Cloud9 Version 2.1 is more fun, easier to learn and use than other 3D software modelling packages, e.g. Sketchup, Rhino, 3DStudio, because Cloud9 has 3D haptics (virtual 3D touch) and 3D interaction, making it great for 3D modelling and designing.
We are now offering the latest version of Cloud9, with new features added, without a time limit on the license. These new features make this innovative 3D sketch modelling software application even better for easy and fluid creation and visualisation in 3D.
Key Improvements in V2.1:
- Submesh – increase the number of triangles in an object’s mesh for better resolution: all triangles or selected areas
- Reduce mesh – decrease the number of triangles in an object’s mesh: all triangles or just selected areas
- Slice an object/objects with a slice plane
- create video clips and the individual frames
- Boolean improvement
- Fixed many small bugs
This new version used feedback provided by Cloud9 stakeholders, users and testers to build on the application’s strengths and the recent developments in V2.0 (released June 2010):
Cloud9 Version 2 excels not just by building on the original application’s strengths but also from the feedback provided by Cloud9 stakeholders, users and testers. Anarkik3D spent 10 months in intensive development work using both positive and negative feedback in order to create a more powerful haptic based application, with good stability and with more features.
Key features:
- Ability to ‘touch’ and feel the 3 dimensional qualities of a virtual object
- Freedom of movement in all directions: for flexibility to construct, interact and manipulate objects within a 3D space
- Natural, fluid movement when working using Cloud9
- Real time feel, both in and outside objects
- Means to create organic shapes and designs
- Change hardness/softness of objects as required
- Non complex graphical based interface
The AnarkikAngels project was established to continuously develop Cloud9 informed through the practice of its creative community of stakeholders and will interest and benefit not only professional designers and artists, but anyone with a creative personality.
To purchase both Cloud9 and the essential Falcon haptic device, please contact main UK/EU distributor, A1 Technologies who supply both as a complete bundle, branded as ‘Chameleon’, with a current price of £495.
Download for Stakeholders and current license holders:
Cloud9 Version 2 setup can be downloaded for Windows here. Please make sure any previous installations have been removed before installing it. Please take time to read through ‘Setting up‘ page before downloading, especially the part regarding computer specification and activating your copy of Cloud9, as new activation numbers are required. The tutorial can be downloaded here, and the model data generated from the tutorial can be downloaded here.
Note for the previous Cloud 9 user:
Objects created in the original version of Cloud9 are compatible with V2 but will require saving and re-opening before undertaking any task to take advantage of new features such as ‘units’. This procedure converts it to the new data structure!
Please contact us for further details. If you wish to demo Cloud9 we can discuss how and where.
