Tapfheim, Germany – MW3D-Solutions today is thrilled to announce Cheetah3D 7.1, an update to its popular, professional level 3D modeling solution for macOS. Developed from the ground up utilizing the latest Cocoa technologies, Cheetah3D is a lean, fast, and elegant 3D modeling, rendering, and animation package with an easy learning curve.
Perfect for graphic designers, architects and casual users alike, Cheetah3D provides the most useful features needed to get the job done, and organizes them within a beautifully elegant user-interface that is powerful, intuitive and quick to work with. It offers many powerful tools, like subdivision surface modelling, joint based character animation system, UV unwrapping, texture painting, rigid and soft body dynamics, PDF import, global illumination renderer, and much more. The possibility to extend Cheetah3D with JavaScripts and support for many common file formats, like FBX, 3DS or Collada, rounds out its feature set.
After a smooth rollout of Cheetah3D 7.0 two months ago many powerful new features like polygon reduction, a loft modelling object and a vastly improved text spline object been added. Users with limited amounts of RAM will be happy to hear that the renderer is using considerably less memory with Cheetah3D 7.1 which allows even more complex and realistic scenes.
