Anim8or is a 3D modeling and character animation program that I have written over the past couple of years,
not as a commercial endeavor, but because I love 3D graphics, animation, and programming. While it is far from a complete professional level application like 3DStudio MAX or Lightwave, I believe that it has enough capability to be of use to others.
Special Features:
- 3D Modeler - Create and modify 3D models. Built-in primitives such as spheres, cylinders, platonic solids, etc.; mesh-edit and subdivision; splines, extrusion, lathing, modifiers, bevel and warps,
- TrueType font support - 2D and 3D extruded text for any TrueType font.
- OpenGL based real time operation,
- Import and modify .3DS (3D Studio), .LWO (Lightwave), and .OBJ (Wavefront) object files,
- Export .3DS files,
- Built in 3D Object browser,
- Jointed character editor,
- Morph targets,
- Anti-aliased software renderer for high quality, production quality images,
- Create 3D scenes and animations and output .AVI movie files, .JPG and .BMP images,
- Supports textures, bump maps, soft shadows, spotlights, fog, and much more,
- Texture support for .BMP, .GIF, and .JPG format files,
- Print images of scenes and models.
- OpenGL shaders for realistic previews.
- Scripting language.
- Plig-ins for parameteric shape and object export.

Hi Daniel Costalis,
Sorry,
I don’t have linx systems. and I did not decide to compile a debian package.
Try to contact the Anim8or’s author.
