Art of Illusion is a free, open source 3D graphics studio.

Art of Illusion combines modelling, animation, texturing and rendering in one application, with advanced features which compare favorably to those found in many commercial programs.

Art of Illusion is written entirely in Java. It should (in theory) work under any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is compatible with Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4 or later.

Requirements:
Java 1.4.2 or later

What's New in This Release:
Mesh editors allow the selection to be changed with any tool, not just the "Select and Move" tool.
Added a new compound move/scale/rotate tool to the mesh editors (based on an implementation by Francois Guillet).
The raytracer can render implicit surfaces.
The raster renderer can render transparent textures and materials.
The raster renderer can generate high dynamic range images.
The Color Selector window now maintains a list of recent colors.
The Image procedural module can now output HSV and HLS color components as well as RGB.
Replaced the Perlin Noise function used for procedures with Simplex Noise (based on an implementation by Stefan Gustavson).
Lots of internal changes to provide better support for the PolyMesh plugin.
Upgraded to JOGL JSR-231 1.0.0.
Lots of bug fixes.
