Creating INTERACTIVE 3d scenes and PC games is easy!

For Windows® Vista/XP

With 3D Rad you can bring life to your 3d models and create full-fledged 3d games
in a fraction of the time it would take with other tools


3D Rad v6.27 - This is a 30-day trial allowing you to fully evaluate automatic conversion of your 3d models to physics capable objects, shader-based rendering, skeletal animation blending, car-physics, A.I. driving, flight-simulation, scripting and all other major functions.

OCTOBER 2008       THE COMPILER IS NOW SEVERAL TIMES FASTER!       LARGE PROJECTS' FRAME-RATE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED!       IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR THE SCRIPT OBJECT, AND MORE!       SEE FULL LIST OF CHANGES AND FIXES


Getting started with 3D Rad

This five-minute tutorial will show you why 3D Rad is such a great development tool for CG artists and non-coders!

Other documents we strongly recommend, if you are new to 3D Rad, are the overview and this short video.

Time Bomb Duel

A ticking bomb is strapped on your car. Get rid of it by slamming into the opponent car!

To play the game click the picture and then click "Run" every time Windows asks you what to do with the incoming files.

Follow the setup wizard to install the game the first time you play.

Visual effects!

Animated water, reflections, glass, bloom, particles are just some of the visual effects supported by 3D Rad!

For an example, install this stand-alone demo demonstrating water and underwater effects. No audio.

Requires PS 2.0+. Try running at a lower resolution if it fails to render on a low-end video-card.

Interactive architectural walkthroughs and visualizations with a twist

Publish your 3d artwork to stand-alone executables and let your clients navigate the project and interact with features of it. You can really impress them by going as far as adding working doors, elevators, talking characters or any other interactive feature! Read more >>

Performance, performance, performance!

Powered by a sturdy 3d engine with 7+ years of debugging, 3D Rad can deliver high-quality rendering and excellent frame-rates even for large environments with hundreds of thousands of polygons. In this document, tips on how to export your 3d models from Google SketchUp to achieve the maximum performance possible.

Make your animated characters walk and interact in real-time with scenery features and other animated objects!

The technique presented in this tutorial works best with bone-animated characters (created, for example with 3D Studio Max, Blender etc), but it can be used for SketchUp's frame-by-frame animations as well. Read more >>

3D games and simulations

Making fully featured 3d games and VR simulations is easier than you think, thanks to a straightforward developing workflow. And with full access to the Google 3D Warehouse you get more royalty-free content than you can handle! Read more >>

Flight simulation

A special object called 'Airfoil' allows you to accurately simulate wing dynamics (lift). With this asset, making your 3d airplane models fly is a breeze! Stand-alone demo available. Read more >>

Artificial Intelligence

Autonomous car driving is one of the striking features that tells about the power of 3D Rad. Adding CPU controlled cars to your project is as easy as 'plugging' a special object to your virtual cars! Read more >>

Natural Environments

3D Rad comes with components designed to make setting up natural environments as easy as possible. Read more >>

Sound Effects, Music

Adding high-quality audio effects to your projects is straightforward. Sound files in .wav or .ogg format can be either used as 3d sound emitters in virtual space or as 'global' stereo sounds typically used for background music and interface sfx. Read more >>

Network, Multiplayer

Network and multiplayer functionality is supported through scripting. To give you a push-start, 3D Rad includes sample projects demonstrating how to render, in real-time, on a remotely connected PC, a simulation processed on the local machine and how to exchange textual strings between connected computers.

3D Studio Max, Maya, Lightwave and more

3D Rad powerful animation features allow you to interactively render and play any bone-based animation, and multiple animation sets with animation blending. Google SketchUp-like frame-by-frame animations are supported too. Read more >>
