Truevision is a software tool that enables users to create 3D models using the Gnome and Povray platforms.
Truevision is a promising 3D modeling software that is currently in development, specifically designed for users of Gnome and Povray. As a warning, users are advised to save their work regularly.
There are a wide range of features available with Truevision, making it a comprehensive tool for creating detailed 3D objects. The software allows users to create various objects with finite solid primitives such as blobs, boxes, spheres, cones, cylinders, torus, heightfield, superellipsoid, lathe, and sphere. Additionally, it supports finite patch primitives such as disc, and infinite solid primitives like planes.
Users can also utilize a variety of tools for manipulating and editing their objects, such as rotating, scaling and translating them. The camera can also be manipulated and edited to better capture the ideal image. Meanwhile, lights can be added in the form of point, cylindrical, spot or area lighting, individually or as groups, and a range of athmospherics can be added such as background, skysphere, media, and fog.
Truevision also allows users to create and edit materials, offering a preview of the changes made. Once complete, the software can output the scene to Povray for rendering. Additionally, scenes, materials, and objects can be saved and loaded, while materials can be saved individually in a material library alongside their previews.
The software requires Persistence of Vision Gnome 2 and GTK 2, OpenGL (Mesa or other), GtkGLext, and Zlib. In its latest version, Truevision has a new Python plugin interface, general GUI improvements, and has undergone code cleanup in compliance with GTK2. Furthermore, dozens of bugs have been fixed.
Overall, Truevision is a tool worth considering for 3D modeling needs. Its extensive feature set, along with the ability to load and save scenes and materials, make it a solid choice for those looking to create detailed 3D models in Gnome and Povray.
