I missed that meeting, but as a note, http://www.linux3d.org/ has many
reviews/links to 3D modeling packages available for Linux, many under the GPL.
One of the more promising ones is mindseye.sourceforge.net. Blender is also a
*VERY* nice package, if you have time to master the obfuscated UI that it
uses. Blender is the inhouse modeler used/written by/for NeoGeo, which they
opened up several years ago. For a while, it was free, but limited in
features, aka, you had to 'buy' additional features, but since June 21st, it's
all 100% open, as well as some parts being open sourced. A short list
of 'features' is located at http://www.blender.nl/complete/index.html This is
a perfect case of a situation where a commercial entity opened up an in house
application, and reaped the rewards from doing so, in the way of plugins, etc.
They also sell a full color printed manual for it.
