Swift 3D is a 3D modeling and animation software application that enables multimedia designers of all levels to quickly create
high-quality 3D animations in the most popular vector, raster, and video file formats. Swift 3D combines powerful, yet easy-to-use
modeling and animation tools with industry-leading vector output and is the only 3D technology to integrate directly with Adobe Flash. Swift 3D also exports scenes to the Papervision3D format.
I don't have 3D design experience. Will it take long for me to
learn Swift 3D?
You'll be cranking out your first 3D animations in minutes with Swift 3D. We
originally created it for people like you and since then we've added more
functionality that lets beginners grow into advanced modeling and animation at
their own pace.
What are the new features in Swift 3D Versions 4, 4.5, and 5?
The biggest new feature in Version 4 is the Advanced Modeling Environment. Version 4.5 is a rendering upgrade that provides video export capabilities, new vector rendering capabilities and the ability to save and load render profiles. Version 5 introduces Papervision3D Export, Mesh Morphing, a New Interface, Render Optimization and more. For an overview of the latest new features, please visit the New Features
Section.
I'm using a previous version of Swift 3D. What has been added to Swift 3D
since?
Please take a look at the following Detailed Feature List to view the new
features across Swift 3D versions.
Swift 3D is unique in that it was originally designed for Adobe Flash designers and
utilizes tools that are familiar to 2D designers, making it easy for anyone to
quickly produce 3D animations. It provides industry-leading vector rendering technology, as well as the ability to export vector styles to video formats. It is also the only 3D technology that integrates directly with Flash.
How do I get my Swift 3D animations into Flash?
If you're using Flash 8 or later, the Swift 3D Importer, which is
automatically installed in Flash at the time you install Swift 3D, allows you to import
the .SWFT files exported from Swift 3D directly into your Flash library. If
you're using Flash 5 or earlier, you can export from Swift 3D to the .SWF
format and import this file into Flash.
What's the difference between Swift 3D, Swift 3D MAX and Swift 3D
LW?
Swift 3D is a standalone application, which means it's the only tool you need
to create your 3D animations. Swift 3D MAX and Swift 3D LW are plug-ins to 3ds
max and LightWave 3D, providing users of these high-end 3D programs with the
same export options that Swift 3D provides.
What is Swift 3D Xpress?
Swift 3D Xpress is an Extension (or Plug-in) for Adobe Flash that allows users
to create 3D animations directly within Flash. Users can either turn 2D objects
from the stage into 3D animations, or import AI or EPS files directly into the
Extension. For a complete product overview visit the Swift
3D Xpress Product Page.
