassle free with trueSpace. March 2004 One of the most visually driven applications in history Abandoning the idea that an interface must be dull or just boring, Caligari Corporation has created one of the most visually driven applications in history. Plus, it is extremely fast when compared to so many others on the market. trueSpace is surprisingly potent, the feature set and power are anything but low end. Affordable, powerfull way to enter 3D. Caligari looks ready to take on any comers. February 2004 Well-Rounded Caligari's trueSpace, a well-rounded, icon-driven 3D animation tool used by Rolls-Royce, NASA, and others, provides a useful prism for exploring the spectral range of 3D capabilities. February 2004 Truly a great space to work A rich environment not only for tuning 3D geometry, but for setting it in motion. trueSpace, always a well-respected object and character rendering program, is growing into a robust animation studio. Using clips of motion sequences in the clip view editor, animators can edit, blend and play like never before. January 2004 Caligari Marches On When it comes to inspired innovation and dogged perseverance, it's difficult to find too many companies like Caligari. trueParticles is a great new feature in trueSpace 6.6. November 2003 You will be amazed at how quickly you can develop a finished product Version 6.6 gives you tremendous flexibility in developing both static and motion-based 3-D objects. [UI] is like nothing else you have encountered in the Windows environment. But once you get use to it, designing becomes an intuitive process. The product is finding its way into corporate demo production as well as into the gaming arena because of its strengths and flexibility. At $595, trueSpace isn't cheap at least until you price some other high-end packages that make you realize Caligari's price is impressive. September 2003 Wicked Cool! Is the combination of trueSpace and Viewpoint the Holy Grail of Internet based communications technology? All I can say is that it is the closest thing I have seen so far. August 2003 More features than may be expected The NLA (non-linear) editor with it's clips is a huge step forward in trueSpaces animation abilities. The particle system is fantastic, and with a little time and effort, some awesome effects will be achievable. All in all, there's alot here that justifies the upgrade. May 2003 Great improvements to the modeling and animation tools [TS6.5] animation tools have been completely overhauled, the inverse kinematics are improved, and the new non-linear animations using a series of clips...can now be created quickly. [Physics] goes much further with local physical environments, more accurate colision detection and, for the first time 'breakable" objects. May 2003 More than a midrange product For many users new to 3D, this is the right application. While it may be a little more expensive than Carrara, there is much to recommend the program..... The program is stable, works very well with Windows XP and is actually enjoyable to use once you become comfortable with it's unique interface... For visually oriented persons, the advantages [of direct manipulation] are obvious. February 2003 Latest innovations ...The sixth generation of Caligari's trueSpace software offers some of the latest innovations a 3D package can offer, although it still has the same look of the product's earlier versions. TS6 offers a lot for its price tag.... If you want to choose an affordable 3D modeling and animation tools, TS6 could be the right choice since it has proved to be a real survivor. January 2003 A Winning Combination .. very capable rendering and visualization tools, animation capabilities, and a product that is highly extensible-making it possible to adapt it easily to your design needs. This extensibility has produced a wealth of add-on products...as well as a vocal, supportive, and established user community. This makes for a winning combination and trueSpace is finding its way into some surprising and elaborate design projects. January 2003 More Bang For Your Buck By far the most intuitive interface I've seen. ...after a short time I became very comfortable with the icons and rather enjoyed the fact that every tool I needed was right there at my disposal, and didn't have to weed through endless menus or roll out dialogs. ....Radiosity is something you might only expect to find in very expensive applications costing thousands of dollars. trueSpace uses radiosity and IBL (image based lighting) lights. Desktop Engineering Magazine's Online Resource November 2002 Fine MCAD companion program (Comparative review of trueSpace6, Rhino, FormZ, Argon, VectorWorks) Of this quintet of applications, trueSpace presents the user interface that may well have the most appeal to the designer. This type [Magic Ring] of intuitive manipulation is not found in any of the other products reviewed here. trueSpace's visualization tools are excellent. As far as pure shape modeling, trueSpace may very well be the best in this group.   