The great thing about 3D Toolbox is that it can be as simple or as complex as you require. If you just want to open, edit, print and navigate your 3D files then the free version is ideal, however if you require a more powerful 3D CAD product you can upgrade to the Standard version for just $15.00£9.00. €12.00 For more info on the Standard version simply select it from the navigation on the right hand side of this webpage.
*Important* - You must download the free version before you can upgrade it to the Standard version
Amongst other things the free version enables you to. . .
The standard upgrade:
Now purchase a serial number for just $15.00£9.00€12.00, and gain the ability to save files and export high resolution images, as a bonus we will also give you the 'Library Viewer' application for free. This gives you drag and drop access to your 3D models and the thousands of 3D furniture items and accessories that come with our interior design software via our 3D user area - 3d.microspot.co.uk
Let the building begin:
Then comes the exciting part, once you have the standard version you have a choice of 8 add on packs (details on the right hand side of this page) that can be purchased separately giving you complete control over how your application is built. So you only buy what you need, simple!
Light and Render Pack
Add and adjust point lights, spot lights, sun and ambient brightness and choose from three different renderers including a raytrace renderer.
Texture Pack
Add textures to items or surfaces then adjust the size position and rotation of the texture. Move attributes from one object to another.
The 'Attribute' tool is used to change an objects transparency, surface color, reflective color, gloss and renderer brightness, simply by clicking on the object. Random values or values copied from other objects can be applied.
Camera and Alignment Pack
Contains 4 palettes for aligning objects, aligning the camera and nudging objects into place.
Tripod gives you controls like a real camera with pan, crab, tilt and zoom and the palette also allows you to set perspective or orthographic views.
Animation Pack
All you need to set up the tweens for your animations and export them to a QuickTime movie. You can animate the camera, objects and lights including the sun. You may need the light and render pack for best results.
The Animation Edit Path Tool brings up a palette which controls the position scale or twist of the points on the path and you can change it to be a line arc or curve.
The Animation Path Palette controls the behavior of the object or camera or viewpoint that moves on the path and creates the tween points.
The menu item Export Movie is added to the file menu so the animation can be run with whichever renderer you choose and the resulting movie saved in QuickTime format.
Basic Modeler Pack
Consists of 8 Tools for primitive shapes:- cube, sphere, cone, pyramid, regular polygon, cylinder, irregular polygon and torus.
If you option click the Pyramid and Regular Polygon tools you can input the number of sides you want them to have and the Torus tool to set the hole to shape ratio.
The objects can be resized exactly, colored or textured, made transparent and more using the 'Info' Palette.
Advanced Modeler Pack 1
This pack comes with a palette to control Boolean operations and tools for editing the path of an object, a shear tool and a 3D text tool.
The Shear Tool applies handles to the center of the bounding rectangle and allow you to drag the surface and distort the shape.
The Edit Path Tool brings up a dialog that controls the position scale and twist of the path of an object. With this facility you can make coils, screw threads and change the size of objects along their path.
The Construct palette allows you to control Boolean operations on objects which intersect. The objects can be adjusted until the right correct result is obtained and then the operation can be made permanent. The single resulting object can be edited like any other.
Advanced Modeler Pack 2
Comprises a lathe tool and a palette to adjust the section of lathed objects, aA pipe drawing tool and more.
Another powerful tool is the pipe tool. The size of the pipe and the radius of its bends can be set before drawing. It can be drawn with straight lines arcs and curves. The path can be edited later with the Edit Path Tool (Advanced Modeler Pack 1) and the section of the pipe can also be edited with the Section Palette.
Wall Tools Pack
Wall drawing tools, menu items for adding floors and ceilings and a palette for identifying objects that are to be doors and windows and fit themselves into walls. There is also a palette for the precise positioning of windows and doors.
Before drawing, the default wall thickness and height may be set. When drawing individual pieces of wall the start height and end height can be set and the angle of the wall by entering precise values.
Once the walls are drawn ceilings and floors can be added.
The Windows and Doors Palette controls the precise positioning of these objects in the wall.
This pack also includes the tag palette to allow you to create objects that have the characteristics of doors and windows which fit into walls and cut holes to sit in.
