formZ is a general purpose 3D modeler, which combines surface and solids modeling, and includes drafting and rendering, all in a single integrated package. Its users come from all design fields, including illustrators, animators, movie makers, special effects designers, architects, urban designers, landscape architects, interior designers, product and industrial designers, engineers, and even attorneys and doctors.
formZ offers an extensive set of 2D/3D form manipulating and sculpting tools that are accessed through a highly interactive interface. These tools make it possible to easily create any form, real or imagined.
With about thirty continuously updated import/export formats, formZ has traditionally been recommended as the modeling complement to many rendering and animation programs on all platforms.
formZ RenderZone includes all of the modeling features found in formZ plus advanced rendering based on the LightWorks rendering engine. This allows the user to complete a project without ever leaving formZ.
RenderZone offers seven levels of rendering that include z-buffer and raytracing. It uses state of the art shader technology, and offers both procedural and precaptured textures mapped on objects through five different methods. It offers smooth shading and highlights, multiple lights of three different types that can even glow, both hard and soft shadows, cubic and spherical environment mapping, accurate reflections and transparencies, backgrounds and depth effects, decals, and many other rendering effects that are produced at impressive speeds.
RadioZity represents the most photorealistic and accurate method for simulating light, especially for interiors. A special version of formZ, it incorporates all of the features found in formZ RenderZone plus the LightWorks radiosity library. A direct format translator to LightScape, a stand alone radiosity application, is also provided.
Beginning with v 4.0 plugins are available for formZ. These additional features that are avaliable at an added cost. Call our sales department for pricing information.
