solidThinking

The most advanced modeling tools and the numerous construction aids (alignment tool, tangency control, and snaps) enable you to create any shape you can think of. solidThinking offers the most complete set of surface creation tools of any modeling program available on Win and Mac platforms, including sophisticated tools like curves network, n-side, blending, fillet, surface intersections, automatic boolean operations, interactive trimming of surfaces, rebuild of curves and surfaces and many many others.

All industry-leading rendering techniques in one environment

Radiosity is another important technique provided by solidThinking. Architects, builders and lighting engineers, as well as general computer graphics users, and anyone who is interested in creating realistic images will take advantage of it for simulating real light effects. Hybrid rendering allows you to integrate radiosity with ray tracing and save computer memory and time while reaching the highest realism.
With shaded rendering methods, the appearance of an object is derived from the combination of four independent components, called shaders: colour source, reflectance model, transparency source, and displacement function.
This model provides a highly flexible and versatile environment for the specification of material properties.
Surface-curvature-evaluation shaders are ideal for automotive and product design.
