pyFormex can now directly export (most of) your current scene to a WebGL web page that makes your 3D scene viewable from a WebGL
enabled browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari).
You can even manipulate the model with your mouse: rotate, move, zoom. And you get some GUI elements where you can change attributes like color, transparency, visibility.
Check the example(s) at http://www.nongnu.org/pyformex/webgl.html (if you have a conforming browser).

This new release comes close after the previous one, because some people experienced installation problems with 0.8.8 (esp. those installing in a VirtualBox).
Still there are some interesting new things: update tutorial, some improved and new examples (e.g. BorderExtension), start of interfaces with Calculix FEA code.
Enjoy!

We have released pyFormex 0.8.6: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/pyformex/pyformex-0.8.6.tar.gz
The major change of this release, which comes close after the 0.8.5 release, is the improved installation procedure, which has become more standards compliant and will facilitate creation of packages for major distributions.
More details are in the file ReleaseNotes.

A new release of pyFormex has just been made available.
You can grab it here: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/pyformex/pyformex-0.8.5.tar.gz
This release has some important new features (like partial DXF import) but also many minor improvements (e.g. in the installation procedure). Finally, there has been a lot of code cleanup largely triggered by our move to Savannah.
More details are in the file ReleaseNotes.

We completed the migration of the pyFormex project from BerliOS to Savannah. Well, there may be a few things left to do, but we completed at least 95% of the work. So it is time to declare this place as the One and Only Official Home for pyFormex.

We got our project approved on Savannah and thus have a new home for pyFormex :)
During the next weeks we will start to move things (source, website, docs, etc.) over from BerliOS. We will post a message when something gets ready for use. By the end of the month, migration should be completed.
