Create 3D scenes linked together in short films through simple menus. . Installation instructions in readme.txt in files tab. 1-Scene/ backstage Open and close scenes. Choose background, generate a terrain, set lights, fog, camera position, sky picture, scene duration. 2-Draw/ placement Import objects (OBJ, C3D, 3DS), or create shapes (sphere, cone, etc...).
