AC3D Description

A drawing software for anything in 3D AC3D project is a drawing software for anything in 3D.AC3D can draw:- games- virtual reality and flight simulation- scientific, medical and general data visualisation- rapid prototypes of 3D designs- high resolution 3D renderings Here are some key features of "AC3D": · Simple, intuitive 'click and drag' user interface · Truetype font 2D and 3D text generator · Integrated graphical texture coordinate editor · Subdivision surface modeling · Boolean operations · Fast real-time OpenGL graphics views (2D and 3D) · Multipoint polygon and line editing down to vertex level · No polygon limits · Extrusion and surface revolution · Software development kit and plugin interface. · Fast and memory efficient, compact program binary. · Built-in fast OpenGL 3D renderer with adjustable field-of-view - instantly see results of your actions in 3D. Spin the model or switch into 'walk mode' for Quake-style control. · Edit at different granularity - groups, objects, surfaces, vertices · Full polygon editing. e.g create a sphere and easily move the points (vertices) to deform the shape. · Create and edit multi-point polygons and lines - not just triangles. · Manipulate individual surfaces · insert/remove vertices · make holes · spike · spline · bevel · triangulate · flip · subdivide · Texture mapping support with real-time rendering. Texture/background image file formats supported: · GIF · JPG · PNG · BMP · DDS · PPM · TGA (Targa) · TIF · Graphical Texture Coordinate Editor (UV Mapper) · Assemble surfaces into new objects · 4 views - 3 orthographic and one 3D. All at once or individually. · Named objects can be searched for within a scene · Navigate/Zoom around the 2d views with cursor keys and other single key presses · Hierarchical view window · Hide/unhide objects for easier/faster editing of complicated scenes · Headlight and up to 7 other positionable lights · 24-bit colour palette with adjustable diffuse; ambient; emissive; specular; shininess and transparency · Adjustable 2D and 3D grid guide lines with grid-snap function · Create new surfaces/objects around any selection (Convex hull) · Configurable to use external renderers such as Povray and BMRT - just select Tools->Render to start. · Multi platform program - AC3D file format compatible across platformsAttach URLs to objects for use in VRML files · Attach string data to objects to be used as scripting in Dive or special directives for POV or renderman · Supports many output/input formats including · 3D-studio 3DS · Lightwave · Alias triangle · DXF · VRML1 and 2 and Inventor · Povray · Renderman RIB · Triangles · Direct X · Milkshape · Quake 3 bsp · MD2 · Wavefront OBJ · OFF · stl (ascii) · sof (airfoil) · SMF · T3D · LDRAW .ldr (Lego) · Extrude and revolve 2D lines to make 3D shapes. · scale a selection to a specific size · flip a selection (mirror) about X, Y or Z axis · Remove duplicate vertices and surfaces ('optimize') · Simple documented file formats allow easy conversion from other forms of data - ideal for visualizing your own data in 3D. · Developer SDK.
