K-3D Description

K-3D is a 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system. K-3D is the free-as-in-freedom 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system for GNU / Linux, Posix, and Win32 operating systems. K-3D features a robust, object-oriented plugin architecture, designed to scale to the needs of professional artists, and is designed from-the-ground-up to generate motion-picture-quality animation using RenderMan-compliant render engines. We strongly recommend the Aqsis render engine for use with K-3D.K-3D's innovative interactive tutorial system will introduce you to basic use of the program. New tutorials can easily be recorded and shared with the rest of the community.K-3D allows you to create and edit documents in multiple realtime OpenGL solid, shaded, texture-mapped views. You can even model, animate, and interact with animations while they play back for maximum productivity! Here are some key features of "K-3D": · Camera: pan/tilt, zoom, dolly, modeling and tripod modes. · Viewing Modes: Detailed selection of visible features. · Hide / unhide geometry. · Powerful scene graph procedual modeling with complete modeling history. · Selection: Objects, meshes, faces, edges, patched, curves, point groups, point. · Geometry types: Polygon, NURBS, subdivision, blobby. · 3D Primitives: Cone, circle, cushion, cylinder, disk, grid, paraboloid, polyhedon, sphere, torus. · Boolean modeling operations. · Text: FreeType? support. · Instantiation: Create duplicates without adding gemometry to the scene. · Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) allows arbitrary dataflow - any object property can be connected to any other compatible property. · Animate any value. · Unlimited number of animation channels. · Bezier curve channels. · Animate modeling operations. · Textures with 16-bit float bitdepth. · Procedual RenderMan shaders. · Full RenderMan Support: Aqsis, Pixie, BMRT, PRman, 3Delight, Render Dot C. · Extensible support for alternate render engines and models: YafRay. · Render OpenGL previews to disk. · Python engine (preferred for new script development). · K3DScript engine (minimal scripting engine for tutorials / macros). · JavaScript engine (legacy script engine). · Support for alternate script engine plugins and environments. · Basic 2D compositing. · Bitdepth 16-bit float per channel. · Geometry Formats: AC3D, ASCII Scene Export, Apple QuickDraw?3D, AutoCad, Ayam, DirectX?, GNU Triangulated Surfaces, Quake II, PDB, RenderMan Interface Bytestream, VRML, Wavefront ... (some of them depend on PLIB installation) Image Formats: · JPEG (all platforms). · PNG (all platforms). · TIFF (all platforms). · OpenEXR (requires optional OpenEXR plugin). · BMP (requires optional ImageMagick? plugin). · SUN (requires optional ImageMagick? plugin).
