MeshX

MeshX is a 3D modelling application for creating, viewing, editing, and saving DirectX X files.

It can be used to create and edit models for 3D programming, or just to create great 3D art.

Since MeshX uses DirectX for loading and rendering X files, there's no conversion involved, so when you save to file, what you see really is what you get. There are three lights which you can move and adjust, and you can capture the DirectX window to an image file at any time.

MeshX will let you easily view, rotate, move, and scale meshes. You can switch to full screen mode to get a better view, and still move and rotate meshes while in full screen mode. MeshX also will create seven basic shapes, and comes with a compressed library of models, to help get you started. Click the image on the left to see the full size screenshot of MeshX.

MeshX views meshes as solids by default, but its wireframe mode will display the basic mesh without lighting, and allow vertex level editing of the mesh. You can view the materials contained by the mesh, add new materials, and assign materials to selected mesh faces (3D painting, if you will).

There are a few advanced editing functions that allow editing multiple selected faces, or all of the mesh faces, at once. MeshX also has boolean, tesselate, and mirror functions. If you screen capture meshes to image files, then edit with a graphics program, you can create some stunning 3D art.
