Why Use Wings3D for iClone?
It's Powerful!!! It's Free!!!

It's an immediate bonus to all iClone users to enjoy free 3d modeling for iClone2. Wings3D includes full 3D modeling features similar to the classical 3D modeling tool Nendo form Izware. It also comes with powerful features for UV Map generation which allows precise UV mapping for iClone users.

Essential Polygon Editing Commands - Vertex, Face, Object
- Vertex : move, extrude, bevel, flatten (along x,y,z), tighten,
- Deform : Crumple, Taper, Twist, Torque
- Face: move, extrude (normal, region) , intrude, inset, bevel, bridge, bump, flatten
- Object: move, tighten, smooth (subdivision), uv map generation, weld vertex, combine, separate

Others
- Edge Smoothness: distinctively assign soft or hard edges to selected targets

- Vertex color, unfortunately not be able to export vertex color data in 3ds and OBJ

>> Video tutorial - how to generate UV map

- Simple Barrel UV mapping by Peter Chovanec (Wings3D AutoUV)
- UV mapping small videos for Strata3D - the same procedure to generate UV map for iClone
- UV Mapping with Wings3D - Step-by-step for Basic Human Head UV Generation

Limitations:

Wings3D can import 3DS, OBJ, VRML, and some other 3d file formats. However, Wings3D is designed perfectly for low polygon modeling, not appropriate to handle large 3d models which exceeds 5000 polygons.
