Limited Number of The Gate into The Mind's Eye DVD's Available

Mind's Eye was a exciting journey into advanced computer animation back in 1992. This VHS video showed what the best and brightest in 3D could achieve at that time period. Sadly Mind's Eye was only ever released on VHS but one of it's sequels The Gate Into the Mind's Eye is just as impressive and can be purchased on DVD via the link below.

TrueSpace Dies!

Microsoft in it's strange wisdom killed Caligari Truespace! Sad to see this cool 3D animation software package that started on the Amiga die a horrible death on Windows. We predicted earlier in the Aladdin 4D blog that any 3D program that was only on one operating system would suffer. Link with sad news is listed below.

Over 1 Billion Served

It's always nice to witness the birth of a new platform (iPhone). The speed of over a billion apps downloaded from the App Store is amazing. It just illustrates the changing landscape of software development and the nature of technological excellence. If you build good tech customers will quickly come. Software development today is a very different world then days gone past when Aladdin 4D was originally created. We watch and hope and dream for better days in the future.

Magic Toolbar

Aladdin 4D's Toolbar will be changing in the next version. The greyscale drab toolbar pictured here will be gone. It will be replaced with a user configurable toolbar that will allow you to create your own images for the various tools. There will also be an option to just display text in case you want to read what the tool does, text what a concept!
