Description
3D Message is an easy-to-use, parametric CAD tool for everyday communications. It is an ideal helper for anyone who likes to illustrate an idea or an explanation easily and quickly by 3D drawing.
The user interface is very friendly and intuitive. In a few minutes, you can compose a scene, populate it with objects, change object dimensions, location, orientation, colors, and reflectivities. You can also apply textures to objects' surfaces. After all these transformations, you can save the scene in a file.
The scene files are amazingly small (only a few kilobytes). You can send them by email. Your recipients do not need to buy any product to read your 3D messages -- they can use the Trial version as a free viewer to view your scenes.
3D Message is a stand-alone tool. It does not depend on any other applications or any third-party packages.
Note: 3D Message displays shadows only on the flat landscape but not on objects. Other shadow effects are available in other products of the Shadow Analyzer Collection.
