K-3D Portable 0.8.0.1 has been released. K-3D is a 3D modeling and animation software package. It combines flexible plugins with a visualization pipeline architecture, making K-3D a versatile and powerful tool for artists. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free.

Features:

New artists will find K-3D easy to understand, and professionals feel right at home. K-3D is intuitive, consistent, and discoverable. K-3D features procedural and parametric workflows. Properties can be adjusted interactively and results appear immediately. The powerful, node-based visualization pipeline allows more possibilities than traditional modifier stacks or histories. Selection flows from one modifier to the next. An advanced undo/redo system ensures you can always go back, and the pioneering undo tree means you can always go forward, even where other programs lose the ability to redo. Industrial-strength standards form the foundation on which K-3D builds - including native RenderMan(TM) support that integrates tightly with the K-3D user interface.

Graphics Note: K-3D makes heavy use of your PC's graphics system. In Windows Vista and 7 it may cause Windows to temporarily switch out of the Aero theme to Basic. It may not run while applications with advanced graphics hooks are running (VMs like VirtualBox, for example).
