Publisher's Description
From ThreeDify Incorporated:
ThreeDify Designer is a lightweight 3D modeler and file viewer. Designer is architected from ground-up as a dual mode program: Designer can run standalone or be embedded within any COM containers including Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint and Internet Explorer. Designer supports both hardware and software rendering modes, unlimited undo/redo, import of 40+ 3D file formats and 30+ image formats. Features include powerful grouping feature with drag and drop interface for basic assembly design, true 3D perspective-correct zoom window, CAD and Indoor view modes, preset and user-defined view clipping planes, 3D mesh and 2D polygon Boolean operations, mesh healing, associative dimensioning, component separation, 2D & 3D texts, 3D slicing, polygon offset, local vertex/face editing, solid or surface creation from cross sections, support for materials (diffuse, specular, ambient, emissive, height, normals, shininess, opacity, vertex displacement, and ambient occlusion), multi-textures and shaders (with per pixel lighting effects, bump mapping parallax mapping, gloss mapping, and vertex displacement mapping), and plus an array of other powerful markup and 3D objection creation/editing tools.
What's new in this version: Version 5.2.1 adds group and folder management with a drag and drop interface for basic assembly design and significant rendering optimization for most object creation and editing operations for large 3D scenes.

"Finally did it."
Version: ThreeDify Designer 5.0.1
Pros
Hardware rendering mode really helps a lot on my mobile ATI5650 card. I can now view big model in real time in true perspective mode and with variety of rendering efferts (materials and textures)
Cons
I can import and modify existing models with different materials and textures. but I cannot apply new textures and materials to a mesh with no existing textures and materials.
Summary
Finally a stable & robust product with many great features. I used previous versions before. They looked like unfinished product. This version seems to be production grade and I'll keep using from now on.
Keep it up. -
"Avoid. Circles look like Ovals. Locks up."
Version: ThreeDify Designer 3.1
Pros
It's Free! The price for garbage is right!
Cons
Locks up. Circles look like ovals. Runs slow. Rendering of design looks childlike.
Summary
See cons. Site gives the impression that one can create 2D images of some type of motor...not possible with the FREE version. Rendering looks like a 3 year old child drew it. No depth. Worse of all after a while the program locks up and must be restarted, of course all of your work is gone.

"A Program with potential"
Version: ThreeDify Designer 3.1
Pros
Thank you to the developers/company for offering a nice program for free.
Good interface.Cons
The main window is not re-sizable. When resizing it creates a weird vision.
Can not find the way to end the polyline and when ends its close it, maybe needs Enter or Esc.
with little changes and improvements this could be a great program.Summary
Great 3D program with lots of potential.
Willing to see some improvements. -
"Not to be used by beginners."
Version: ThreeDify Designer 2.6.9
Pros
Very usefull for advanced users
Cons
Not easy to manipulate objects if your a beginner. 30 day trial is a bit short. Unless you go through your registry files.
Summary
I do not like nor dislike this program. It just confuses me.

"Suspicious software"
Version: ThreeDify Designer 2.6.9
Pros
Install fine for a 30 trial.
Cons
Over 30 days of usage requires registration, and registration requires an attachment of a '.key' file emailed to them through your email system. This is a security problem.
Summary
I don't what is included in the required '.key' file, but almost all fire walls and virus protection software will block a '.key' from being sent over the Internet. This program is an obvious security risk.

"good"
Version: ThreeDify Designer 2.5.6
Pros
good
-
"Mislabeled as FREE when actually FREE TO TRY"
Version: ThreeDify Designer 2.5.5
Pros
I haven't opened it yet
Cons
I don't like the fact a company lied about it software to get someone to look at it. From that standpoint I call them untrustworthy, and deceitful, and I question their description of the product.

"Lean and mean"
Version: ThreeDify Designer 2
Pros
Inexpensive. Small size but packed with quite impressive modeling/viewing capabilities.
Cons
Not enough markup functionality.
-
"No regret so far"
Version: ThreeDify Designer 2
Pros
Took the words from other reviewers and no regrets so far. Pretty good for what it does. It may sounds funny: my 8 year old daughter got interested in it and now use it more often than I do.
Cons
Needs better user guide, although in most cases, the interface is self-explanatory.
-
"Awesome new undo/redo capability"
Version: ThreeDify Designer 2
Pros
I like the new unlimited undo/redo history. Plus I got my 2.0 upgrade for free.
Cons
The online help is useful, but needs polishment.
