[pc
and mac] Amorphium
is like working with an organic substance like
clay. Using tools to deform and manipulate the
model, and brushes to paint and texture it,
Amorphium feels like a 2D painting program on
steroids.
If
you've never used a 3D package before, Amorphium should
be your choice. It's great fun to pull, punch, twist
and turn the 3D model in such an intuitive way, especially
when the rendering is outstanding and the tool-set
superb. Add to that the great support in outputting
for the Flash format, and Amorphium is a very tough
3D package to beat.
