Recent Months
While 2008 as a whole was probably the
busiest time in Caligari's history, just these last few weeks have
been filled with news! For those who haven't been able to follow
events, here is a summary of the highlights.
|
trueSpace
on TurboSquid
One of the first third party developments
released for trueSpace came in the form of a plug-in that
allows direct access to TurboSquid from inside trueSpace.
This is a great benefit to trueSpace
users, letting them both buy and sell work in the world's
largest library of commercial 3D content.

Space Navigator
Another third party development,
this time from 3Dconnexion who released a driver for trueSpace
to enable it to work with their range of 3D mice.
These enable you to fly through
a scene with unprecedented ease, and it works great in other
applications such as Virtual Earth too.

Yafaray
One on-going development in the
community is to create a plug-in for trueSpace that will
allow use of the Yafaray render engine.
Yafaray is a free standalone render
engine that offers Global Illumination, Caustics and more.
This one is eagerly anticipated by many!

Contest Changes
The monthly Gallery contests now
allow 30Mb of space for an animation entry, and larger dimensions
for an image entry. We also got some new sponsors in the
form of 3Dconnexion, Truebones, Parva, and Jason Lechak,
which means winners will have some cool prizes to choose
from.

Plug-ins Galore
What has really turned trueSpace
into a hotbed of third party development is the work of
the community. There have been too many plug-ins, scripts
and helper objects released to mention them all, so below
you will find some links to just a few!
Be sure to search
TurboSquid
and
the forums for more, and customize your trueSpace!

trueSpace
is Tweeting
We now have a trueSpace Twitter
on the go, another way of keeping up to date with news from
Team Caligari. It gets written about once per day, sometimes
more, so won't flood you with updates!
