Editor's review
This is a software tool that helps create 3D art on the computer.
jalada Sculpture is an easy to use triangle-based model editor for 3D art and animation. The tool has multilevel of undo/redo so that it will be easy for beginning users. If a mistake happens, you can always go back to a known good point and start over. It also includes some 100 models to help the beginners. Some 3D functionality that are useful include skeletal and face based animations, texturing, command-line batch processing, and a plug-in system for adding new model and image filters. Other 3D features included are like select, move, rotate, scale, extrude, turn edge, subdivide, etc. While the tool is meant for developing the models using triangles, you could do editing at lower level with the vertex and face tool. Texturing is also available.
The utility has an integrated scripting engine and comes with standard and extended primitives like spheres, boxes, cylinders, etc. It supports Quake MD2/MD3 format, Milkshape 3D, Wavefront OBJ, Lightwave LWO, AutoCad DXF, and others. The interface is well laid out. Controls are easily accessible. The interface is well laid out. Controls are easily accessible. Experienced users would be quite comfortable with it. This is not for complete beginners either. You need to know the fundamentals of 3D modelling, of course. This is a very good product and if you are looking for a tool like this, this could be it.
