bonzai3d 3.0

bonzai3d 3.0 is a new 3D modeler developed by AutoDesSys to fill the demand for a quick, easy, simple, yet geometrically robust approach to 3D, based on design industry essentials and designer requests. bonzai3d 3.0 is aimed at delivering your conceptual design and sketching ideas on the fly while maintaining the option to transform them into accurate and robust models that can be used for construction drawings, smoothly rendered, and manufactured. bonzai3d 3.0 has been created to be easy to use, accurate and powerful, and affordable.

This new update of bonzai3d 3.0 offers over 80 new features including 14 new tools that add functionality for fabrication, 3D printing, NURBS modeling, shape editing, texture mapping and component management. Improvements have been made throughout the interface such as the new Sun Position palette that makes creating shadow and sun studies a breeze. Extensive internal changes have improved the performance throughout bonzai3d 3.0 making it even faster at producing great results.

• New in this version: the Turntable tool that allows to rotate a scene continuously around an axis. This is a useful tool for presenting a 3D model
• New in this version: the Billboard tool generates a special type of object that is a surface rectangle with an image (texture) mapped on it
