3D Rad v6.29 Released
Posted by:
Steve at 5:06:03 pm
|
This new version of 3D Rad let's you attach rigid-body objects to individual bones of animated 3d characters. This powerful new feature makes interaction between standard animations and the physics environment possible. For example, now you can make an animated soccer player mesh actually kick a ball!
This new release also brings important updates to the compiler, new powerful script functions and critical bug fixing. 3D Rad is a user-friendly 3d editor with a straightforward developing workflow. You can use it to create any sort of stand-alone, interactive 3d project for Windows Vista/XP. Ideal for CG artists and non-coders, but flexible enough to meet the needs of expert developers as well. A fully featured 30-day trial of 3D Rad can be downloaded at the 3D Rad website.
