Creative Edge Software iC3D 5.0.0 Suite

The development of the version 5.0 comes in response to customer requests since the launch of iC3D v4.0 photorealism at drupa last year, particularly relating to shape modelling and realism.

The five key features of the new iC3D versions 5.0 are:

- Point Editor - advanced shape editing tool providing enhanced photorealism through the ability to add curves, creases, crumples and dents to models selectively
- UVW Editor - enables selective manipulation of artwork placed on 3D models to correct artwork distortion, improve naturalism and allow artistic interpretation
- Physics Simulator - automatically calculates appropriate curves, creases and distortions to create photorealistic 3D flexible packages, such as bags and pouches, at a mouse-click
- Sealed Shrink - for visualizing shrink-filled packages using completely sealed bags. Complements the existing iC3D Shrink Sleeve feature.
- Advanced Shape Modeller - additional tools for the creation of highly complex 3D shapes and combinations of shapes

Using features such as Point Editor and UVW Editor, iC3D v5.0 provides the ability to select points on a 3D model, edit shapes, distortions and surface effects, visually adjusting artwork to improve the real-life appearance of a label or package design. This could involve adding aspects of randomization or imperfection, such as creases, crinkles and indentations.

As well as these features for selective editing, version 5.0 includes automatic processes. Physics Simulator is similar to technology used in the gaming and film industries. In iC3D v5.0 it automatically recreates the behavior of a flexible package in different situations, such as sag, bulge and drape dynamics. Sealed Shrink has been developed to mock-up shrink-filled bags such as those commonly used for pre-packed perishables - for example, cheese, fish and meat portions.

About Creative Edge Software iC3D. iC3D is the first 3D packaging design and visualisation software to offer the patented "Smart Wrap" Mapping software which allows labels and artwork to be placed accurately onto complex models without the need for tedious UVW mapping of texture coordinates. iC3D comes with a direct link into Adobe Illustrator allowing your 2D Illustrator artwork to be directly mapped onto your 3D models as base artwork or as labels. Output hi-resolution images, PDF proofs for mark-up or share your designs with colleagues and customers using the iC3D Movie exporter, which creates portable compressed movie files that can be shared or put on compliant websites.

About Creative Edge Software. Creative Edge Software is a U.S registered software development company, with UK based research and development. Their innovative patented 3D technology helps the ideation/design process in the packaging, labelling & graphics markets. It quickly enables more customers to better engage with the packaging, and greatly reduces the time to production. Their development pedigree spans 26 years creating & developing innovative software solutions for Fuji Film, Image Technologies, 3D computer games companies, leading OEMs and partners.
