Product Information

Pro 3D Graphics Animation Software

You are purchasing a new CD of this product. This product is the full version and is new on CD.

Works with Windows XP, Vista & Windows 7.

A fully functional integrated 3D creation software suite. It lets users create high quality 3D graphics, movies, animations and replay real-time, interactive 3D content. Over the last decade, it has evolved as an in-house tool for a leading European animation studio. A powerful technology used for creating broadcast quality 3D content.

It is capable of producing high quality animations, movies, performing rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. It is the only 3D creation suite you need. It allows the artist to model, texture, animate, render, and export the finished product.

The active development community is steadily adding new features and extensions such as the superb Yafray rendering engine for generating photo-realistic effects. It now also supports dynamic particle generation, advanced UV texture unwrapping methods using LSCM algorithms and much more. Natively exports to a multitude of 3D formats such as VRML, Cal3d, AC3D. With the powerful and easily extensible Python plug-in support, you can write your own extensions or choose from a range of existing plug-ins.
