“Subdivision modeler for creating 3D animations”

by Nick Mead about Wings 3D

Wings 3D is a tool specifically designed to import and modify models through subdivision - a polygonal modeling technique that allows very well-defined polygons.

The program itself does not include tools to create it's own from scratch. Basically, Wings 3D can import models created by other design environments (such as 3D Studio, Adobe Illustrator or LightWave) into polygonal meshes and then develop them through subdivision polygons. It also includes a series of tools that will help you allocate materials, textures and UV coordinates to your models, add lights to the scene and perform screenshots among other possibilities.

Note that if you're not familiar with 3D modelling and polygon designs, you'll find this program a complete mystery. Even for those well versed, it's a complex little program but fortunately, there's an extensive tutorial on the developer site that takes you from your initial import to your first modelling attempts.

A powerful program that will be of interest to serious designers using 3D Studio, Adobe products or Lightwave.

Pros
  • Imports from most major design apps
  • Features extensive tutorial
Cons
  • Complicated to understand
  • Only imports models - does not create them

Developer's description

Wings 3D is a subdivision modeler inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware. Note that it is not designed to create 3D models - only importing and then creating polygons from most major design programs.

It is possible to assign materials, vertex color, UV coordinates and textures, but there will be improvements in those features before Wings goes 1.0. There is no support in Wings for doing animations.

    It is pretty obvious Nick has no idea what he's talking about.

    Not only is it possible to create a model from scratch in Wings 3D: it is also fun as hell.

    This little piece of software is... More
