1 June 2024. 3D Matrix 1.6 release announced at the Australian Animation and Effects festival in Melbourne Australia. New features include a built-in mathematics language, export to POV-Ray format for ray-tracing, light reflection settings applying at a polygon group level and single key strokes switching between your custom screen configurations.15 April 2024. 3D Matrix 1.5 is now avilable. New features include multiple step undo, XML open file format, integrated help system, object component modeling and JPG file saving. See press release for more details.
About 3D Matrix
The 3D Matrix modeler is fantastic for those building real-time applications such as simulation, interactive animation and games. It functions as a standalone program or as a utility to integrate with your other favourite 3D applications.
3D Matrix allows three-point polygons and vertexes to be conveniently added, selected and manipulated using a variety of unique and highly effective tools.
The Geometry window allows you to produce mathematical objects. You can manipulate their vertexes and forge useful structures that can be exported to your favourite 3D application or to a raw format for direct use within code.
Fly the camera around your object using familiar flight-simulator controls and view your model under a variety of practical rendering options. 3D Matrix is the super-easy super-powerful tool for creating 3D models from directional polygons.
3D Matrix works under Iris Silicon Graphics, Mac OS X, Red Hat Linux, Solaris and Windows 98/NT/2000/XP.
