Create 3D modeling and animated characters - Anim8or

By Albert | Apr 16, 2008


Anim8or is a 3D modeling and character animation program 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.

Special Features:

  • 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.
  • OpenGL shaders for realistic previews.
  • Scripting language.
  • Plig-ins for parameteric shape and object export.
