You can see how the new functionality works in the video above. Updated 4 April 2017: The Rocket 3F developers have released a new Pro edition of the software, enabling users to customise the key bindings and interface, and to set up their own custom composite tools. Rocket 3F also comes with bridging plugins to intuitive NURBS modeler MoI, voxel sculpting and retopology tool 3D-Coat, and Luxion’s KeyShot renderer.įeedback from early testers – this thread on The Foundry’s forum dates back to the beta release – has been broadly positive, with criticism centring mainly around the visual style of the UI, which was described by one poster as having an “ice-cream shop look”. There is also the option to display models in silhouette-only mode, which looks useful for concept design. More unusual features include the workflow, which is geared towards mouse or stylus-only input, and what Sarmadac describes as “absolutely unique” crease tools. The software includes a standard basic range of tools for creating and editing polygonal and sub-D geometry, including a scene hierarchy and simple array, Boolean and instancing functionality. Solid basis poly and sub-D modelling tools, plus a few interesting featuresĪt the time of posting, the Rocket 3F website doesn’t include a written summary of the software’s features, so the simplest way to get a feel for what it does is to check out the video tutorials. Rocket 3F looks to preserve some of the unique features of Nvil, but with a workflow geared more towards artists who are new to 3D modeling. Offering a highly customisable toolset and user interface, Nvil has been described by users as an extremely quick modeler, although time-consuming to set up. Rocket 3F shares a code base with Nvil – formerly known as VoidWorld – Kun Shi’s existing modeling software, which also remains in active development. The software – the ‘3F’ stands for ‘fast, fun and friendly’ – is intended to give concept artists and designers a more intuitive route into 3D modelling than conventional DCC software.
