Wings 3DWings 3D is an advanced subdivision modeler that is both powerful and easy to use.Originally inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware, Wings 3D has been developed since 2001, when Björn Gustavsson (bjorng) and Dan Gudmundsson (dgud) first started the project. Richard Jones (optigon) maintained Wings and coded many new features between 2006 and 2012. Wings 3D is currently maintained by Dan with the help of the great community.Wings 3D offers a wide range of modeling tools, a customizable interface, support for lights and materials, and a built-in AutoUV mapping facility.There is no support in Wings for animation.ErlangWings 3D is written in Erlang, an open source, functional programming language distributed by Ericsson.Winged Edge Data StructureWings 3D gets its name from the Winged Edge Data Structure (WEDS). This is the data structure used to store the adjacency relationships between edges, faces, and vertices in a Wings 3D model.Open SourceWings 3D is open source and completely free for use in both personal and commercial projects.FeaturesOverview Context sensitive interface Configurable interface and hotkeys Wide range of Selection and Mesh tools Exports to common 3d file formats like .obj UV mapper, Vertex Colors, Materials, and LightsIntuitive InterfaceWings has a simple interface. Right-click menus give you easy access to common commands. These menus are context sensitive, so depending on your selection, a different menu pops up.Hovering over any menu item will display a brief description of the command in the Info Line at the bottom of the main window.Variations to commands are listed in the Info Line. Many commands let you pick an extra vector or point that the command should operate upon. Command variations are initiated by selecting the command using the different mouse buttons. In the Info Line, the mouse buttons are abbreviated to L, M, and R.ToolsWings 3D has a comprehensive set of mesh modeling and selection tools. Standard tools such as Move, Scale, Rotate, Extrude, Bevel, Bridge, Cut, and Weld. Advanced tools including: Sweep, Plane Cut, Circularise, Intersect, Bend, Shear, and Inset. Magnets and Magnet Masking Virtual Mirror for symmetrical modeling Tweak and Sculpt Edge Loop and Edge Ring selection and navigation tools Smooth Preview Much, MUCH more!AutoUVAdd textures to your model using the AutoUV facility. AutoUV helps you cut and unfold an image of your model’s surface, which you can then export for painting and texturing.Interface LanguagesWings is written in English but has been translated into various languages including:Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) CzechFinish French GermanItalian Japanese KoreanPolish Portuguese RussianSwedish TurkishDownloadsWings 3D DownloadsDownload the package that best suits you.Even though we have a release listed as Stable, quite often the Development edition includes fixes for bugs reported in the Stable, as well as new features.System Requirements Windows7 or later: OpenGL 2.1 required.
