K-3D is a freeware yet powerful and feature-rich 3D modeling and animation software.
This impressive tool features a plugin-oriented procedural engine for all of its content, making K-3D a very versatile and powerful package.
K-3D excels at polygonal modeling, and includes basic tools for NURBS, patches, curves and animation.
This 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system for GNU / Linux, Posix, and Win32 operating systems features a robust, object-oriented plugin architecture, designed to scale to the needs of professional artists, and is designed from-the-ground-up to generate motion-picture-quality animation using RenderMan-compliant render engines.
It is strongly recommended to use the Aqsis render engine with K-3D.
K-3D's innovative interactive tutorial system will introduce you to the basic use of the program. New tutorials can easily be recorded and shared with the rest of the community.
K-3D allows you to create and edit documents in multiple realtime OpenGL solid, shaded, texture-mapped views. You can even model, animate, and interact with animations while they play back for maximum productivity!
