3D Canvas is a real-time 3D modeling and animation program that incorporates an intuitive drag-and-drop approach to 3D modeling.

You can construct complex models from simple 3D primitives, or create new ones using 3D Canvas Object Building Tools.

Modeling tools are provided to deform, sculpt, and paint 3D objects. Creating an animated scene is as simple as positioning the objects within your scene for each point in time in your animation.

3D Canvas will ensure that the resulting animation runs smoothly. No complicated scene timelines are required. Your animation can be stepped through a frame at a time, viewed in real-time, or recorded to a Video (AVI) file so that you can distribute your creation.

Tool roll-up groups allow you to customize the 3D Canvas interface so that only those items you use most frequently are visible. Since 3D Canvas imports many popular 3D file formats, many of the public domain 3D models available on the Internet can be incorporated in your scenes.
