Sharikura available public?

Some days ago I asked Masayuki Kido if his very impressive 3D engine Sharikura will be available public. Yesterday he replied to my email:

I am going to exhibit Sharikura 3D as an open source.
However, Sharikura 3D is unfinished.
Because Sharikura 3D is my private work,
please understand that it takes time to release.

Well, I just wanted to share these information without putting pressure on Masayuki. I'll understand that releasing the engine as an opensource product is a huge thing. However - I am really looking forward!

    wow!
    to many extents, sharikura is really impressive.
    making the sources available is not only a hard decision to make, it also means a (damn) lot of work.

    much thanks and respect to roxik.

    i can’t stop watching the demos. The 3D engine seems to be amazing
    we are waiting for an open source version of it.
    keep up ur good work

  16. Özgür ALTAY 2008-12-17, 3:26 am

    I have seen the Sharikura 3D engine on ecodazoo.com
    An amazing 3D website. And Sharikura’s demos already become a legend.

    I wish we can do more things (like testing the engine and report the bugs) to help Masayuki instead of waiting the alfa release.

  17. Manfred Weber 2008-12-17, 4:03 pm

    Hey, thanks for your comment. I really feel the same and this blog post was in no way meant to put pressure on someone. But I aggree, the demos are great and yeah, maybe Masayuki wants to set up an opensource project somewhere. Maybe on google-code? I would defenitely try to help out … docs, tests, whatever,… .

    Any news on this engine? I’m blown away by it! Must play with the source!! Papervision doesn’t even come close to the performance…

  19. Stephanie 2009-04-24, 1:55 pm

    When is this gonna be available.. been waiting soo long now.. any recent news?

  20. legend 2009-04-28, 4:29 am

    no.
    Sharikura 3D is not only a thing with APIs.

  21. Ichi 2009-12-10, 3:33 am

    Owh, Masayuki Kido, I can’t stop to play the demos! So amazing!
