Geometric Ltd. (Mumbai, India) released 3DPaintBrush, a visualization software that helps create near photorealistic images, animations, and videos from existing computer ‐ based 3D models within minutes. 3DPaintBrush is suitable for design professionals who need to create images and animations instantly.

3DPaintBrush allows real ‐ time rendering of 3D models to create impressive digital image outputs for architects, interior decorators, industrial product designers, engineers simulating environments, advertising creative professionals, and multi ‐ media content developers (animators; gaming, multimedia, and e-learning content creators). It includes the ability to import and combine 3D models from multiple sources, manipulate material properties, adjust light settings, add backgrounds and environments, create animations, and finally save the results in popular image formats, or export as Shockwave Flash and other popular movie formats.

Integration with Google 3DWarehouse provides access to millions of existing 3D models. 3DPaintBrush is based on DirectX 9.0, and it is supported on Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista. Other features of 3DPaintBrush include Import SketchUp, DWG (3D only), 3DS, OBJ, IGES and STEP file formats; built-in set of textures and HLSL shaders; drag and drop lights; drag and drop pre ‐ defined animations; export scenes to BMP/JPG/PNG/SVG/XAML formats; export Animations to Flash and AVI formats; insert models into an existing 3D scene; import image files as textures; and insert background image or 3D Skyboxes for composing realistic scenes.

To download a fully functional limited-period trial version, visit 3DPaintBrush. After the trial period, the product continues to function in save and export disabled mode.
