Hi ya'll. I've been visiting this site for the last 2 months on my N810. I use it more than my pc or mac now. I work with 3D models and I was wondering if there is any linux or open source app that could be ported on here to view and rotate 3D models? Wings 3D is a fun little modeler and I can import 3ds models into it. I've found posts of porting pocket blender on other sites, but that was for the n770 and that was a while ago. Any ideas? Thanks and this site is addictive.

p.s. I could also use a pixel art app like pixen on here as well, but I think that one's all java. thanks

I meant to respond earlier, but my lovely neighbor came over and distracted me.

I'm pretty sure there are\were a number of 3D modeling apps available for 68k-based Macs. It's possible you could use the Mac emulator Basilisk II to run them on your Internet Tablet. Of course, the old programs are probably only available via eBay.

Truly surprised that Blender hasn't been ported.

Dunno, porting Blender would be a huuuuuge undertaking. Also, I'm not certain it'd be at all useful at an 800x480 resolution.

The ITs don't have any 3D hardware acceleration. Blender is a heavy keyboard driven, OpenGL application. It might run in software, but it'll be a crawl. Also, even with the N810's built in keyboard, it'll be hard to even use.

Well, a PocketPC version is currently maintained. I wouldn't think it would be easier on those kinds of devices either (at least it's far from feasible on my iPAQ h4350)

Didn't stop them from porting it to Windows Mobile a while back.

<edit> Heck, they've gotten 2.42 ported now for Windows Mobile... and I had it on my iPaq 2215 back in the day. I know it's much underpowered compared to my N810.

Working on it... But there seems to be an issue with the linker in scratchbox, I get weird relocation errors.
I hope lardman and the other mbx hackers will provide us with some 3d capabilities...

Im porting blender 2.5alpha to the N900. I've had moderate success.
