NAME
Vertex 3D Model Assembler - Point based 3D modeller
SYNTAX
vertex [file] [options] [GUI_options]
DESCRIPTION
- Vertex 3D Model Assembler is a game object modeller with
- optimized design for OpenGL high performance live-end applica
- tions.
- It gives the user both simutaneous instructive and visual
- editing of 3d data to help create the most efficient and detailed
- models.
- Vertex also supports plug-ins (on certain platforms),
- these plug-ins give Vertex capabilities to import/export to al
- ternate file formats, render using external renderers such as
- POVRay, and extended model data manipulation.
- Vertex requires the GTK+ toolkit (1.2.8 or newer) and an
- implementation of OpenGL (ie Mesa3D).
