Swivel 3D is a drawing/modeling program for the Mac. Create solid
objects, then reshape, rotate, join and animate them. Create shadows
or project clipboard graphics onto your object. Frames can be saved as
full-color Scrapbook pages which you may later import into e.g.
[Videoworks II][1].

Swivel 3D renders fully shaded solid objects at a surprisingly decent
speed on 80s Macintosh systems like the Mac SE or the Mac II. That's
very cool, but it also had its price (395$) when released in late
1988.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k
Version 2.0.11 is confirmed to work in System 6.0.4 through System
7.1. Included shaders require a compatible version of [Pixar
MacRenderman][3].
The SwivelArt self-extracting archive appears to have some difficulty
extracting in System 7.1. Use a version of StuffIt to do the
extraction instead or consider doing the extraction in an earlier
version of the Macintosh System software.
