Anim8or is a character animation and 3D modeling application that I have written over the past couple of years, not as a commercial endeavor, but because I love 3D graphics, animation and programming.
While it is far from a complete professional level application like 3DStudio MAX or Lightwave, I believe that it has enough capability to be of use to others.
Here are some key features of "Anim8or":
· 3D Modeler - Create and modify 3D models. Built-in primitives such as spheres, cylinders, platonic solids, etc.; mesh-edit and subdivision; splines, extrusion, lathing, modifiers, bevel and warps,
· TrueType font support - 2D and 3D extruded text for any TrueType font.
· OpenGL based real time operation,
· Import and modify .3DS (3D Studio), .LWO (Lightwave), and .OBJ (Wavefront) object files,
· Export .3DS files,
· Built in 3D Object browser,
· Jointed character editor,
· Morph targets,
· Anti-aliased software renderer for high quality, production quality images,
· Create 3D scenes and animations and output .AVI movie files, .JPG and .BMP images,
· Supports textures, bump maps, soft shadows, spotlights, fog, and much more,
· Texture support for .BMP, .GIF, and .JPG format files,
· Print images of scenes and models.
