Traces - The precursor of Blender

In case you haven't see it already:


Amazing. Remember, this was software from some 20 years ago, when most computers could only do crappy line art GUI's (without AA, barely any shading other than dotty-dithering stuff) that sometimes even had update problems.

Now, "Traces" was the precursor to Blender that was developed an used at NeoGeo back in the early 1990's (Blender was started around September/October 1992-1994 according to comments that used to be, and probably still lurk, in some source files). To see where some of the concepts have evolved from is quite amazing.
