Does anyone know of any mesh handling units for FreePascal? It would be nice if poses/animation were also supported.

You can take a look at my programs at
http://www.camelot.homedns.org/~michalis/
I have there programs to handle VRML 1.0 and 3DS files (and basic Wavefront OBJ). Most important is viewer for 3d models, view3dscene, at
http://www.camelot.homedns.org/~michalis/view3dscene.php
There are also two small games using the same VRML 1.0 code. One of them (lets_take_a_walk) has also spatial sound using OpenAL. There's also command-line raytracer.
I consider VRML 1.0 handling almost complete. Also conversion from 3DS to VRML 1.0 is implemented. Models can be viewed using interactive OpenGL rendering, you can walk in the scene (with collision detection). Also simple raytracer (classic and basic path-tracer) is implemented. Everything is pure ObjectPascal code and compiles and works under Linux, Windows and FreeBSD (someone is also working on porting this to Darwin+PowerPC). Whole sources are available on GNU GPL terms.
I was going to move my development to sourceforge.net and to submit all these things to FPC "contributed units" page. But first I wanted to translate many comments in sources to English (as many comments are now in Polish). I wanted to do it in August... but I didn't find enough time. But I will surely do it within a month (or two).
Have fun.
