SIRDS or SIS is an image giving a three-dimensional representation of a solid object or surface, and it does not require any equipment such as red & blue or polarized 3D glasses to view the stereo scene. You just need to learn how to view it in certain way with your own eyes.

Cheetah3D is a lean, fast and elegant 3D modelling, renderering and animation tool for Mac OS X with an easy learning curve. It offers many tools from powerful polygon editing over advanced subdivision surface modelling to HDRI and radiosity renderings. Support for many common 3D file formats rounds up its feature set.

Lean And Elegant User Interface

Most 3D modellers on the market offer their own unique way of working. Switching between 3D modellers can be like learning a new language, since their interfaces can be very complex. Cheetah3D takes all the best parts and rolls them into an interface that you’ll find powerful, intuitive and quick to use. Advanced operations will seem second nature in Cheetah3D - a real bonus for such a low-priced modeller.

Powerful Modelling Tools

Even more impressive is the power of the tools that are on offer. Cheetah3D doesn’t just provide a full set of polygon and spline editing tools, but also more advanced tools like lathe, sweep, extrude, boolean and subdivision surfaces. Models are arranged in a scene graph (with a complete transformation stack), so you just have to drag and drop the tools and objects together. Models further down the scene graph stay editable with all their parameters intact.

Fully Integrated Raytracer

Cheetah3D offers a fully integrated multithreaded raytracer too, with radiosity, HDRI backgrounds, ambient occlusion, anisotropic texture filtering, bump mapping, environment mapping, reflections, refractions, soft shadows, and more. Photorealistic renderings are just a mouse click away.

All this, and much much more for just $129!
