The collected works of jahshaka

Hi,

We are working on the next release of jahshaka ( http://www.jahshaka.com for more info) and have finished the inital port to irix. We still have a lot of things to work on now that we have a solid cross platform development strategy that doesnt tax the development process. We used to waste so much time supporting just windows and linux but with our new strategy (qmake) we can now focus on coding! We have also recruited a few good programmers so you can expect us to reach v3.0 pretty quickly... (and its going to really rock when it gets there!)

We would really appreciate your feedback so we can get any major bugs out of the way. The irix binary was compiled on a r10k system but the source is really easy to build, we build it using the sgi Cc compiler so im sure we may need to tweak the system for gcc.

We are looking for a sgi developer to help out, please email me on mailto:[email protected] if you are interested. We are having some sgi-specific issues especially in the paint module... and with 3ds max obj support.

You will need to have the following freeware items installed for it to run

http://freeware.sgi.com/Installable/glut-3.7.html
http://freeware.sgi.com/Installable/qt-3.0.3.html
http://freeware.sgi.com/Installable/freetype-2.1.3.html

The binary is located here:

If you want to check the latest source code out from cvs use the following commands:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/jahshakafx co jahshaka

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! Please post to the jahshaka forums if you can at:

Thanks,

It took a while since we have limited resources and we didnt raise a few million bucks like the guys at blender did so we have to just take it one step at a time.

We have attracted a few developers now and we are starting to make some solid progress so please dont judge us too harshly yet...

Our goal is to make it to 3.0 and we are looking to the future, it took linux a few years before people took it seriously!

i know blender rocks, i wasnt trying to attack them either... i have it on my boxes and use it frequently.

I wasnt talking about the public buyout, they raised millions before that when they were a company... so the dot-com days were actually a mixed blessing. We have been compared to them in the past since they are now 'open source' but i just want to make the difference between their maturity and ours clear. We hope to get there soon!

We also hope to work on integrating jahshaka into blender similar to the max/combustion integration thats out there.
