Free Subdivision 3D-Modeling Software : WINGS 3D !

Wings 3D (Latest Stable Rel: 0.98.32a) - Free Subdivision 3D-Modeling Software

- Wings 3D is a free, open source poly modeler that was originally inspired by Nendo and later Mirai (both by Izware). Once learnt, its clean, no-frills interface and wide-ranging (but unbloated!) toolset lets the user concentrate on their prime purpose - modelling.It is possible to assign materials, vertex color, UV coordinates and textures, but there will be improvements in those features before Wings goes 1.0. Also user can use yafRay for realistic rendering.There is no support in Wings for doing animations. Wings 3D can export 3d models in Nendo (NDO), 3D Studio (3DS) , Wavefront (OBJ) and other popular formats.

Swift 3D Max Renderer Review
- Electric Rain's Swift 3D Max review on metinSeven.Com !Vector graphics have always been a separate category in the field of two -dimensional graphics.While bitmap graphics can show a lot of detail, the absolute pixel nature of bitmap makes it limited by its resolution.Swift 3D plugins allow 3ds max users to render their 3D scenes as high-quality, low-bandwidth vector or raster Flash animations viewable by more than 97% of the entire Web audience. Powered by the industry-leading RAViX 4 vector rendering technology, Swift 3D plug-ins offer superior integration with Flash and unrivaled vector output.

Pro Booleans for 3ds Max is a reliable, production-proven modeling tool that lets you quickly model inorganic shapes. Integrate and automate Pro Booleans functionality into your production pipeline with robust MAXScript support.The Pro Booleans Extension adds extra intelligence to the process of performing Boolean operations. First it combines topologies, determines co-planar triangles, and removes incident edges from your mesh. Next, it performs the Boolean operation on N-Sided polygons - not triangles. Once the Boolean operations are complete, the mesh is re-triangulated and its co-planar edges remain hidden. This provides clean, high-quality meshes with fewer small edges and skinny triangles.

3DS Max 8 Review ( From production houses Angle)

3DS Max 8 Review ( From production houses point of view)

- Here we are again, at the time where a new version of software is released. Where production companies want to know whether the new features are worth the trouble of upgrading. Is it stable? Is it backward compatible? Will plug ins have to be upgraded? Will it blowup my network in the middle of a project? And in this case, with Autodesk's 3ds max 8, will it make it to version 9, or are we going to be looking at 3D Studio Maya v1? This last question is something that both Max users AND Maya users should be thinking about – and one that hopefully Autodesk will adequately answer in the next few months.But...let's avoid the future for a moment, so that we can focus on the here and now…and look at the newest developments in Max 8. I'm just going to step through the New Enhancement docs and give you my insights – which I know...............Read Full Review!!
