The open source MakeHuman software lets you model photorealistic humanoid 3-D characters in less than two minutes, or so says the documentation. The GUI looks very friendly and you can export figures in 3D graphics formats that are supported by many different modellers and rendering engines. 3D character creation has never looked so simple. Â We have done several reviews of software that helps you create characters in 3-D that are incredibly lifelike and which can in turn be useful in various applications, from game creation to simply making virtual sculptures for the creative fun of it. This is one of the best tools I have seen.

HTML Slideshow Generator
Dave Raggett has authored HTML Slidy, a cross-browser XHTML slideshow creator that runs like Powerpoint. Â Wow, this is really slick and potentially fills a real need for people who for whatever reason don’t have PowerPoint and don’t particularly want to get it.
- Just click on the window to advance to the next slide.
- Each presentation is a single XHTML file.
- It can be run offline.
- It can incrementally display slide contents ie bullet points or layered images, for instance.
- You can make an images and text scale relative to the browser window size. Very cool feature.
- You can include SVG content by using the object element.
