Reference download of the Virtual Gold Miner Adobe Acrobat PDF document here ( http://goldpeeps.com/goldpeeps_virtual_sluice.pdf ) , and note the scene components. The skinned and organic 3d objects were developed in MoI3d and importand into SimLab Composer to texture, render and animate the scene. Blender would be a good alternative if the desired output is video, however this application has the ability to recreate the whole scene, virtually in 3d offering another dimension in medial delivery to the audience. The Close Up and Dragon Fly cameras in this sample demonstrate that added dimension well. Any questions?

SimLab Composer is a very robust and simple using program!
I have made the French version of it (UI + manual) ;)

I bought it and I'm not so happy. The PDF creation isn't robust. It's a young product and need a lot of refinement for a professional use. It could be a great tool, but ... I'm waiting and waiting.

Mischa, some improvements have been made.
