`31.Oct.2005`	MorphOS: Virtual Grand Prix 2 (Update) Paolo 'the Alien' Cattani and Alassoft ported Virtual Grand Prix 2 to MorphOS. The full MorphOS version is now available for download free of charge for personal use, as a thank you to the whole MorphOS community. The MorphOS version has been made possible thanks to a free ODW development system from Genesi/Freescale. It requires MorphOS 1.4.5, the 3D Update and a supported gfx board. Virtual Grand Prix 2 is a modern open-wheeled racecar simulator by Paolo Cattani and his staff at Alas Soft. It is the sequel of the original Virtual Grand Prix developed for the Amiga range of computers. VGP2 uses industrial standards for the simulation of the mechanical components of the car, thus achieving a very high degree of realism in the handling of the virtual one-seater. The MorphOS version of Virtual Grand Prix 2 is free for personal use and can be downloaded from the title link. However, if you think that the software deserves it, you can make a small donation for it. According to the authors, you can consider it as a kind of "sequel-ware" - i.e. if they collect some money, they might port any further development of the game or sequels to MorphOS as well. Update: (19:00, 01.11.05, snx) Andrea Maniero points out that the MorphOS version is compatible with additional tracks that have been created for the Mac and Win versions (you just need to edit the VGP2/config/circuiti.config file accordingly), and with the update pack that gives names, models and textures from the real 2004 F1 championship. The additional packs can be found at the official VGP2 website. For further information, you can also check the old threads in the RaceSimCentral VGP2 forum. (snx) [News message: 31.

`30.Oct.2005` Carsten Siegner (ANF)	3D Demo Object for Blender: Gingerbread man with bones (update) Carsten Siegner has created a demo object for the 3D renderer Blender, which illustrates how bones (so-called fittings) are built into the gingerbread man from the Blender tutorial. In addition to other diverse platforms, Blender is also available as a port for MorphOS. Using the bones, you can animate the gingerbread man arbitrarily freely. In the existing demo object, only bones for arms and legs are available, however more - for the movement of the head, for instance - can be added. The object does not possess textures yet, since it should primarily illustrate the integration of the bones. Download: Blender-3D-demo.lha (28 KB) Update: (10:22, 30.10.05, snx) The related instructions in the original tutorial also exist in German. (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 30.
