Touch 3d

New Touch-3D Version 2.1 Released - Now Create Real 3D Models! It includes several new unfold layout functions and much improved import/export filters. This program is only available on the Mac. Introduction Designers have always used models to visualize their ideas. In the past models required craftsmanship and a lot of time consuming manual work. Then along came computers with completely new and exciting sets of applications for computer graphics, computer aided design, 3D modeling and rendering. These programs have great power for creating photo realistic images, having color, surface structure, shadows, and so on but... The problem is that these images remain in the computer and even when they simulate 3D are still only in the 2D world. Designers prefer physical models that they can see, feel and touch. Like a picture is worth a thousand words, one model is like a thousand pictures and can give a much more concrete cognition of an object. This is what Touch-3D is all about. A three dimensional object is first designed on screen and can be unfolded automatically to maximize the use of any building material. Boats, tents, buildings and any 3D object you can imagine is first designed on screen and using the smart unfolding algorithms in the program, unfolded and then printed out. Once printed and cut along the edges, the model can then be folded back together to create the actual physical 3D object. This is a lot quicker, easier and less expensive then carving a wooden model or moulding from plastic or clay and allows for quick changes and updates. Touch-3D is easy to use and comes with a powerful range of drawing and modeling tools, allowing you to create sophisticated 3D models. Experienced Mac users will feel at home right away with the interface and all the tools. Touch-3D compliments other 3D, photo and illustration programs and adds a new dimension to their abilities.
