The core software package contains basic modelling, texturing, animation and rendering tools. Features General buildup and the core software Īrt of Illusion consists of the core software and various feature extensions, which come as plugins and scripts. The latest stable version, 3.2.0, was released on January 13, 2021. Since 1999 there have been over 40 releases of the software. Lucas took the development from SourceForge to GitHub and the SourceForge-site serves as the software's discussion forum and delivery channel. Peter was the lead developer until the year 2016, when at Peter's request, Lucas Stanek started to host the development, while Peter assumed a more supervisory role. The development of the software was started in 1999 by Peter Eastman. Īrt of Illusion has been entirely written in Java. For its capabilities it has been described 'powerful, comprehensive and extensible'. Some user reviews describe Art of Illusion as 'intuitive' 'straight forward to learn' and 'good candidate for the first 3D modelling tool', while some characterize it as 'software for experienced CAD users' or taking plenty of time to figure out. Overview Īrt of Illusion is 3D graphics software, such as Blender and Wings 3D (which are both free software), and Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya (which are both proprietary software).Īlthough some sources seem to confuse 3D modeling with computer-aided design (CAD), Art of Illusion does not provide any CAD-like features, such as parametric modeling.

Art of Illusion can also export models for 3D printing in the STL file format.

It provides tools for 3D modeling, texture mapping, and 3D rendering still images and animations. Art of Illusion is a free software, and open source software package for making 3D graphics.
