“Best animation tool”

It is best tool for modeling quick simple buildings or interiors. Architectural designers can do wonders with this tool. It’s hassle-free because even new users can easily create patterns like voronoi, with its decent Nurbs engine.

“More people need to know about this product!”

I’m quite surprised that this product is not as popular as I thought, given the amount of control and freedom it gives the user in terms of surface modelling, texture, lighting effects, and various other editing tools. It is a great product for all, from a beginner to an advanced level designer!

Form-Z pro Presence in 3D Animation Software
The ability to combine solid and surface modeling has made FormZ a preferred software in design fields that deal into articulation of 3D forms and spaces. Available in Mac and Windows versions, the software facilitates with interoperability between multiple platforms as it helps users to open their files on any one platform. AutoDesSys offers its customers advanced solutions which let them explore and then communicate their design ideas to their clients with clarity, refine them according to the actual demands of construction, and save time and money in the execution and delivery of the final product. To cater to heterogeneous needs of users, the company has three variants of the software, namely, FormZ Pro, FormZ Jr, and FormZ Free. The tool is instrumental in delivering animation, layout, and a customizable interface for multiple objects with ease. Moreover, it also helps clients in creating any form (of animations or object scenarios) with the help of RenderZone, a rendering tool which is available with FormZ Pro. FormZ Jr is a form generating tool to create designs with surface and solid modeling tools, NURBS creation, components, sun studies, and presentations. FormZ Free is a free tool with capabilities such as 3D digital modeling and 3D printing. FormZ mobile viewer is a tool available as a mobile application, which helps users share designs with clients and team members and display it in real time. AutoDesSys lags in its organic and in-organic growth strategies in the 3D animation market. Also, the company has to work on improving its channel partnerships and reseller network for increasing its distribution network.
