Open 3D Scientific Visualization Toolkit

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the look-what-we-done dept.

Mark Leaman writes "The Science Museum of Minnesota has just announced an online community site for scientific visualization, including thier Open 3D Visualization Toolkit that includes Blender and the GIMP as part of the core development tools. Frustrated with a lack of consolidated resources and discussion about open-source, scientific visualization development tools, the Science Museum of Minnesota's Learning Technologies Department decided to develop their own."

    Big deal..

    Oh yeah, thats it. Its "Open Source" so cause its open, it MUST be good.

    But what's it for? 3D stuff? And they're using a base of Blender? Ouch.

    SItes' down and there's nothing else to see.

    Gimp doesn't kick Photoshop ass. Gimp is a decent substitute.
    Given choice, get a raise or have commercially licensed Photoshop installed at your workplace (not essential but useful), what would you choose?
    I choose the raise and Gimp.
