DESCRIPTION

       K-3D  is  a  free (as in freedom) 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system for GNU/Linux and Win32. K-3D features a robust, object-ori-
       ented plugin architecture and is capable of producing motion-picture-quality output when paired with a RenderMan Interface compliant render
       engine such as Aqsis.

       Please visit http://www.k-3d.org for more information.
