I'm quite excited about this software for a few reasons...

1) It's free
2) It's open (can modify it all you want)
3) The engineers working on it are familiar with Indonesian shadow puppets
and have built the engine around simple mechanics like hinges and joints.
4) Designed with live performance in mind.

I keep thinking about Jim Henson's film Time Piece and trying to fit
learning all these things into one's life.

Cheers,
Brian
