3D program

2006-07-10, 6:18 pm

Hi,

I am looking for a simple application which would allow me to draw 3D solids
and other geometric figures by entering numerical parameters for angles,
curves, distances and so forth. Also, I would like be able to arrange 3D
objects precisely in space. An animation capability would be a definite
plus as well. Does such a program exist? BTW, I am running WXP
Professional.

Thanx in advance,

Andre

Try POV-ray. It is totally free. It has a purely script based
interface which is not too difficult to get you head around and there
is a dedicated news server that is very active.

Animation is easy but it only renders single frames ypou ahve to use a
separate program to join them together.

go to

http://povray.org/

and

http://www.povray.org/resources/newsgroups/

There are many many examples around as well.
