ppModeler

A free but capable 3D modeller with tons of features and decent file support.

Professional 3D modelling packages cost huge amounts, that’s all right if you’re creating armies for Sauron, but if you’re just dipping your toes into the texture-mapped water or on a tight budget it can be daunting. ppModeler (just the one ‘l’ thank you) is free and yet still manages to pack a punch. Features include:

  • SDS modelling, with sharp edges.
  • Symmetrical meshes.
  • Blob modelling, with ellipse, 3D splines, 3D meshes.
  • 2D/3D curves: mix of straight lines and splines, Read TTF font, Boolean operations.
  • Toolboxes on meshes, faces, edges and vertices, texture projection.
  • Four Texture projectors: plane, cylinder, sphere and uv.
  • Procedural texture generated by scripts.
  • Morphing and skinning.
  • Export to: 3DS, OBJ, Direct X, DXF, VRML, Virtual Light, SunFlow.
  • Import from: 3DS, LWO, OBJ, VRML, DXF.
  • Export to POV, RENDERMAN.
