Where Rev could be going...3D?

[Henk van der Velden]

I've looked into this before, but couldn't find any way to contact  
the developers, download a beta or anything.
It would be a pity if all this work simply vanished. I, for my part,  
would be very willing to provide some help with the further  
development of this thing.
Right now it looks like the only way to do 3D in Rev, since Axel is  
dead.


Kind regards,

Henk
