Fascinating! Freecad makes 3D in croquet that even can be animated. When I saw a piston move, I laughed like the baby I made laugh in Americo's lesson on mp3's. Well, at least as happily.
I knew of some terms from playing with free maya ple.
Waufrepi is just beginning to fool with animation. I'm not near doing this yet though I noticed skeletal animation in the system browser, something not in croquet release but in cobalt. There was a big John avatar in croquet and you could see him move if you made the mirror big enough.
But, now there is this new animation stuff to build with that excites me.
Leonardo Davinci had his static 3d perspective paintings and studied muscles, we have animated 3d digital art and study the sletons inverse kinemstics moved by the muscles.
Lucasfilm's early digital art concerned movie, Hudson Hawk, and Leonardo Davinci was in it. Must check whether it predated starwars.
Thank you for the post on freecad; oh, if only I could teach dance from a virtual camera having the point of view of the dancer because I believe the keyframes helping to remember the leads for combinations are there!
I would not myself teach, but teach how to teach.
Thanks again.
