AmigaOS 4: First screenshots of a Blender port
Apparently, Thomas Frieden is working on a port of the 3D package Blender to AmigaOS 4, as proved by two of the screenshots published on amigans.net (1, 2).
Hans-Jörg "Rogue" Frieden comments that although the port is already very stable and complete except for the GameBlender module, some things simply do not work as they should yet. Therefore, some time will go by until the release. (cg) (Translation: cad)
