Not as good as previous versions
eg180January 2, 2012
Pros
Free. Powerful modeling. Decent rendering.
Cons
Buggy. Bad texture size limits. Takes longer to do things than previous versions did.
Summary
I've been using trueSpace for over a decade. I started with trueSpace 2 somewhere around the year 2000-2001. I've also used trueSpace 3.2 (the previous free version) and trueSpace 4. Sadly, trueSpace 7.6 is a poor successor to the previous versions I've used. If you factor in the fact that it's free and it has many of the functions of software that costs well over $1000, it is a good program. However, it is full of bugs. Things like using multithreading (support for multiple processor cores) will crash the program pretty often when rendering single objects. I also get a lot of "fatal error" and even "out of memory" messages, even though I'm running this on Windows 7 64-bit with more than enough RAM. There is also a bad bug where (sometimes) gluing objects together or hitting "undo" will remove materials (textures, etc.) from the mesh you're working with. Also, aside from the bugs, it has a lot of other issues. Loading .cob meshes (trueSpace 6.6 and older format meshes) takes a lot longer than it does in previous versions. Gluing objects together takes much longer than it should, as does undoing things. The worst part about it is that it has a texture image size limit of 2000x2000 pixels. Anybody who knows 3D art knows that 2000x2000 isn't very high, especially when other programs can use 16000x16000 and higher. Previous versions of trueSpace could use 4000x4000, I have no idea why this was downgraded for version 7. This texture limit makes doing high quality and large renders very difficult, since high resolution rendering requires higher resolution textures. The other bad thing about trueSpace is that it is no longer updated or developed. In 2008, Microsoft purchased Caligari and claimed they intended to keep developing trueSpace, though they cut the project shortly thereafter. So, the legacy that is left behind by Caligari is an extremely buggy release of previously solid software. It's actually quite sad for a longtime trueSpace user such as myself. If you want to use trueSpace, you might want to try and see if you can find a free version of trueSpace 3.2 somewhere and use that for modeling and this version for texturing and rendering. It does decent for rendering, but the slowdowns and bugs while modeling can be a real pill.
I can open the program and close the program
Alecia35950October 12, 2011
Pros
it looks very neat
Cons
I cant get the directions, help, figure it out or download a user manual. Its complicated.
Summary
It could be a great way to create animation however i just cannot figure it out. I guess its not for a new user
pretty good.

Pros
works good.
Cons
hard to figure some things out. Need to read tutorals. Has not been updated in a few years.
Summary
Good free 3d rendering software!
Great 3D Design package
MikomDudeMarch 23, 2011
Pros
Easy to use, great interface and perfect for modeling
Cons
No updates, limited exporting to other file formats and it has a few bugs here and there
Summary
If you learn how to avoid the bugs, how to use both sides for modeling and rendering, trueSpace7 can be your favorite application for many years to come. Its interface and realtime rendered workspace make it easier to use than most other free 3d programs of this high standard. If you are more artistic than technical, this is the program for you. All in all, I'd say this is definitively worth the download.
Good program with lots of possibilities
Sam_the_ClownDecember 1, 2010
Pros
The program is interesting and impressive and certainly worth the time to learn.
Cons
The program is in need of instructions and tutorials.
Summary
The program has a similar output as that of Anim8tor and Blender (both freeware), with the exception that this has a library of premade objects. It needs instructions, and tutorials. There are a few on the internet and You Tube, but not enough. You are left to your own wits to try and figure it out. Considering it's free, however, you've got nothing to lose. It could use a help file and an uninstaller.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Dec 3, 2010<p/>Since originally reviewing this product, I've found an excellent source of information, tutorials and examples on the Caligari web site. While I've only began to explore the unlimited possibilities of this creative program, I believe it is one that I'll make good use of for several years to come. I'm very impressed. It deserves 5 stars easily.
Full scale 3D software for Beginners as wellas advanced
oneschillingApril 12, 2010
Pros
The possibilities are seemingly endless and allows for editing, animation and rendering up to professional standards. A lot of plug ins are available for free and the software is compatible to most 3d models. Beginners friendly. And its free...
Cons
It has been officially discontinued and as such is not directly supported anymore. There are however lots of training videos and forums available.
