Argon - Subscription
Overview Argon offers entry-level 3D modeling without the commitment of high-end professional packages. It contains the same solid and surface modeling, rendering engine and animat ion tools found in Cobalt and Xenon, but without the high-end mechanical design and extreme productivity features you may not need yet. For both Macintosh and Windows, Argon lets you model and render with such a straightforward interface that you’ll forget you’re using a computer. Intended for those needing precision 3D modeling without cumbersome parametric history. Highlights Argon - speed designs from concept to profit with unmatched flexibility and power: Class-A NURBS surfaces, ACIS solids and intuitive wireframe are in one seamless package. Unique Organic Workflow design process lets you work any way you choose. Non-modal interface lets you switch between modeling techniques and approaches on the fly. Dynamic dimensioning for rapid modifications to your engineering drawings. More than 30 professional translators included FREE.
