Here’s what looks like a cool tool from MIT to get your feet wet in 3D modeling and simulation without a lot of pain. And it’s free! From the StarLogo site:
StarLogo TNG is The Next Generation of StarLogo modeling and simulation software. While this version holds true to the premise of StarLogo as a tool to create and understand simulations of complex systems, it also brings with it several advances. Through TNG we hope to
- Lower the barrier to entry for programming by making programming easier.
- Entice more young people into programming through tools that facilitate making games.
- Create compelling 3D worlds that encompass rich games and simulations.
This looks like something my little artists could really get their teeth into!
