Merlin 3D is an intuitive 3D modeling and rendering environment for Microsoft Windows, where models and scenes truly come to life. Slated for a fourth quarter 1999 release, Merlin 3D offers users the ability to build and render models quickly and experience fully textured scenes in real-time. Merlin 3D is a powerful tool for CAD users and digital content designers who create interactive 3D. It provides unmatched real-time speed and performance along with an intuitive interface intended to cut down lengthy development time. Modeling productivity is unmatched through a combination of high speed performance and advanced workflow. Merlin 3D comes with an extensive set of modeling building blocks.
Users can create boxes, spheres, cones, cylinders, torus, knots and more.
Merlin also features exclusive Super Toroid and Super Ellisoid primitives from which a large number of shapes can be derived. Features such as Grid Snapping and Othographic View Modes ensure accurate object modeling. Users can deform objects interactively in real-time using modifiers like stretch, scale, uniform scale, bend, taper, twist, pull, relax, and bulge. An innovative method of deforming complex objects simplifies ultimate control and precision. Powerful Boolean functions facilitate creating custom objects by adding, subtracting or intersecting two objects together to produce a new object.
