Swift 3D, from Electric Rain Inc., is a 3D modeling and animation application whose primary purpose is to create and convert 3D graphics into various 2D formats for use in Macromedia Flash. It's the only 3D application to directly integrate with Adobe Flash® through the Swift 3D File Importer and SmartLayer Technology, and produces unrivaled vector rendering quality and output style options. Swift 3D's toolset and interface allow anyone to quickly create 3D content, while providing a full set of advanced tools to grow into. And with new Papervision3D export, Swift 3D introduces a whole new realm of true 3D possibilities in Flash.
