My response:
I remember reading about Caligari on the Amiga, but never saw it in action. If I recall correctly, it was considered prohibitively expensive by Amiga standards (thousands of dollars?), so needless to say I didn't know anyone who used it.
Did you ever produce any interesting images with Caligari, Clok? I'd be interested in hearing your experiences.
Based on what I've seen of Truespace, even the current version, it looks like it produces rather inferior output, particularly animations. I didn't know Truespace was free now, though, so thanks for the information, Clok!
That having been said, it looks like the formerly commercial Truespace program is not competitive with the freeware Blender program. I'm glad I never bought it. I've certainly never seen any Truespace animations that compare with Blender. I don't get how Caligari stayed in business so long...
Here's a 10-minute "open movie" cartoon, using Blender. If there's anything close to this level of quality being produced by Truespace artists, I'd like to see it.
