Do you have a Macintosh and a Windows PC? Your Swift 3D v6 serial number is now universal and will work on either platform, giving you the freedom to use Swift 3D on both platforms without the hassle of contacting us for an additional serial number or being forced to switch platforms. Buy once, use on both platforms.
Swift 3D v6 is available at an education discount price of $172.
Swift 3D v6 is the ultimate 3D software for graphic and rich media designers using Adobe Flash and Microsoft Expression Blend. Swift 3D is the only 3D software to directly integrate with Flash through the Swift 3D File Importer and SmartLayer Technology and exports to Microsoft XAML. Swift 3D’s toolset and interface allow anyone to quickly create 3D content, while providing a full set of advanced tools to grow into. Swift 3D is a powerful, easy-to-use 3D solution that delivers high-quality results for an unbeatable price.
V6 – Our Most Powerful Modeler
That’s right – Swift 3D v6 introduces a very simple but extremely powerful Boolean primitive to our modeler, which allows you to combine or punch holes through objects using other 3D objects in your scene. It’s all non-destructive, allowing easy editing and unlimited possibilities

Superior Flash Integration
Swift 3D is the only 3D tool to offer direct integration with Adobe Flash through the Swift 3D File Importer. SmartLayer Technology offers designers ultimate control over their 3D vector renderings. All important aspects are automatically seperated out into different layers when imported to Flash, reducing file size and broadening design possibilities.

Silverlight XAML Export allows anyone with the Silverlight Player installed on their machine to view your work within an internet browser, just like they would view Flash files using the Flash Player. Swift 3D Exports frame-by-frame animation in the 2D XAML format (simulating 3D effects), which is the language the Silverlight Player understands. These XAML files can also be used in Microsoft Expression Blend, as a design element of a larger Silverlight Project, just as you would import the SWF format or our proprietary SWFT format into Flash to complement a larger Flash Movie or Application.
Swift 3D v5 is available at an education discount price of $118.

Swift 3D creates a Winter Wonderland
This month’ s Case Study features Papervision 3D team member John Grden’s adaptation of the Christmas Light show originally inspired by a real life Christmas display on YouTube. Read on to see how Swift 3D played an important part in this amazing project.
The Dune Rod Project with Swift 3D
As time would allow, I would also work on various ‘fun’ projects to further refine my skills with Swift 3D. Theses usually revolved around something with 4 wheels and a big engine. One of my first detailed car projects was this one, a street rod/dune buggy concept, otherwise known as The Dune Rod. Later on, I created a Sports Coupe (2) and its accompanying racing edition, as well as a 350z model.
In this tutorial you will learn how to make a set of 3D Dice by using basic primitives, importing 2D Illustrator artwork and using various actions from within the Advanced Modeler in Swift 3D.

Virtual Hip Surgery with Swift 3D
Eric Bort created the “Virtual Knee Surgery” back in 2004 and now he has followed up with “Virtual Hip Surgery”. His latest exhibit created with Swift 3D features newly stylized characters and an array of 3D surgical instruments for your learning pleasure.
