Overview of Purpose:
What is SpriteForge?
SpriteForge is essentialy a tool for creating large numbers of 2D sprites from 3D models. You can 'photoraph' your model's animation frames (or simply it's static profile) from several different camera angles in just a few easy steps. Primarily designed for creating game sprites, spriteForge is also great for making 3D website graphics (ie spinning 3D logos), taking photos of a 3D model for sale, avatars for chatrooms, testing a model's animation, spriteForge has a multitude of uses, think of it as an advanced photo studio for your 3D models!
With SpriteForge you can even create sequences of many models at once, then simply choose the orbit positions and elevation you require. This makes SpriteForge perfect for creating for example; 2D 45'orthographic characters for an RPG style game, animated in all 8 directions!
How is it helpful over my 3D program's Renderer?
Take a 'top down' RPG, where everything has to be at an orthographic 30' camera elevation and in all 8 rotations (N NE E SE S SW W NW).
One very common practise to use a 3d modeller's output to do this. However, this can take a lot time to set up using camera paths etc, or for more basic users the old: 'move camera, take pic, move camera, take pic....' aproach. Imagine all the organising and planning, especially if you have lots of models to process that all have to follow the same pattern. In addition, with a modellers output its hard to get the frame dimensions to sprite ratio right, with SpriteForge you get it exactly right. (and if you so desire in a nice table!).
Finally, you can save your custom settings (or studio environment) for repeated use.

Shape It! Show It! Sell It!
With the TurnTool software you can make 3D models available for everyone on the net, cd-rom or office applications. The TurnToolBox is a plug-in for 3D Studio Max, Autodesk Viz, MicroStation, ArchiCad and Cinema4D, which enables you to export your 3D scenes and make them interactive in seconds.
The TurnTool Viewer is a small plug-in that is free of charge and enables you to show your 3D content to everyone online or offline. TurnTool Viewer is one of the smallest browser plug-ins for interactive web 3D solutions on the market today. The initial download is only 133K.
Real-Time 3D on the Fly
The TurnToolBox is a minimal interface plug-in for 3D applications. This means that you work within the application environment that you already know and at the press of a button your scenes are ready for the Internet. You can also do interactive architectural visualizations with TurnTool, as well as character animations. TurnTool has its own physics engine and readily supports Character Studio.
TurnToolBox Licenses
Once you have downloaded and installed the TurnToolBox you will be able to produce your own
TNT files and see the result online or offline with the TurnTool Viewer.
The TNT files produced with the free version of the TurnToolBox are not licensed and will have a
logo floating over the scene when displayed.
To create TNT files without the logo you will need a license. All licenses come with an annual cost
covering updates and services.

Manuals, Tutorials, Showcases and our online shop.
Enjoy a new way to present 3d online or on CD-ROM!
