Archipelis Designer on Windows and Mac
System requirement:
Archipelis Designer V2.0 runs on a Windows 2000 and above (2000, XP, Vista, 7), Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Linux using Wine.
This machine sould have at least 256 Mb of memory (1 Gb is prefered), a 3D graphic card.
Archipelis Designer takes a different approach to creating 3D models by simply drawing its shape! Just draw the contour of the various shapes of the model (for example: the head, the body, the legs) and Archipelis Designer automatically merges them and applies textures. It is also possible to use a picture or photo as a background and follow the contours on it.
Thus, very simply and in about ten minutes, it is possible to create realistic organic models and to export them in widespread 3D formats like VRML, 3DS Max, DirectX or Google Sktechup and moreover Second Life. (See the user manual for complete list of features).

Archipelis 3D on Windows and Mac
19 euros only!
System requirement:
Archipelis 3D V1.0 runs on a Windows 2000 and above (2000, XP, Vista, 7), Mac OS X 10.5 for intel (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard), Linux using Wine.
This machine sould have at least 256 Mb of memory (1 Gb is prefered), a 3D graphic card.
With Archipelis 3D, creating 3D content is accessible for everyone. No need to be an expert to create organic shapes and textured 3D models.
This innovative concept is extremely easy to use: just draw an outline from a background image to make a 3D textured model! Or you can use a blank view and just draw the shapes you want from scratch.
It's the most intuitive approach to sketch out the shapes and enhance them with textures and photos. With a brand new effecient graphic user interface, 3D creation is accessible to everyone.
Archipelis 3D takes a different approach to creating 3D models by simply drawing its shape with your finger! Just draw the contour of the various shapes of the model (for example: the head, the body, the legs) and Archipelis 3D applies textures. It is also possible to use a photo and follow the contours on it. Thus, very simply and in about ten minutes, it is possible to create realistic organic 3D models.
Once a 3D model created, you can order a real 3D print by just pressing one button. Archipelis has a partnership with 3D printing companies to provide the most integrated solution to make your virtual creation a real one.
