K-3D is Free Software, making this a tricky question – on one level, the answer is “any platform you like”. Volunteers have built K-3D on nearly any platform you can imagine, including Linux, Mac OSX, Windows, BSD Unix, and Solaris. Often, this work takes the form of a one-off “stunt” that doesn’t get maintained. In more practical terms, normal day-to-day K-3D development takes place on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows XP. Beginning with K-3D 0.7 we provide binary installers for Mac OSX and Windows, and source-code for all other platforms. Various Free Software operating system distributions build K-3D from source and provide binary packages for their users. If K-3D isn’t available for your platform, we encourage you to either build it from source or contact your operating system distribution to suggest that they include K-3D. K-3D should work on all varieties of Windows after Windows 95, but user and developer feedback is necessary to verify this.
