Texturing Features "What if" is as simple as drag-and-drop in Strata Design 3D CX 8.1 for Win.
Even if you've never booted it up, you already know how to use it. And it takes a simple approach to controlling animation: keyframes, a timeline, and scripting. Animation Features Strata Design 3D CX 8.1 for Win takes a simple approach to animation: Everything can be animated. Rendering Features The core of what makes Strata Design 3D CX 8.1 for Win so good – and what it's famous for – is the high quality rendering. With Lua you can script shaders and textures to: access the rendering pipeline lens scripting for the creation of custom lenses, effects and warps Filter FX which allows you to write custom Lua scripts to apply filters based on an object's surface normal, direction, lighting, volume, and by pixel color, depth, transparency, layer within the psd file – and much, much more. Scripting Features Strata Design 3D CX 8.1 for Win includes a Lua based scripting language. Special Effects Features Spice up your images and animations with special effects like Lens Flare, Auras, Particles – and the new Script FX. Lighting Features Design 3D gives you point lights, spotlights, global sun-style lights, environment based lightdomes, High Dynamic Range Image lighting, glowing surfaces, gels – all unlimited and fully controllable. Environment Features Enjoy many options and an easy to use interface to control your "environment". OpenGL gives you quick previews while LiveRay gives you photo-real previews.
Modeling Features Model using familiar Bezier splines, but now in 3D: traditional polys- but now with Quad Polysplines (subdivision surfaces) MetaSurfaces to meld objects together Extrude and Lathe Boolean to combine or subtract: Skin Mirror and more! View Features Examine artwork from any angle with split-able views, connected views, multiple views, depth cueing and even special views for cameras and light sources.
