Modeling
- Collision Detection
trueSpace3 uses accurate real time collision detection to position
objects easily and precisely, even in perspective space. Use the Magnetic
tool to combine objects just by colliding and sliding along surfaces.
Or simply roll an object along any surface without losing contact.
That’s total control.
- Live Skin
Organic modeling is taken to an all time high. Real time metaballs
allow you to see the skin of an organic animal deform in real time
as you move any metaball particle around. With Live Skin you get realistic
natural objects faster than ever before.
- PlastiForm
Until now, particles have been for animation only. PlastiForm gives
you a ‘hot’ engraving tool to generate new surface particles.
This tool pushes surfaces and forces them to expand and deform, conforming
to the tool's shape. This is modeling taken to the next level.
Animation
Animation is more interactive then ever before
with seamlessly integrated Key-Framing, Collision Detection, Dynamics,
Inverse Kinematics, and Metaballs. Animation to the limits of your imagination.
And beyond.
- Physics
Give objects properties of real materials like wood or rubber with
weight, elasticity, torque and velocity. Apply gravity, wind and other
forces. Then just click ‘Play’ to see objects fall with
gravity, slow down from atmospheric density and collide with each
other. You can animate a leaf dancing in the wind simply by dropping
it.
- Inverse Kinematics
Manipulate a figure simply by shaking its hand. Or animate walking
by key-framing the figure's footsteps. Inverse Kinematics is integrated
with Dynamics -- including degrees of stiffness for each joint. Animate
complex behavior with global actions, so you don’t have to manually
manipulate each individual object. Create and edit joints with direct
manipulation – without opening one dialog box!
Rendering
- 3D Paint
Paint textures or bumps directly on objects in 3D. You won’t
have to spend hundreds on a separate 3D paint package, and you won’t
have the hassle of switching between two separate programs –
it’s all in the same workspace with trueSpace3!
- Direct 3D Support
Manipulate solid objects including lights and textures using software
or hardware acceleration. All in real time. The direct manipulation
design of trueSpace3 accelerates all aspects of your work.
trueSpace3 works like you work
- Constant Frame Rate
Constant Frame Rate maintains smooth motion in editing or navigation,
regardless of the scene’s complexity. Your interaction with your
work never gets interrupted.
- 3D Plug-Ins
trueSpace3 can grow according to your needs. trueSpace3 uses 32bit
Adobe compatible plug-ins and includes free 3D eXtensions like Particle
Fountain, Primitives Plus, and TrueView. And new trueSpace3 plug-ins
are on their way for even more specialized effects.
- 3D Guides
Tool Guides explain each trueSpace3 tool just by clicking. You’ll
get a full 3D simulation tutorial. Task oriented tutorials teach you
how to build a building, spaceship or realistic animal. So you’ll
be productive. Right now.
- Universal Authoring
Output to any medium, including Paper, Film, Video, AVI, HTML, or
VRML without the need for translation filters. You won’t need
to use external applications. You get an abundance of tools and the
ability to publish in multiple media, all in the same workspace.
- 3D Sound
Attach audio to any 3D object with true positional 3D sound, attenuation
and Doppler effect. trueSpace3 creates more realistic environments
with navigation by sound, making your world a more sensory experience.
The Web
trueSpace3 seamlessly integrates Web functionality.
You avoid programming, using friendly modeling and animation tools to
create complex 3D Graphics, VRML objects and fully animated worlds.
- Integrated VRML 1.0 Browser with Publishing
Navigate to any VRML site, 1.0 edit, and save the changes with one
button push using the Publish feature. All without leaving trueSpace3.
- In-lining, LOD and Polygon Reduction
Download only visible portions of VRML sites, and display objects
with detail based on the distance from the viewer. Create several
levels of detail for any object with the touch o f a button. So even
large worlds will navigate smoothly.
