Powerful graphics and animation with 3D Canvas
Friday, December 16th, 2005
Cool and simple: these two attributes aptly describe the latest version of Amabilis Software’s 3D modeling and animation tool, 3D Canvas. The shareware enables you to create professional quality images for your desktop, or construct Pixar-like introductions for your home video in a flash.
3D Canvas offers some powerful features and a few modeling tools to deform, sculpt and paint 3D objects. You can create complex models from simple 3D primitives, or construct a model from scratch using the Object Building Tools. Or, if you want to make your 3D images lively with some animation, simply position the object within a scene for each point in time in the animation and 3D Canvas will ensure that the resulting animation runs smoothly. The animation can be stepped through a frame at a time, viewed in real-time, and exported to an AVI file.
3D Canvas’ tool roll-up groups provide a clutter-free working environment by allowing the user to customize the program interface so that only the most frequently used items are visible.
