Short: Breeze Designer 2.0.5 32-bit 3D modelling and design tool for Windows
SuggestedDirectory: /pub/povray/modellers/breeze

Breeze Designer is a 32-bit 3D modelling and design tool for Windows NT,
Windows 95 and Win32s. The program has been written to primarily interface
with the Persistance of Vision raytracer (POV-Ray version 2.0 & 3.0), there
is also support to export to a number of other popular renderers
including Pixars's RenderMan.

Features

- Modelling primitives; cube, sphere, cone, cylinder, torus, bicubic, Bezier patches
- Text objects using TrueType fonts
- Heightfields, spline paths and extruded shapes
- Iso-surfaces; blobs (metaballs)
- Surfaces of revolution (sweeps)
- Multiple model views and zoom factors
- Inbuilt texture builder
- Inbuilt shaded preview
- Object grouping with CSG support
- Keyframe animation support, with tween function and spline paths
- Transition position, scale and rotation between frames
- Import Autodesk 3D-Studio 3DS format models
- Import AutoCAD 2D and 3D DXF files
- Export POV Raytracer, RenderMan RIB, VRML scene, Polyray, AutoCAD DXF
- Inbuilt in macro language
- Third party plug-in module support
- Render and view from within program
- No program limit to the number of objects
- Support for OpenGL with texture mapping for Windows NT & Windows 95
- Support for the Intel 3DR rendering library
- On-line help & tool tips support

System Requirements

This program requires at minimum a 386 with co-processor, and 8 megabytes
of RAM, running Windows NT 3.5 or later, Windows 95 or Win32s 1.3 or later.
