Default AC3D 7.3 Out Now!



Available now for Windows, Mac and Linux! 7.3 includes a number of fixes and additions, including:

Enhanced Tools->Hierarchy functionality
It’s now easier to manage large hierarchies of objects with the new Duplicate function. This will duplicate an object (and any of its children) in place. We’ve also added the ability to edit an object name, even if the object is deep inside a structure, with the new Edit Name/Data menu function.

OpenGL Display List Export
For graphics developers, there’s now an AC3D exporter which generates your 3D model as C code for insertion into a program to be used as an OpenGL display list. This can be found in the menu File->Export-Opengl-Display-List.

Blocky textures
Some designers requested the ability for AC3D to display blocky textures (similar to Minecraft), rather than smooth, which is AC3D’s default. (This is done by changing OpenGL MipMapping settings).



This is currently an experimental function and is activated by adding a small script into the AC3D ‘scripts’ folder.

For more details, see the AC3D forum.

See a real sword – made with AC3D!

Check out Edymnion’s excellent thread in which he takes you through the process of designing a sword with AC3D, to the 3D printing and then the actual sword being held aloft!
