Is there any 3d program that runs on amiga 2000, 68000 with no fpu ?
I know the render times will be crazy, but i still would like to know.
Thank you !!!

I used to use 3D Master, by Martin F. Staley, on my 1MB A500. Shareware, $35, I liked it so much I registered. With shadows and all the other features turned on, render time was about 23 hours per frame on a stock 7.14MHz A500, haha. :p

turbo silver, sculpt animate, at least early versions of reflections i guess, maxon c4d v1 (?). i think imagine (no fp) version could run, dunno though how much ram it needs.

wasnt there a no fp version of imagine?

Real3d too I think ran on 68000, it was pretty good at the time (early 90s if I remember )

I have cover disk with Imagine 3 and it worked on my A2000 w/o FPU. The down side was that I had to run it in PAL mode on my NTSC machine, and because it used interlaced screen, it flickered a lot.
I also can vouch for Turbo Silver, my first 3D program for Amiga, and it was super slow on 7MHz 68000:hammer: , but it worked.

Vista (not VistaPro, but it's progenitor) runs on a stock A500 or 68k based machine w/o FPU or MMU I can attest. As others have pointed out, render times are hideously slow, although I think I did a 7 or 8 frame animation in a few hours once.

I was happy with POV-Ray on the amiga, the learning curve is a little bit higher but it's worth it, you can make stunning images when you know how to use it.
But be aware it's slow without FPU.
