New Year, New
Opportunities
2008 was quite the year, bringing with it the
most major changes in the 20 year history of trueSpace. With
Caligari acquired by Microsoft, and then trueSpace7.6 released for
free, we found ourselves so busy that it's now been a whole year
since our last newsletter! Time to set that right.
Now it's time to set that right and in this edition
of the Caligari Eye we'll be taking a look at a virtual version of
the Microsoft Retail Experience
Center, seeing how trueSpace helped bring Santa to life on the web,
getting some useful hints and tips for importing and exporting
objects, and more!
2009 is bringing with it lots of new opportunities to explore,
so be sure to watch our forums, our Twitter and of course the
Caligari Eye to keep up with all the news.

format is a good way to go. Here we look at loading an OBJ,
originally
created in SketchUp and downloaded from TurboSquid.
