Creative Edge Software iC3D 5.0.0 Suite Creative Edge Software, developer of the award-winning iC3D packaging design software, has released 4.1.1 version of iC3D software, is the first real-time all-in-one package design software that lets you generate live 3D digital mockups on-the-fly. iC3D is the first 3D packaging visualisation software to offer patented Smart Mesh which allows labels and artwork to be instantly slid over models without needing tedious UVW texture co-ordinate mapping. Quickly design and generate asymmetric 3D models such as perfume bottles, trigger sprays and molded containers using iC3D’s unique Shape Modeller feature. Visualize fast, accurate shrink and shrink artwork corrections on single & multiple objects, so they will be ready for production. Once finished you can output hi-resolution images, 3D PDF’s, generate proofs or print your models with leading 3D printers. Share your designs internally, with customers, by email, animated movies or with the free viewer, iC3D opsis, to make collaboration quick and simple. Among a range of updates that complement the photorealistic capabilities already available from iC3D, the new version 4.1 software now includes Bump Displacement. This key new feature expands the potential for designers to build unique, 3D shapes and surfaces, creating greater depth, detail and photographic accuracy that is essential for those operating in the luxury packaging environment. iC3D was developed to help packaging creatives quickly and accurately simulate nuances of light and color in even the most complex packaging designs featuring premium-class treatments. In addition to Bump Displacement, a fleet of high-performance visualization capabilities allow specialty closures and security seals, matte and metallic inks, holographic foils, and even liquid effects, to be visualized in 3D in a matter of minutes. Creative Edge Software declares the same “studio” sophistication previously only available through dedicated specialist programs or physical mockups.
