Coindesigner RC1 (Default branch). Coindesigner is a RAD (rapid application development) system to build 3D applications using openInventor. It allows to write simple 3D scenarios just using drag&drop, so users require no programming acknowledges at all to use it. It is a system equivalent to Glade or Qt-designer, where one can choose components from the openInventor toolkit, add them somewhere in the scene, and configure them in a very easy way. Changes: A quit dialog, support for the 3ds file format, support for almost every field type of openInventor, the use of [] to identify MF... fields, several views of the nodes tree, and the first release of binaries for Windows. The right mouse button edits SFNode fields in the field editor. Node names (SoBase::name) are edited as fields. [freshmeat.net announcements (Global)] 9:43:20 PM
