Sun and Sky Backgrounds add More Reality to Your EnvironmentsĪ new background type is available in Design 3D CX7 that will give your projects a real world feel. Match Motion imports camera data from Pixel Farm's PFHoe to create a 3D scene, which matches the motion of a live camera scene. Visual effects artists often use a combination of live action and 3D action, which visually match up to create a realistic scene. Match Motion Brings the Real World and CG World Closer Together The opacity of the grids can be adjusted to behave similar to tracing paper, which allows you to quickly model to proper proportions and accurately locate the components that make up your 3D model. To aid in certain modeling processes, images can now be applied to X,Y, and Z Grids for use as a template. Anisotropy settings are a new addition to the Image Texture controls. An example of Anisotropy is a surface that blurs in a vertical direction, but not in a horizontal direction, such as brushed metals. Unique Surface Realism Through AnisotropyĪnisotropy is an advanced surface property that yields subtle, yet realistic effects to surfaces and reflections. Working with templates is also a great way to learn how to formulate your own 3D scenes. Scene templates include advanced lighting with soft shadows, environments, backgrounds and more, which can all be edited to suit your needs. New 3D scene templates offer designers an easy way to jump start their 3D projects, without beginning in the vacuum of a New Empty Project. It's just one more way that texturing in Design 3D CX7 makes your life easier. Normal Maps can also be used to "fake" lighting details of an object instead of modelling all of the details. In addition to grayscale Bump Maps, Design 3D CX7 ushers in the ability to use Normal Maps for creating realistic surfaces details through the use of an RGB image. It is not new to Design 3D, but version 7 unveils an entirely new Boolean engine that utilizes the same workflow, but produces cleaner, more accurate and reliable results. We all have our own preferences and opinions on what key combinations make sense for certain tasks, so who are we to decide what's right or wrong? Design 3D CX7 allows you to take control and create your own Keyboard Shortcut Sets to match your favourite design programs or you own personal preferences.īoolean Modeling allows you to add, subtract, intersect, and cut 2 different objects to create a new 3D object. Others can tell you every shortcut that's available. Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts Let You Define Your WorkflowĪll graphic designers rely on at least a few keyboard shortcuts in their favourite design programs. When combined with more intuitive mouse interactions and visual feedback, hard edge handling, selection options and new customizable keyboard shortcuts for common modeling tasks, Design 3D CX7 takes one giant step towards modeling bliss. Modeling Evolved with Polygon Editing EnhancementsĪmple improvements to the polygon modeling toolset and workflow include new Flatten, Weld, Unweld, Flip and Save Subset features. Version 7 handles higher oversampling settings, and lower block and threshold settings without loss of speed. Instance Rendering Properties offer control over how an individual object's shadows, caustics, reflections and transparencies are rendered, or whether an object is even displayed at all. Added support for blurry transparency and reflectivity produces stunningly lifelike realism. UV coordinates maintain the relationship between the texture and 3D model, even when the model is further manipulated.ĭesign 3D CX7 establishes rendering superiority with an array of updates that advance overall output quality and speed. UV texture mapping is a technique used to accurately wrap a 2D image texture onto a 3D model, where the image texture can then be stretched, squeezed, and rotated to fit correctly. Design 3D CX7 introduces a powerful new UV Mapping environment that makes exact placement of textures easier and faster than ever.
