Cheetah3D 7 in 3D Animation Software

Cheetah3D is a lean, fast, and elegant 3D modeling, rendering, and animation package with an easy learning curve. It simplifies the world of computer-generated imaging, enabling creation of 3D artwork for the next iPhone game or to make a first animated character. Cheetah3D 7 has large sections of its core completely rewritten and modernized, laying the foundation for subsequent point releases and making the overall program leaner and faster. Cheetah3D v7.0 has been re-architected at a foundational level, likely tapping into Apple’s latest graphics APIs, such as Metal. An updated UI reflects internal “leaning” of the code base with the major new feature being its new unbiased renderer.
