About 3D Crafter
3DCrafter is a real-time 3D modeling and animation tool that incorporates an intuitive drag-and-drop approach to 3D modeling. Complex models can be constructed from simple 3D primitives, or created using 3DCrafter’s Shape Building Tools. Modeling tools are provided to deform, sculpt, and paint 3D shapes. Creating an animated scene is as simple as positioning the shapes within your scene for each point in time in your animation. 3DCrafter will ensure that the resulting animation runs smoothly. Your animation can be stepped through a frame at a time, viewed in real-time, or recorded to a Video (AVI) file so that you can distribute your creation. Tool roll-up groups allow you to customize the 3DCrafter interface so that only those items you use most frequently are visible. And if you need access to a less frequently used feature, the tool roll-up is always one click away. The standard version of 3DCrafter is a fully functional product provided as freeware.

"Out Dated: Zero Support" Posted 2023-05-20
Pros: Easy to download (Paid version) and license.
Cons: Hopelessly inadequate - out dated 'support'; very little help online - even youtube 'tutorials' reflect the same sloppy standard.
Overall: I purchased the 'professional' version, to construct fairly simple, non animated models to Railworks, because the range of ready made Buildings/bridges, etc., is limited, poorly indexed and on occasions poorly modelled. I chose Crafter on the advice of a Steam tutorial. (No doubt that's out of date, too.) 3D modelling is always a bumpy learning curve - I mastered Train Sim modeller, after years of using Autocad ... but nothing matches this junk, for lack of support: I attempted to export a fairly simple model to Railworks. Recieved a '91' error, advising me to visit amabilis.com/forums. Fair enough, I thought... the url took me, not to forums; but their home page. I selected the 'discussions' tab, hoping to find some help there. I soon noticed that most of the threads are TEN YEARS OLD AT LEAST! Some date back to 2004, referring to older versions. Even the 'blog' link showed the most recent comment as 2020. I checked my own version: the licence details give the latest date as 2017.

My verdict: Don't bother - even with the free version: you'll have to re-learn everything, as soon as you hit a (probably perfectly manageable snag, were it not for the non existing support.) Thirty three quid down the drain.
