3D Crafter Description
3DCrafter is an interactive 3D modeling and animation software that allows you to quickly drag-and-drop 3D modeling. Complex models can be built from simple 3D primitives or created using 3DCrafter’s Shape Building Tools. You can use modeling tools to create, deform, sculpt and paint 3D shapes. It is easy to create an animated scene by simply placing the shapes in your scene at each point in your animation. The animation will run smoothly thanks to 3DCrafter. You can view your animation in real-time by stepping through a frame at a given time. Or, you can record it to an AVI file so that you can share it. You can customize the 3DCrafter interface by creating tool roll-up groups. This allows you to only see the items you use most often. The tool roll-up allows you to access a lesser-used feature by simply clicking one button. 3DCrafter's standard version is fully functional and available as freeware.

Out Dated: Zero Support Date: May 20 2023
Summary: I purchased the 'professional' version, to construct fairly simple, non animated models to Railworks, because the range of ready made Buildings/bridges, etc., is limited, poorly indexed and on occasions poorly modelled. I chose Crafter on the advice of a Steam tutorial. (No doubt that's out of date, too.) 3D modelling is always a bumpy learning curve - I mastered Train Sim modeller, after years of using Autocad ... but nothing matches this junk, for lack of support: I attempted to export a fairly simple model to Railworks. Recieved a '91' error, advising me to visit amabilis.com/forums. Fair enough, I thought... the url took me, not to forums; but their home page. I selected the 'discussions' tab, hoping to find some help there. I soon noticed that most of the threads are TEN YEARS OLD AT LEAST! Some date back to 2004, referring to older versions. Even the 'blog' link showed the most recent comment as 2020. I checked my own version: the licence details give the latest date as 2017.
My verdict: Don't bother - even with the free version: you'll have to re-learn everything, as soon as you hit a (probably perfectly manageable snag, were it not for the non existing support.) Thirty three quid down the drain.Positive: Easy to download (Paid version) and license.
Negative: Hopelessly inadequate - out dated 'support'; very little help online - even youtube 'tutorials' reflect the same sloppy standard.
