Hi!

I am programming on a 3DtoolKit (3dtk). The latest release (alpha3-pre3)
supports:

- Z-Buffer
- textures
- reading bitmaps (pcx, tga with RLE compression, lbm/pbm, bmp (both Window and OS/2) )
- flat-shading
- you can use fixed or float point math
- camera, which allows you to turn and move around you want
- edge spanning on polygons


Now I am hacking in "progressive polygonnet" and a better object
file-format.

I am happy, if you test it. Don't safe with critic and improvement
suggestions!

You can download it from ftp://ftp.ggi-project.org/pub/ggi/misc/3dtk/


Cheers,

Christoph Egger
