It used to sell at a price around $600 before Microsoft acquired the parent company Caligari some time back.
TrueSpace, which is now actually a Microsoft product, is available for download at www.caligari.com (free registration required).
Different people have come up with different opinions about this relatively surprising news - to set free a $600 product. But the general opinion is that Microsoft has taken this step to compete with Google's SketchUp - which is also available for free - and allows you to upload content to Google Earth directly.
Here is an excerpt from the official blog posting:
As you'll recall, several months ago we acquired Caligari because of their advanced 3D toolset - trueSpace (among other assets). I've always felt sketchy about other 3D freeware, so starting today trueSpace 7.6 is now available for download.....FOR FREE! And, there is a direct connection into Live Search Maps so you can create SUPER high resolution 3D models using trueSpace, then right from the environment upload the model into Live Search Maps as a collection item. Once you've created your collection, you can import your collection into your Virtual Earth application and BAM you have your own custom 3D models in your Virtual Earth application. We'll host the models right in our 3D collections cloud! This is going to be a long post - get some coffee and make it diesel.
TrueSpace is way ahead in terms of features and power when it comes to comparison with SketchUp - so time will tell how the audience react to this.
I personally use Blender 3D, but choice is always good.
I am a big fan of Vital Signs. I do not find a day when I do not listen to atleast one of their songs. I salute the band for delivering good music. An odd couple of songs they did were very much inspired by popular western bands but other than those you can't ignore the fact that they gave us Dil Dil Pakistan and a long list of wonderful songs.
I love the patriotic songs they've done. Maula, Hum Hain Pakistani, Dil Dil Pakistan, and so on. Here is one song, written by Hassan Akbar Kamal, which is relatively less known but is very very good. It's dedicated to Pakistan Air Force.
So, here goes the song:
Oonchi, bohat oonchi
In hawaon mei rehna hai zindagi
Jeena zindagi
Dhundli fazaaon se
Har dam nigahon mei
Apni zameen hai
Tez khayalon se
Apni uraanein hain
Aik mohabbat
Kitni jaanein hain
Zindagi ka maza
Yun jeeney mei hai
Kal b zinda rahein
Aisey Hum Jiyen
Oonchi, bohat oonchi
In hawaon mei rehna hai zindagi
Jeena zindagi
Har dam nigahon mei
Apni zameen hai
Kal to usi ka hai
Aaj na jo haarey
Duur hai wo jeevan
Aag jo se kheley
Her naya aasman
Hai apna jahan
Kya pata
Kal humein
Jana ho kahan
Han zindagi ka maza
Yun jeeney mei hai
Kal bhi zinda rahein
Aisey Hum Jiyen
Han zindagi ka maza
Yun jeeney mei hai
Kal bhi zinda rahein
Aisey Hum Jiyen
* I types the lyrics as I listened to the song. So if anyone feels there should be a correction, please do let me know!
Except for one thing: Youtube is not opening up :( and I am tired of watching all those previously downloaded videos. I'm not sure what's happening.
Other than that, I am having so much fun these days! We had an ammmazing story back in the old pavillion! Awrite, I'm into code words here so I better shut up :)
Its so much like as if the whole world is going through a while loop and I am an argument to some interesting function being called in that loop!
Internet TV is a cool thing. I am almost sure about the fact that one day, the TV sets at our homes will be useless as on demand iTV (yepp) will overtake the usual format for the current style the TV works. The computers will become much more convenient that housewives will begin to watch their favorite soaps on demand and that means no late chaye and dinner for ghar walas! :) Or daddy will be ready all the time to take the kids to the park as his favorite sports show can always be played back again later! If you're confused about what the heck I'm talking about, don't be, these ideas are based on something I am in touch with these days :P
Anyways, please please pray for my YouTube to be back soon!
The 4 Man Show on AAJ TV is one of the most fun filled shows I have ever come across! These guys are just too good. They come up with stuff of such quality that keeps our hopes alive of getting quality entertainment from the local channels. There are other programs too like Hum Sab Umeed Se Hain but the 4 Man Show beats all the others hands down! Nadia and Khalid Butt are just so awesome lol!
Here are a couple of videos I saw on youtube and I cannot stop laughing! You better see these two clips on youtube to be in full agreement with me. The video clips show Khalid Butt interviewing Ahmed Raza Kasuri, the government's lawyer who went out of his mind in "The Great Debate" at Geo TV and started swearing really badly! I was literally on my floor when I was watching that and I have watched that now for about a mentazillian times and I still enjoy it.
