SandboxConcept
From Moviesandbox
the Sandbox concept is a project that tries to look beyond Moviesandbox and investigate the possibilities of a new set of tools for realtime animation production.
the general idea
The Sandbox concept tries to use a 3D engine as its realtime renderer, or display. The virtual environment that is being displayed is created and modified using a number of independent modules, that communicate with the 3D engine by a standardised language such as Collada[1] or something yet to be created.
