* Light types: Point lights, spotlights (both with editable radii), and directional lights * Global illumination methods: Monte carlo, photon mapping with final gathering, direct photon mapping, and ambient occlusion * Global illumination rendering, along with caustics and subsurface scattering * Adjustable index of refraction, scattering, eccentricity * Environment background can be mapped with any photo (HDR or RGB), as well as procedural textures * Animate textures via texture parameters and use of Time module * Procedural textures can be based on parameters like view angle (for fresnel-like effects), etc. * Graphical language for procedural texture/material design * Per-vertex, per-face and per-face-per-vertex texture assignment (depending on textured object) * Mapping options: Projection, spherical, cylindrical, UV * Types: Uniform, image mapped, procedural 2D and 3D * Animation through scripted objects, e.g. * Keyframe editor with interpolating curves * Skeletal animation with weighting, constraints and IK
* Distortion tracks for effects like bend, twist, and shatter * Isosurface modeling (via procedural nodes or direct numeric input) * Object array tool (multidimensional arrays or arrays along a curve) * Mesh editor featuring adjustable mesh tension, bevel, taper, various selection methods (including select edge loop/strip), etc. * Subdivision surfaces (smoothing) with edge creasing available for triangle meshes. * Lathe, sweep, extrude (straight or along a curve) * Primitives: cube, sphere, cone, tube, curve, triangle mesh, spline mesh * Grid view and realtime display modes including Wireframe, Smooth, Textured
#Art of illusion software update#
* Extensions available as scripts or plugins with automated installation and update from online repository (requires internet connection) * Built-in "live help" chat client for connecting to the freenode Art of Illusion support channel * Bundled documentation and help interface * Object list, scene layout windows, and animation score Some of its features, like the use of online repositories and a built-in downloading tool for installing extensions, are not found in similar proprietary software. Though its interface is simple, Art of Illusion contains many features found in high-end graphics software.
#Art of illusion software software#
The goal of Art of Illusion is to provide powerful 3D modeling tools with a user interface that improves on those found in other 3D software packages. Art of Illusion is an advanced 3D modeling, texturing, ray tracing, and rendering package for computer generated imagery stills or animations and movies.
