Cheetah3D Modeling Tool Free Download

Cheetah3D is an enhanced 3D modeling and animation software written in Cocoa, specifically for Mac OS. This free download is a standalone dmg installer of Cheetah 3D for Macintosh.

Cheetah3D Overview

When it comes to the Macintosh users, there are a very few reliable tools for graphics. Cheetah3D is a powerful tool with a friendly interface known for its simplicity. It is a good start for those who are new in animation and graphics designing. You can create simple 3-Dimentional scenes with a variety of geometric primitives like bezier curves and polygon meshes. Many advance features are also there including subdivision surfaces for box modeling with basic animation support from spine based camera paths, skeletal deformations, target objects, subdivision surfaces, and morph targets.

Moreover, enhanced rendering features are there for raytraced shadows, antialiasing, HDRI, caustic lighting, ambient occlusion, soft shadowing, depth of field and more. This powerful tool supports a wide range of formats including FBX, 3DS, OBJ, SIA and more. It has a wonderful support with a lot of tutorials for easy hands on the tool. Many other modeling tools are there for creating wonderful animations.
