Nice, I need to give Panda 3D a try on my Breezy.<br><br>Also for those who haven't checked lately Blender web site, the "Open Source" Orange Project (short animation released under Creative Commons -BY) looks nice:

Per this blog post, I've got Panda3D running on Edubuntu:<br><a href="http://controlroom.blogspot.com/2006/05/edubuntu.html">http://controlroom.blogspot.com/2006/05/edubuntu.html</a><br><br>Blender was already a part of the default installation. However, on
<br>this Compaq Deskpro, I'm noticing a lot of graphical anomolies around<br>menu highlighting and other controls.<br><br>Blender, you may recall, distinguishes itself by defining all<br>controlling widgets (of which it has many) internally to the OpenGL
<br>interface, i.e. there's no sense of a frame different from the canvas<br>(Panda3D by contrast, uses the Tk-based Python Megawidgets classes for<br>controls).<br><br>It'd be useful to have Blender stay in the picture, from a Panda-user
<br>viewpoint, as from what I've gleaned from the docs, Blender is one of<br>the best platforms for creating new action figures for Panda. There's<br>a file format they have in common, given an included conversion<br>utility.
