+
Texture Mapping
Apply textures to your models for realistic rendering
+
Animation
Animate objects using a skeleton-based approach
+
Procedural Textures
Design custom textures and materials using a graphical language
+
Rendering
Generate still images and animations from your 3D scenes
+
STL Export
Export models for 3D printing in STL format
-
Learning Curve
The user interface can be overwhelming for beginners. It takes time to grasp the software’s features.
-
Real-Time Collaboration
Lack of collaborative features for team projects.
-
Resource-Intensive
May demand substantial system resources. Complex scenes can take longer to render compared to some high-end 3D software.
-
Limited Animation Features
primarily focuses on creating still images. Animation features are present but may be less robust than dedicated animation software. Rigging tools are not included.
-
Export File Format
uses its own file format (.aic). Compatibility with other 3D software may require exporting to a different format, potentially causing loss of information.
-
Limited Texturing Tools
Compared to some software, texture mapping features may be considered basic.
-
No Built-In Asset Library
Users must create or import assets.
