I need to acquire the following two programs for our imaging lab.
They must run on sparcstations.
1. A paint program -- We need a pixel-oriented program
(like Deluxe Paint for the Amiga) that permits image compositing and
touchup as well as from-scratch drawings. It should handle 256
grayscale images, 256 color-from-palette images, and possibly 24-bit
true color images.
2. A 3D object editor -- We need a program that will allow interactive
creation of 3D objects to be rendered using sunvision. Sunvision itself
has no such editor. There are a number of these available for the Amiga
e.g. Impulse's Imagine or NewTek's LightWave 3D. We need something
similar to this for a sparcstation. Sunvision has a renderman interface
so an object editor that creates renderman output would work.
Q: What programs are available either commercially or for free distribution?
Who are the distributors? What are the prices?
Q: Which of the above are the best? Are there lists of functionalites available?
Are there reviews available?
Thank-you
