What is Shade 3D?

Shade 3D has successfully garnered a user base exceeding 500,000 individuals worldwide and serves a variety of functions within the 3D industry. A notable recent advancement is the introduction of OpenSubdiv, which refines the Catmull-Clark subdivision method by providing enhanced control over edge sharpness and subdivision focus. This cutting-edge tool significantly lowers the polygon count of 3D objects while preserving their original shapes, making it particularly advantageous for video games and models created through 3D scanning technology. Furthermore, the Wrapping Mesh feature can seamlessly integrate multiple intricate objects into a single, watertight form, which is especially useful for the 3D printing process. In addition to these features, users can now benefit from a newly launched 3D Printing Assistant that checks and repairs models, ensuring they are fully ready for 3D printing in both STL and OBJ formats. Together, this extensive array of tools not only empowers users to create and modify 3D models but also streamlines the finalization process, enhancing overall productivity and accuracy in their projects. As a result, users can expect a more intuitive experience when working with 3D designs.

What is AIR?

AIR represents an innovative 3D graphics rendering system that features a unique architecture and a comprehensive set of functionalities designed for the rapid production of high-quality visuals. By ingeniously combining the efficiency of scanline rendering, which adeptly manages complex scenes, motion blur, and depth of field, with the flexible on-demand capabilities of ray tracing, AIR provides accurate reflections, soft shadows, global illumination, and caustics. The system supports a variety of geometric primitives, including polygon meshes, trimmed NURBs, subdivision meshes, curves, particles, and implicit surfaces, allowing users to work with these elements in their authentic forms without the necessity of pre-meshing. Moreover, AIR includes true (sub-pixel) displacement features and offers high-dynamic range (HDR) input and output options. Users are afforded the advantage of fully programmable shading and procedural modeling, which permits the enhancement of the shading language through the creation of new functions in any preferred programming language. This extensive level of customization enables artists and developers to forge truly distinctive visual experiences tailored to their individual requirements. As a result, AIR not only meets current rendering demands but also paves the way for future advancements in the field of 3D graphics.
