AC3D

3D graphics rendering app.

AC3DOverview

AC3D is used to create 3D models for games; virtual-reality/simulation software; scientific, medical, and general-data visualizations; high-resolution 3D renderings and rapid prototyping of 3D designs. Features include a simple click-and-drag user interface; Texture co-ordinate editor(UV Mapper);powerful boolean functions; unlimited polygon and line editing down to the vertex level; subdivision surface modeling; Boolean operations;and a TrueType font 2D and 3D text generator.

The software supports many 3D file formats including POV-Ray, VRML, RenderMan, 3D Studio, LightWave, DXF, OBJ, DirectX, MilkShape, MD2, Quake BSP, Unreal Tournament T3D, and more.

  • Fill Holes - Automatically fill holes with menu Object->Fill Holes. This seeks out open areas in a 3D object and automatically fills them with new surfaces.
  • Unify Normals - Previously it could be time-consuming ensuring that all surfaces face in the right direction. This new function automatically orients surfaces so that you can quickly ensure that all surfaces face outwards.
  • Hierarchy enhancements - In the Tools->Hierarchy, right-clicking on a '+' button will now open a group, AND all its children.
  • Object state is now saved - f an object is hidden, locked or folded (in the hierarchy), this state is now saved in AC3D .ac files. This means that if you save a model with some of the hierarchy folded, locked or hidden, the state will be retained when the file is next loaded.
  • Easier searching - Edit->Select-by-name now accepts wild cards so you can search using * and ?, where * matches any characters, ? matches a single character.
  • STL files reoriented - Objects loaded from STL files are automatically reoriented (rotated to AC3D's coordinate system) on import and export. (i.e from Z=up to Y=up). If you're working with a lot of STL files, you needn't worry about having to rotate objects.
  • Other changes include - improved Collada export and KML (Google-Earth export), fixes and compatibility improvements.
