3D Modeling for Tiger
includes animation and 3ds file import.
Microspot Ltd, developers of 2D and 3D graphics and photo applications, have announced the release of Microspot Modeler version 3.6. Modeler is an interactive 3D modeling application that makes it simple to create and render models in real world dimensions and view the results as you are working. Microspot Modeler can be used on it's own or as an ideal companion product for Microspot Interiors enabling you to produce your own furniture items and accessories to add to the items already supplied with Interiors.Two new tools and three new palettes have been added to make it easy to create animations of the camera, objects, lights, the sun, textures and colors. Animation brings designs to life and allows them to be distributed using QuickTime.
Adding 3ds file import has dramatically increased the possible items that can be placed into 3D scenes. As well as the items supplied with the product there are now almost limitless supplies of objects that can be used. Some 3ds objects are available free on the web and others may be purchased from the many third party sources available.
Also new in this version are dynamic tessellation and support for translucent objects. Dynamic tessellation gives enhanced rendering speed. This has also been improved by reorganizing and optimizing of the libraries. Tiger support has been enhanced and other general improvements have been made.
Microspot Modeler is now on sale in the Apple Store in Europe and from the Microspot web store.
