Swift 3D is the only 3D application to directly integrate with Adobe Flash and provides unrivalled vector rendering quality and output style options. Swift 3D's toolset and interface allow anyone to quickly create 3D content while providing a full set of advanced tools to grow into. With both vector and video export capabilities, Swift 3D provides the entire motion graphics design industry with a powerful, easy to use 3D solution that delivers high quality results for an affordable price. Features:
· The only 3D technology to offer direct integration with Adobe Flash
· Unrivalled vector rendering quality, speed and output styles
· Powerful, yet easy-to-use 3D toolset built specifically for Flash designers
· The industry-leading 3D Flash tool of choice by over 65,000 designers
· Autocropped and transparent raster Flash renderings for smaller file sizes and seamless Flash integration.
· SmartLayer Technology reduces file size and broadens design possibilities New Upgrade Features in v6:
· 3D Boolean Operations
Expand your modelling possibilities. Boolean operations allow you to combine or punch holes through objects using other 3D objects in your scene. It's all non-destructive, allowing easy editing and unlimited possibilities!
· 5X Faster Raster Rendering Speed
Your time is valuable, and the engineers have been hard at work trying to figure out new ways to speed up the system so you're more productive. The result is a new rendering algorithm for the ray tracer that will render raster 3D images up to 5x faster.
· Advanced Texture Mapper
Mapping complex textures to your 3D models just got a lot easier. By converting a viewport into a 2D representation of your model with the bitmap texture shown in the background, this new interface allows for very precise control over how your bitmap texture gets applied to your models,
· Clones and Arrays
Save time reproducing many of the same 3D objects. Create a clone of an object so that when one object is changed, all of the clones change in the same manner. The secondary step is an array feature that distributes the cloned objects along defined axis with adjustable positioning.
· Background Image Tracing
Easily create 3D objects within the Extrusion and Lathe Editors by tracing a bitmap image in the background. You have full control of the position and transparency level of the background image for detailed tracing.
· Papervision3D 2.0 and Collada Format Support
Is Papervision3D too complex for you? Let Swift 3D v6 do the work for you by creating the PV3D project for you. Swift 3D v6 now exports to the latest Papervision3D v2.0 spec and Collada .dae format, while automatically creating the full Papervision project for you in one simple export.
· Bump Map Textures for More Realism
Bump mapping is a technique to make a rendered surface look more realistic by modelling the interaction of a bumpy surface texture with lights in the environment. Think topo maps on globe.
· Soft Shadow Support
Now you can add that extra photo realism to your raster scenes by rendering soft shadows from area lights. Just adjust how big or small your light is, and the soft shadow adjusts accordingly.
· Extrusion & Lathe Multi-Path Support
Now you can draw multiple unique paths in the Extrusion and Lathe editors, providing separate in-context multiple 3D object creation. Just another way Swift 3D gives you simple yet powerful modelling tools.
· Multiple Processor Rendering Support
Swift 3D can exploit all of the processors available on your system and can make the work simultaneously on the same raster render to provide faster renders. For example, on a multiprocessing platform with 4 processors a user can expect up to a fourfold increase in render performance/speed.
· Cross Platform Serial Numbers
Do you have a Windows PC and a Macintosh? Your Swift 3D v6 serial number is now universal and will work on either platform, giving you the freedom to use Swift 3D on both platforms without the hassle of obtaining an additional serial number or being forced to switch platforms.
· UX Improvements
