Creates 3D models on a base grid with more than 30 shapes and different colours. Rotates the desktop in the three-dimensional space and saves the models after login. All saved models are published on the web and are subject to the Creative Commons licence; to create private objects you need Premium Access, for which there is a charge.
Converts 3D models into POV-Ray scenes, Moray objects or Wavefront models, and uses an OpenGL API to display a 3D preview. Also supports Poser and DAZ Studio scenes.
Heightmap-based real-time terrain editor and landscape drawing program with freely configurable brushes. This classic 2D graphics program is intended to be combined with 3D content generation. With ArtPad support and WYSIWYG modification. Supports Ogre3D.mesh and offers freely definable object attributes.
This tool generates horizontal and vertical cross-sections of 3D models whose outlines are then split among standard format squares to save space. In addition to the limited web service, a Mac OS X version is available.
This modelling tool uses the WYSWYG principle to create 3D landscapes; it includes a wizard, supports BMP textures and exports projects in DirectX file format.
Determines camera positions for generating 3D scenes from sequences of images. A useful tool for film productions, 3D reconstructions or video coding. The parameters it determines can be exported to 3D animation packages.
CAD software with functions, commands and user interface similar to AutoCAD. Reads and writes DWG, DXF and PDF files. Standard and Professional versions available as well as a free Smart! version with limited functions for private use.
3D software designed for non-commercial use that provides all the critical functions, such as modelling, animation, rendering and scripting. Also available as an extended HD version. Download requires a valid email address.
Simple polygon modeller that can handle all the basic functions such as select, move, rotate, scale and split, and permits low-level processing with the Vertex and Face tools. .
Creates 3D models, animations and effects, and is operated by means of the user interface and two integrated script languages. Registration is required to download, and an email address must be provided.
3D CAD software based on dynamic modelling technology to assist with construction and design tasks. Allows 'history-free' construction of 3D models with up to 60 parts. Registration with the vendor is necessary for download.
Helps with the creation of three dimensional floor plans for homes and buildings. 'Ready made' objects such as walls, doors, windows or staircases make it easy to get started. Download requires online registration.
Modular 3D graphic suite for modelling, rendering, texturing, lighting and animating graphics and animations. Demo download requires you to submit personal information.
Simple 3D modeller for home users. Adds colours and textures to the models. Freeware version only exports to bitmap formats. An advanced pro version is available at a cost.
