K-3D0.8.0.6

Build and animate three-dimensional scenes with K-3D, shaping models and refining motion through an interactive workspace. For artists working in three dimensions, it sits in the Photo & Graphics category and presents a consistent interface that follows the look and feel of the host system, making its structure approachable to newcomers and familiar to professionals.

K-3D is open-source software published by Fave Oled; it runs on Linux with snapd on x86_64 (amd64) systems, and its current version is 0.8.0.6. Its plugin architecture works with a node-based visualization pipeline, so artists can assemble processing stages in different combinations. Procedural and parametric workflows let users alter properties interactively while seeing the resulting changes immediately. Selection can pass from one modifier to the next, supporting connected modeling operations rather than isolated edits.

An undo and redo system preserves an undo tree, allowing users to revisit earlier edits and continue along available branches. A symmetry workflow mirrors one side of a model and displays the combined result as a subdivision surface in real time. Native RenderMan support is integrated into the interface for production workflows that use that renderer.

The software suits artists developing models, animations, and procedural experiments, as well as professionals incorporating node-based revisions into three-dimensional work. K-3D is no longer maintained by its developers, and the 0.8.0.6 build is not an official release.
