Real life has got me occupied alot the past months (business, family).
I am currently finishing up beta 0.5 and already have some model related code ready for the version after that. Beta will be released in private first to some testers in the next days, and in a week or two it will be public (if testing doesn't show alot of problems).
True, S3D is alot of work, because I want it to be an easy tool that never fails and is not just some hackjob. This goal is not easy, and obviously it will have flaws during the process, but I aim for the best possible. That means 'my users' have to wait until I'm happy with each release
Having said that, I am planning to do things a little different in the future. Beta 0.5 is basically 60-70% rewrite of the core, and I've also added alot of new features. In the future I will be aiming for more frequent smaller updates
Model support will be up and running hopefully in about 3-4 weeks after beta 0.5 (januari). I will start on it as soon as beta 0.5 is sent out for testing...
