Hi,

Does anyone know of a 3d Modelling application that runs on an Axim, similiar to lightwave, max etc?

Check it out. It's called Cortona and it's VRML based. This is the only thing I've been able to find out about 3D on PocketPC.

I think they have a modeler, too. You can always convert.

I am interested in finding more 3D applications on the Axim.

I work with intelligent 3D mapping for PCs. Similar to 3D-GIS.

i used to use a 3d app called Blender 3d its freeware and it may possibly work on ppc's i know it was going that way with the development before the company went bust!!!

Interesting. I just today recieved my Axim X5 Advanced (woohoo!) and was going to be looking into this area.

Am interested to know what OpenGL capability (if any) exists on the Axim. Battery life considerations probably come into it I imagine.

I'm the author of the glData (http://gldata.sourceforge.net) project (OpenGL data viewer in Win32) and so OpenGL graphics are a sideline interest to me.

Thanks,

Aaron

check out this link written by gamedev.

talks about the Quake and Doom engines ported over using GNU license. So, freeware engine time.

If you're looking for 3D performance, I think the best way to do it is using the Intel Primitives, I've used them, and they are fast (because they are assembly and fixed point, which ARM chips love :) )

I'm not sure what the license is like thought :-\
I just recieved then with this xscale dev kit.

IIRC, it has optimized 3d/4d(homogeneous) vector/matrix routines, mpeg decoding routines and some graphics drawing stuff too :P

BTW: OpenGL on any system without a FPU or acceleration will be unbearably slow.

jeez, this is getting a bit technical :D all i wanted was to know if their was a app i could use to design 3D models :-)

after some more research, I found that Cortona does NOT have a modeler for PPC. (too bad!) I'm still looking for one.

looks like your thread got pirated. ;) sry. I'll open up a new one for 3D in the DEV corner...
