Emma might be the answer to my dreams

I just read about a new 3d project called Emma which uses the OGRE 3d engine and the Lua scripting language to create an open source, free 3d modeling environment. Yay!!!

I have been wanting to create stories in 3d since I started building 3d worlds more than a decade ago. I'd become excited by POV-Ray (still am) and VRML (which seems on its death bed) and I have been creating my own 3d language as an on-again, off-again project for the last few years and learning a lot in the process, but today I learned of this new project. Emma sounds it might be the one!

Wahoo!!! I hope. I hope. I hope.

You only missed wxWidgets :)

Emma looks like a great idea - it certainly includes all the right OS tech. I'm monkeying with Ogre at the moment, trying to recreate someone's closed source toy as an OS project - it certainly seems to have everything in the right place.

Yummy. Thanks for the info.

I've played with (still am) VRML, Viewpoint (license fees killing this), Adobe Atmosphere (dead). I've become interested in Machinima and am currently playing with Second Life (http://www.secondlife.com/)
