AC3D is used to create 3D models for games; virtual-reality/simulation software; scientific, medical, and general-data visualizations; high-resolution 3D renderings and rapid prototyping of 3D designs. Features include a simple click-and-drag user interface; Texture co-ordinate editor(UV Mapper);powerful boolean functions; unlimited polygon and line editing down to the vertex level; subdivision surface modeling; Boolean operations;and a TrueType font 2D and 3D text generator.

Version 6.4.30:
- Sandio 3D mouse support
- Locked objects can now be shown in full 3D (or
wireframe as before) - see advanced settings.
- Improved DDS loading.
- Improved PNG support.
- New Milkshape exporter from TFPsoft which uses the
AC3D hierarchy to produce a skeleton.
- ATI NMF exporter: turn your high-resolution
model into a normal map for a low-resolution model. Works well with
ATI’s NormalMapper.