November 2002 Mighty, friendly trueSpace6 Plenty of new features and functions make this version a worthwhile upgrade.Shelling and Mirrored Modeling functions are exciting new additions. Working with complex models is easier, rendering engine works like magic. Best of all is the animation of heads. The program is not only powerful enough for game design, but also affordable. October 2002 Not just a cosmetic improvement trueSpace6 proves again that Caligari's performance is getting closer to professional 3D tools while maintain very affordable price. Moreover user interface is very easy and does not require many hours of manual reading so it is accessible not only to professionals but also to beginning illustrators, architects etc. October 2002 Caligari ups the ante once again Some of the most exciting new features in version 6 have to do with animation. The new Scene Editor with audio tracks and layer paint functionality makes dealing with animation much more enjoyable and efficient... trueSpace’s modeling aspects have gained some significant improvements...Of course, as per the usual, trueSpace produces wonderfully rendered scenes...all of the other new additions to the program are quite wonderful and bring the level of trueSpace’s functionality that much closer to high-end. With the release of version 6, trueSpace is still the best 3D graphics, animation, and rendering package for the price. October 2002 Visionary 3D Design Tool [TS6] offers wide variety of polygon and NURBS modeling options, animation, and a decent renderer, all for a sharp price. Context sensitive toolbars are key factor in trueSpace's fast modeling abilities. Vastly improved accuracy of collision and global and individual pysical attributes. [New] Scene editor offers a lot more general control than the old Key frame Editor ever did. ...Excellent solution at a fair price. October 2002 Really cool 3D modeling application I found trueSpace6 to be a great application that is stable, and after the initial learning curve for the interface, very easy to use. Once I got started with trueSpace6 and began to understand how things worked, I begin to like even more the visual nature of the interface. Icon Finder ... is one of the coolest tools I've seen in an application. October 2002 truelyAmazing! TS6 is one of the most amazing modelers. I would recommend trueSpace to any developer who wants quality 3D graphics at an attainable price. TS6 is one of the most fully featured mid-range 3D graphics packages available... has features that you would normally find only in the more expensive applications. If you are not a TS6 user already, try it. You won't regret it! If you're an old hat at TS, then upgrade and inherit a ton of new and improved features. October 2002 A program you can grow with all the way I choose to do the first tutorial, "Creating a Ship using the Polygon Sweep Tools". For someone who doesn't model, I was pretty impressed with myself after creating my ship. trueSpace6 seems to have it all in their program. Given some of the results that are possible it is very clear that this is a program you can grow with all the way. The features are comparable to programs costing much more money.. so go ahead and jump in! Remember as well to take advantage of the thriving community of users that are happy to help you.   October 2002 One of the Best Packages for Doing 3D Graphics Work trueSpace6 ... is an extremely powerful 3D graphics program....Animation in trueSpace can be as simple as setting a path for the camera to follow....One of my favorite new features is the Facial Animator....The expressions are actually animated, making the new heads look eerily lifelike....Caligari even offers packaged collections of third-party plug-ins, offering significant capabilities to trueSpace.   August 2002          Great New Modeling Tools For a mid-range 3D suite, trueSpace6 offers quite a large amount of functionality. In fact, trueSpace6 contains many features typically found in high end programs only...trueSpace6 is designed for artists, not engineers. Enhancements have been made on nearly every major front...trueSpace6 gives much more power to the polygon end of things….The new array tools are equally formidable....With all of these great new features, now is the time to upgrade.   Beta Review by Mark Parmenter of White River Foundry The new feature descriptions in no way do the power of the features justice. The array, fillet and taper, skew and bend tools are worth the upgrade price and then some: all real-time feed back, all very intuitive.  Cool new NURBs primitives and new view tools. I love the object views. This is by far the best edition yet.
