Groboto - Polyloop

This is a very unique little program:

http://www.groboto.com/index.html

Many of you may already know of it. Originally a Mac only app, it was written for use by children. But like many 'children's books', it's quality and innate neatness appeals to many adults. The interface is reminisent
of Bryce, but what it does is combine primitives with a set of 'robotic' tools that are capable of generating algorithmic shapes and animating the growth, movement and morphs thru time. A slick renderer, with fog effects, a deep library of textures and primitives. The ability to create your own primitive 'construction blocks', and export the objects out as .obj. All for a price of $79 USA, plus there is a free demo. Loads of fun.

Hi,

For make abstract 3D, this program is perfect.
It is also very useful to make textures 2D with Photoshop.

I adore this program and I bought myself it like Christmas present :P
