3D software recommended for academic use includes the following packages:
Internet Space Builder + Internet Scene Assembler Pro
Vrmlpad + Extrusion Editor
ISB + ISA Pro
Design 3D scenes with ISB, add interactivities and animations with ISA Pro! All editors include user-friendly visual supports through every step of the creative process!
Step 1: Create 3D objects and scenes using ISB:
Design 3D objects,
Add textures, sounds and Web links to the objects.
ISB offers you extensive galleries of textures, pictures, 3D-objects and scenes (more than 1000 samples).
Step 2: Assemble scenes and bring them to life with ISA Pro:
Import ISB objects and scenes into ISA's objects.
Assemble 3D scenes from ISA's objects.
Animate objects.
Establish relationships between events to create complex objects' behavior.
Add interaction between users and scenes.
Create guided tours through the scenes.
Vrmlpad + Extrusion Editor
VrmlPad is an advanced editor for VRML coding. It's good for students who are studying the basics of VRML or prefer manual programming. The key features of VrmlPad include smart autocomplete, dynamic errors detection, visual support for the scene tree, integrated script debugger, and publishing wizard amongst others.
Extrusion Editor is a visual plug-in for VrmlPad for the creation and editing of extrusion models. The use of extrusions instead of IndexedFaceSet models allows for the reduction of the size of a model while retaining its visual quality.
