pplications

Amapi 3D is a fast, powrful and versatile NURBS modeler, simplifies the creation and editing of complex geometric shapes by offering a large selection of advanced tools.
A complete 3D solution for modeling, shading, scene building, basic animation, hybrid raytraced and cartoon rendering.

Modeling

<>Object catalog: display a specified directory through the catalog, get projects information (modification date, size), create and manage bookmarks
<>Global deformers - taper, bend, twist, interpolation smoothing on polygonal curves, chaikin smoothing on polygonal curves, cubic smoothing on polygonal curves, breaks and tensions control of smoothing
<>Spherical deformation, mold (smooth deformation), wrap an object, stretch points, snap a part of the object to a specific location, merge points, edit tangents on NURBS curvs, delete points / edges / facets
<>Global and local Bezier smoothing, doo, catmul smoothing, loop, butterrfly , approximation smoothing on polygonal, curves, rectangular / triangular / diamond-shaped tessellation, polygon reduction, cut by plane, extract parts of curves and surface, boolean operation between and surfaces or volumes, radius / tessellation / angle control of chamfers, chamfers on points of a polyline, chamfer on points and edges of a mesh
<>Genrates smooth rounded filled on edges, vertex, polygon, corners or shape intersections
<>Model rounded, natural organic shapes by creating a mesh over a set of an unlimitied number of connected curves.

Rendering

<>Cameras: move, change, set, create, specify the field of vision - global paremeters of rendering (define, saving, render, select, anti-aliasing)
<>Light: set the quality of the shadow, the shading area, noise of the shadow, specify a light color, creation of a bulb light, sun light, spot light, change the light source name, light source type, specify direction of the beam of light, area of decreasing light propagation
<>Dynamic Geometry: Amapi 3D construct history of complex surfaces. Which allows the user to dynamically edit an object by acting on its outline, profile or its basic structure. Transformation a vase into a flower of bottle, controling the facial expressions of characters, modify the dimemsions of an industrial object Amapi works with a large number of tools.
<>Color ramp--shaded breakpoints in the color ramp, change color of a breakpoint, manage the balance for the each breakpoint of the colormap, browse the list of the color ramps (select, add, delete a color ramp from the list)
<>Decimation reduces the density of complex meshes while preserving their key data points and polygons. This feature create model with varying levels, reduced file size
<>Texture-layer, wood, marble, checker, grid, brick, radial, smooth, ramp radial, noise ramp; replace: mix, add, subtract, light, darker, multiply
<>Material editor: display a preview of the entire scene, save / recall / delete a point of view, preview preferences (ray, tracing, shadows display)
<>3Space and the rendering--materials: uniform zero level layer (ambient color, difuse color, shininess, transparency, reflection)
<>Rendering parameters: background image, Environment, snap an object to specific location, lay out a facet of an object onto te facet of another object
<>Primitives: sphere and Geodesic spheres (polygonal of NURBS), Ellipsoid, super-ellepsoid, cube and parallelepiped, cylinder, cone, platonic solids, tetrahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron, grid, height fields

Amination

<>Create an animation on a recording tape: create, modify, copy, reproduce delete, convert, move and / or deform the object to be animated (move, rotate, scale, deform, mold, stretch, bend)
<>Play an animation: preview, play, stop, choose if the animation is playing in loop
<>Animation parameters: set the size, number, image, exprot file, record an animation AVI (Windows) QuickTime (Mac)
