N-Grain Software

[Syclone1]

Just curious if anyone has any experience with ngrain's interactive 3D package? There thinking of getting it in where I work but the pricing is way over bloated IMO but then again I just work here :P

Anyway just looking for any feedback that I can get on this one...

This stuff is sooo creepy

I'm suffering from future shock - this stuff is creepy.
I can just imagine an n-grain video of how to tell a mother her son has been killed in combat - I'm sure if it doesn't exist it is around corner.
As against that - it seems like a sweet learning aid.

That could be a big part of it percy but they are trying to get in to the oil and gas market but there is some hesatation here as the cost for a couple seats and the ability to create the training apps is some where around $75k to $100K+ CDN

of which Im not sure if its realy worth that kind of money to non-government companies...

If anyone knows of anything else that provides interactive 3D training of sorts please post it

Thanks,

for simple VR there is vr4max, tunrtool and document3D

for more advanced stuff, you have quest3D, Anark, Torque and many others, one more pricey than the other.

there's also free solutions like blender, blitzMax(well, amost free) and ogre3D which looks promising...

here is a lot of more info and an top10 engine chart:
