Flow Architect Studio 3D

Flow Architect Studio 3D is a fully-featured application designed to help you create 3D visualizations.

The user interface is crowded and may seem a bit overwhelming at a first glance, as you don’t know where to get started with the designing process. However, in order to make the most out of every single built-in function, you should rely on the documentation and useful tutorials.

Flow Architect Studio 3D gives users the possibility of creating different projects which may include objects created from scratch or inserted from the application’s library. The primary panel is divided into four graphs which allow users to apply editing capabilities for setting up the geometry of the objects.

What’s more, you can select a background color for the layout, block sides, surfaces, lights, actors, models and many other options. The application enables users to clone, move, rotate, customize the position and size of the selected objects, as well as isolate a three-dimensional area from a map.

Applying background layers can be done by specifying the translation, rotation and scale value for each layer. You can also measure the distance between two points in the map, thanks to its built-in ruler, or use the auto measurement feature.

It is possible to draw convex, non-convex or rectangular blocks and perform different operations, such as cutting the overlapping blocks, merging several blocks into a single one, splitting and moving them. You may add new light points and particle emitters, as well as embed actors by selecting them from a preset list and placing them on the map.

The program provides various materials and models to choose from, that can be customized in terms of site, rotation angle and brightness value. All unnecessary adjustments can be rolled back pretty easily.

It automatically saves the projects at a specified time interval and exports the final visualizations to EXE or O4C file format.

Overall, Flow Architect Studio 3D comes packed with many dedicated parameters for designing 3D visualizations. Unfortunately, the GUI is not intuitive and you may spend some time trying to figure out how this program works.
