Does the LD4DModeler work on a Mac or linux box? Part of my agenda
is to make something not tied to a specific platform, and I like to
make the source available so anyone can play with it.

Hmmm, I never thought of ldglite as an animation tool. I was just
trying to make it easy to find cool camera shots for static scene
pictures.

Sure, I love code, but perhaps you should make it available at your
own web site and post the URL here. I doubt the DirectX part would
be portable, but I already have a way to dump opengl frames, and it
would be neat to learn how to assemble them into a movie file.

Well, yes that's what I'm looking for. I don't play the games
myself so I was wondering what conventions they use. Could you give
a little more detail on the quake style navigation?
Thanks,
