Form-Z

Modeling features include Boolean solids to generate complex composite objects; the ability to create curved surfaces from splines, including NURBS and Bézier/Coons patches; mechanical and organic forms using the previous as well as metaforms, patches, subdivisions, displacements, or skinning, plus tools such as Terrain models, Platonic solids, geodesic spheres, double line/wall objects, staircases, helixes, screws, and bolts.

Technical output oriented modeling allows to refine the design with double precision CAD accuracy to full structural detail for 3D visualization for the production of 2D construction drawings, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and CNC milling.

A surface style is defined by up to four layers of shaders, which produce color, reflections, transparency, and bump effects.

Once the materials are established, the plugin transfers the scene including objects, lights and the viewing parameters to Maxwell for rendering.

Once the materials are established, the plugin transfers the scene including objects, lights interactive or progressive rendering.
