3D modeling is a common and very interesting direction in computer graphics. They begin to deal with it for various reasons and with different intentions. But whatever the goals, perseverance and talent, specialized software is indispensable. A program for modeling is the base through which the user will learn to create masterpieces.
Blender 2.50
It is widely believed that “free cheese only happens in a mousetrap”, which means software that you do not have to pay for - software with a catch. Blender 2.50 is a pleasant exception, because it is a free, but rather good program for modeling.
Perhaps the secret is that this is a program from Linux, the Windows version of which is in no way inferior to the original. And Linux programs, as you know, are always high-quality, accessible and open source.
The other advantages of Linux utilities are inherent in Blender 2.50: it does not take up much space on the computer’s hard drive, does not require a powerful processor, and is generally unpretentious in configuration - it can even work on a weak netbook.
Functional Features
With regard to functional features, everything here is also on the first, and on the second, and on the subsequent views, everything is pretty good: "Blender 2.50" provides a full range of capabilities for three-dimensional modeling, including working with particles, wind simulation, fluid body effects, structuring and deformation of not only hard, but also soft bodies, editing surfaces from curves, and more.
Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that "Blender 2.50" is an excellent choice for those who really want to learn three-dimensional graphics and at the same time do not pay for programs for 3D-modeling. The application interface is not simple: you have to deal with an abundance of functions. However, it's worth it.
3DS Max
3DS Max is a widely used simulation program. It is paid, but it’s easy to find free repacks and even portable versions (that is, those that do not require installation) on the Internet. The latter, by the way, is very well done - it works even on old PCs with Windows XP.
In 3DS Max, you can simulate, in fact, anything, but what it was created for is, of course, architectural modeling. It is very convenient to create projects of future buildings in the program - the possibilities make it possible to "revive" them with the help of lighting, small details, composition. All this is accessible using a clear functional interface.
Due to the prevalence of 3DS Max, it has good support, from time to time updates, modules and plugins are released that allow it to be positioned as the best software on the market. This is an interior modeling program and an application that allows you to create models of volumetric objects, natural landscapes, haircuts and hairstyles - the application is very wide.
"Interior Design 3D 2.31"
Since we are talking about the interior, we can not fail to mention the "Interior Design 3D 2.31". This is a specialized interior modeling program. Its main advantage is its simplicity: in just thirty minutes it is possible to build a model of redevelopment of an apartment, even if the application was launched for the first time.
"Interior Design" is designed specifically for users who do not have a graphic design base or 3D modeling skills - it has a collection (more than one hundred) of materials for decoration and furniture, which allows even a simple layman to use it for its intended purpose, not understanding the little things that he won't need it anymore.
Well, for those who plan to further engage in interior design, the program will be a wonderful starting point, clearly showing what to expect from the chosen specialization. This simulation software is shareware and is provided by AMS Software.
Virtual fashion professional
In addition to interior design, there is also a clothing design for which developers also did not forget to release software. As you can see, programs for 3D modeling have their own specifications, and such giants as 3DSMax or Blender can be used by professionals in any field of three-dimensional design, while utilities of lesser distribution are oriented to one of the areas.
So Virtual Fashion Professional - a program for modeling clothes, which was created for famous fashion designers such as Gucci, Prada and La Perla.
The graphics editor "Virtual Fashion Pro" works with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional models. Creating clothing items is supposed to be step-by-step. Very simple and intuitive interface provides fast and high-quality 2D and 3D modeling.
The list of features includes a wide selection of textures, dressing the model with one click and another.
Marvelous designer
A quality product in the software market is considered Marvelous Designer. This is also a program for modeling clothes. It supports both polylines and drawing with free strokes, curves, seams and so on.
The advantage of Marvelous Designer is its integration with other common applications in the field of three-dimensional design: the 3DSMax, Maya (May), Poser (Poser), Lightwave (LightWave), and others already discussed above. This allows you to complement and modify the simulation. The work program is a package with the possibilities of developing patterns and sewing, fast and accurate drapery, support for many physical properties characteristic of various fabrics, morphing and rendering.
Marvelous Designer ("Marvelous Design" - "Awesome Designer") has a multilingual interface, including Russification, it is compatible with all versions of Windows, starting with XP. Available in versions of Personal (Personal, single-user) and Enterprise (For organizations, multi-user).
