New 3D editor "ACVARIUM" -free analog of 3D max!

Hello!

My friends from Pevek ( city in Norht Russuia) Alex Prosvetov presen his New program - new 3D editor free analog of 3D max. The program can export model in FS9/X don't usunig defaumlt microsoft tools ( makemdl...) and don't looking limits makemadl...

On English

 

Hello dear, engineers, filmmakers, developers and designers! Now personally to the developer add-ons for FS? dear, you are tired of losing a whole bunch of time to fit the elements for quite a problem in the compilation of FS? Especially, it concerns the aircraft? Then my program is for you!

Since 2009, leading the development of 3d editor, the name for which arose spontaneously, "Aquarium" Of course we are doing is not a big team of programmers. During all this time until the program was created, technology stepped forward, here on this account to keep up with them. The first release version is planned for December, beta in October, please, who wants to participate in the closed beta test, recorded here. The program will be distributed free of charge. Below is a description of the program and cite a couple of screenshots. Would have done more, but due to limited internet did not, and need to tidy up the interface. The program will be distributed free of charge. Early took part in the "Basis furniture maker" to 6 versions of this may be some similarities with the interface elements.

Externally, the application interface is not much different from the other three-dimensional interface, editors, includes countless customization options of the program: to include the units, the appearance of windows, the language (at this stage includes only Russian and English versions, there are plans to have seven European languages .) For ease of readability, the basic font program Standard Type "B".

If possible, a standard simulation program is at the level of 3D max sample in 2010 and includes the corresponding functions with only a superficial resemblance to similar, in fact, the program incorporated a slightly different logic, as well as a realistic geometry and trigonometry.

Probably in the field of modeling for games, the program gives to their counterparts, but in the gambling area specializing in add-on developers FS and X-plane, implying a direct conversion to the appropriate formats. As for FS, the program using its internal exporter, exporting directly to the files in the formats. Mdl looking for any version of FS (X, 9) you want. Moreover the program allows you to open files of these formats that early was quite problematic. However, it turned out, it opens the files compiled only with her, but to solve this problem, I think. If this file under the FS9 and. Mdl contains Cocpit and Exterior totgda is split into two working fields and compile again, you can connect to a single file. Now forget about the limits of MDL simply did not exist! Solved the problem of the light source by placing it directly on the model. However, the compilation time is still quite large. The model size of 19 000 polygons compiled within 7-8 minutes. However, in general, the program allows you to save simulation time, mainly for flight simulators. Also hoping to use the aircraft manufacturers, in the "Special Tools" is a sub-item "Aircraft" which allows much faster to simulate the aircraft and its parts, than using the basic features. The main advantage of the program that all of its features (specific, basic, professional ...) can be used comprehensively. For example on creating a visual model of the Tu-154 (without texturing and chassis with a compilation) in 3d max took me 15 hours 30 minutes, the "Aquarium" was spent forty minutes of 8:00. More of the same version that was created in 3d max refused to compile the simulator program makemdl. Just select "special tools" includes "Automotive", "Instrument", "Shipbuilding" ... This speeds up the simulation for a particular industry, just repeat that after the creation of special tools, the object can be edited or professional base.

In the animation capabilities not inferior counterparts.

Also in the program include the ability to fully work with two-dimensional drawings (there are very fastidious, size 1024 * 1280 drawing format. Png). The option of withdrawal of the drawings on the basis of three-dimensional model, with the possible divide by cutting sheets (if you can call it so), as well as the use of drawings for the simulation. In the future, plans to introduce the possibility of converting two-dimensional drawings into three-dimensional model.

Also in the program settings you can specify the level of work, now there are three: the "newbie" (in this mode, the program features are the same as in gmax), "amateur" (activate additional options), and "engineer" (includes all options as well as labels in the program are technical terms) to work in this mode certainly need technical education.

As a negative program does not have its own format for storing files, use. OBJ other key it too painful imports / exports, but the question open whether the other-other editors.

The program is tested on Windows XP/7/8 for work in Vista, not tested. Simultaneously being developed for the ARM-processor testing on PDA with Android file. APK of my application for this system weighs about 54 MB (for Windows about 3 GB), but is unlikely to be able to work on old tablets and smartphones.

General requirements I have not brought up, I've already said about the size of the program, but on my laptop with 1GB of RAM and dual-core processor is not slow.

The release is likely to be for the new year.
