Cloud9 Version 2 is the latest version of Cloud 9 and is enhanced with new features and benefits
making this innovative 3D sketch modelling software application with haptics (virtual touch) even better
for easy and fluid creation and visualisation in 3D
Key Improvements:
New well designed Interface
reported bugs and crashes fixed so new version is more stable
Mirror objects
Shortcut keys for quicker operations, such as move/rotate object
Support for OBJ file format( with texture mapping import capability)
Export part of the model (export selected objects only)
Configurable AUTOSAVE function
Unit setting (mm, cm and meter)
Boolean (union, subtract and intersect two objects): this is at pre-alpha stage,
included as it is usable in part, a useful tool and fun!
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.
Cloud9 Version 2 setup can be downloaded for Windows
here once the old version has been deleted. 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.
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.
