The following table is a comparison chart of each edition and the old version.
Metasequoia 4 | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Ver3.1 | no license key | Standard | EX | |
64bit supportWindows 64 bit version is supported. You can process data by using memory 2GB and more. | ||||
Running on macOSmacOS is supported. | ||||
Vector based GUI for a high resolution monitorButtons and icons are displayed by vector image easy to see. | ||||
N-gon (>=5)Polygons don't limited to triangle or quadrangle. You can add edges or vertices without limit of shape. | ||||
Snap to vertices, lines, facesYou can edit objects along vertices, edges, faces or grid. This edit option is switched On/Off. | ||||
Fill a hole upYou can fill a hole of object automatically. | ||||
BridgeYou can create a bridge object from hole to hole automatically. | ||||
FilletYou can create a fillet surface (a rounded corner). | ||||
Create text objectsYou can create text objects with specifying font type and object's thickness. | ||||
Unit displayMeasure supports units, mm / cm / inch / feet. You can display units on 3D view. | ||||
Local coordinates & hierarchy of objectsYou can operate objects in the local coordinates of each object. And can deform child objects with deforming parent objects. | ||||
Polygon reducerPolygon reduction is reducing vertices with keeping a shape of an object. | ||||
Vertex colorYou can set the color at each vertex. | ||||
Ambient occlusionAmbient occlusion is expressing shadow, it makes dark color in the secluded part, and bright color in the opening part. | ||||
Blobby objectBlobby object can create smooth surface object. | ||||
OpenSubdiv'OpenSubdiv', Pixar's subdivision surface is supported. | ||||
Vertex/Edge weight for subdivision surfaceBy setting weight to subdivision surface, you can make a object having both curved and flat faces. | ||||
ArmatureSet the center lines and object's width, an object along lines is created. | (*1) | |||
PathCloneYou can duplicate an object to multiple, along path line. | ||||
BoneYou can set bones to objects. Objects with bones can be posed. (Update in Ver4.7) | ||||
MorphMorphing is creating an object by synthesizing two objects with interpolating. | ||||
UV editYou can edit UV coordinates and set texture image. | (*2) | (*2) | ||
SculptYou can edit objects by scraping or raising the surface of polygons like sculpting. | ||||
3D paintingYou can paint to texture image of an object directly on 3D view. | ||||
Multiple lightsLight sources can be installed up to 3. | ||||
Real-time shadowShadow by lights can be displayed on 3D view immediately. | ||||
Order independent transparencyDepth of overlaped semi transparent objects can be displayed accurately. | ||||
Bump, normal map displayBump and normal map can be set by texture image. | ||||
Vertex normalYou can change shading of the object by editing the direction of vertex normals. | ||||
Three orthogonal viewsYou can split working screen and display top, front, left as 3 fixed views. | ||||
Second viewSecond view is another window differently from main window. It can be displayed 3D view. | ||||
Environment mapIt is available for a background display and a light source. (Update in Ver4.8) | (*6) | (*6) | ||
Background imageIt can import draft image and display it on back of 3D view. | ||||
Measure a length, an angle and a thicknessYou can measure length or angle of an object. | ||||
VoxeloidIt is command changing polygon of an object to voxel. | (*3) | |||
Solidify texturesYou can convert pattern of textures to polygon by brightness or transparency of texture image. | (*3) | |||
Ray tracing renderingYou can render objects with tracing shadow of light sources accurately. | (*4) | |||
Path tracing renderingIt reproduces the scattering of light between objects, allowing to render soft shadows. (Update in Ver4.8) | (*4) | |||
Toon renderingYou can rendered objects with outline and shadow like cell animation. | ||||
User made plug-insYou can make custom plug-in or use plug-in made by other users. | ||||
Python scriptYou can make custom script by Python. | ||||
File browserUsing file browser, you can check thumbnail and preview of files supported by Metasequoia. | ||||
