Cooperation with UC-win/Road

In addition to the export to UC-win/Road, the real-time linkage between Shade3D and UC-win/Road is possible in the Professional version for Windows. Users can arrange models in large scale data and modify design and change materials.

Linkage with Adobe Illustrator

Arbitrary drawings or a three-view drawing can be exported from Shade3D in the format of Illustrator, and the Illustrator file in EPS format can be imported as 2D linear shape.
In addition, by pasting it on the 2D drawing, it can be used as an editable templete.

Export PBR surface material (Ver.21)

Use the glTF format to exchange files with tools and realtime engines supporting PBR (Physical Based Rendering).

This format is being spread as a common format for 3D contents creation and service like VR/AR. Files sent in this file format make less change on colors and depiction at the receiver side. It also supports the key frame animation.


Export surface materials

Select the file formats below when you send surface material data included in the file to be exported.

  1. Wavefront OBJ
  2. 3D Studio
  3. FBX

Export NURBS

Select the formats below when you export shapes as NURBS shape.

  1. STEP
  2. IGES

Export to 3D printers

The followings are the file formats for 3D printing.

  1. STL: Export in single color
  2. Wavefront OBJ: Export in full color
