Anim8or

Anim8or, a 3d modeling program by Steve Glanville, saves data between sessions in a format with the extension AN8.

Anim8or has a separate scripting language in addition to an8 files.

A game engine, Cre8or, is based on using Anim8or resources.

As a Wikipedia editor put it in 2010, "While Anim8or was once comparable to other freeware 3D animation software such as Blender, it has seen a decline in recent years", and, by that time, Anim8tor had largely become only of historical interest.
