2. Applications

• Behemot Graphics Editor is a graphics program which allows to model and render 3D objects and scenes.

3. Examples/Samples

• Images and animations: http://www.behemot.com/images/index.html

4. Functions

• Modeling
• Objects: primitives (box, sphere, cone, cylinder, etc), triangle mesh, NURBS, Bezier surface, CSG, blob, skeleton, and others (Curve: polyline, bezier, NURBS)
• Transformation: translation, rotation, scaling, sweep, intersection, and subtraction
• Editing and manipulations (vertex, edge, face, polygon, curves, objects): customizable vector fields, deformation field and graph,
• Rendering
• Lamp: point and area
• Shading: boundary representation (with Phong interpolation), raytracing
• Materials: Bezier mesh, texture and bump mapping, depth bitmap, layers
• Before and after rendering: antialiasing, preview, convert text to solid objects
• Animation
• Basic: modeling in wireframe or shaded mode, lining objects via a skeleton wire frame to move easily, modify b-rep, blob, and NURBS models
• Advanced: complex modelling and animation through integrated Prolog scripting
• File formats
• Importing file formats: RT, DXF, 3DS
• Exporting file formats: RT, DXF, VRML 1.0, MPEG, BMP
• Editing
• Integrated environment : editor + render.
• Polyline, bezier and NURBS curve editing, extended sweep.
• Deformation field.
• Events to model and animate objects.
• Layers.
• Integrated Prolog language.
