It’s the same mental gymnastics for magats. They both think what they want is good. And that people that don’t think like them must suffer to change their minds or die.

And it’s so religiously ingrained in them. That the system cannot fail them. The system can only be failed. No amount of reality proving them wrong or resisting them will convince many of them otherwise. They will just double down on cruelty, oppression, and justification.

They don’t provide much in terms of bandwidth for you to access your own media. Just a few bytes through their web services. Their bandwidth usage comes from their desire to be their own streaming service. They provide access to a whole bunch of other media you may have no interest in.

Software of that vintage is notoriously bespoke and painful. Especially on niche platforms. It might make blender seem easy. Which BTW what is your pain point? Godot I’ve been wanting to learn etc. But blender is a prime tool to use with it. I have a decent grasp of the basics when it comes to blender, 30 years of experience.

Blender can do all this. Using it’s Eeve rendering engine which is opengl/vulkan. It even started out on Irix in the 90s as well. That is assuming you are wanting to do architectural visualization?

This specific software being SGI made. Likely doesn’t have a version for any other OS. It and Irix were their babies and how they intended to fund themselves. Hardware wise, early 90s there was no windows or Mac hardware capable of this sort of thing. The best we had was software rendered limited bsp environments with billboarded sprites, aka Doom. And that was seriously taxing for those systems. It wouldn’t have made sense. Non SGI hardware didn’t approach that level of capability commonly till the late 90s early 2000s at the earliest even. SGI was openly struggling by 2006.

Likely your only option would be to pick up an old SGI workstation to run it on. Or emulation unfortunately.

Allen Pan, just from the description alone.

Possible. In free cads defense I started learning blender in 1996. Didn’t really get proficient till 2012 lol. Though I have used AutoCAD fine. But that was way back in 1994 under DOS.

Yes, I would like to use freecad. And for reference I love blender and use it almost daily. The freecad interface and work flow just kind of bounce me off them so far. I can sculpt, model, paint, rig and edit video in blender. Right now getting started making a basic part in freecad seems like black magic.

Considering the vintage of the system. USB 1 caps out around 1Mb. So its more likely than you think. 13 drives at 78.7 Kbps would easily do that. And considering each floppy should be capable of 250Kbps it’s capable of much more.
