Built on our older code base, you’ll still find this a capable 3D modeling and rendering app. For more advanced features like Boolean & skin modeling, anisotropic reflections, faster rendering – and more – choose Design 3D SE 7. If you want to add animation with features like motion blur, shatter, explode – plus advanced subdivision surfaces – choose Design 3D CXi. Both are on upgrade sale for a limited time. Click on the icons to the right for more info on our other products.

If you're new to 3D and want to get started with a product that's easy to use and very affordable, and you don't feel you need all the cool features in our other products – and if you don't mind using an older, more dated interface – then this version of Design 3D SE might be right for you. You'll still find lots of great features, and once you learn this user interface you'll have an easy time moving up to Design 3D SE 7 or Design 3D CXi.
