-Maverick Model 3D is a 3D model editor.  It was written and tested on Linux.
-It is reported to run on other Unix-like operating systems. It also runs
-on Windows. See INSTALL.WIN32 for Windows-specific instructions.
-
-It is based on Misfit Model 3D that was developed by Kevin Worcester from 2004
-to 2009. Maverick Model 3D is maintained by Zack Middleton (zturtleman).

-Maverick Model 3D requires Qt (5.x) and OpenGL support.  See the INSTALL file

-This program uses autoconf and automake for building from source.  What this
