![]() Some of the core features like the renderers are implemented as plugins as well to facilitate maintenance.Īrt of Illusion provides several types of objects with their specific editing tools for modeling: Primitives (cube, sphere, cylinder), Curve, Tube, Spline mesh, Triangle mesh, Polygon mesh (plugin), Implicit object (plugin), Hologram (plugin). Plugins can add features, like tools and object types to the software or alter the user interface. Scripts are used either to create and edit objects or to modify behavior of the software. The core software package contains basic modelling, texturing, animation and rendering tools. Features General buildup and the core software Īrt of Illusion consists of the core software and various feature extensions, which come as plugins and scripts. The latest stable version, 3.2.0, was released on January 13, 2021. Since 1999 there have been over 40 releases of the software. Lucas took the development from SourceForge to GitHub and the SourceForge-site serves as the software's discussion forum and delivery channel. Peter was the lead developer until the year 2016, when at Peter's request, Lucas Stanek started to host the development, while Peter assumed a more supervisory role. The development of the software was started in 1999 by Peter Eastman. Īrt of Illusion has been entirely written in Java. For its capabilities it has been described 'powerful, comprehensive and extensible'. Some user reviews describe Art of Illusion as 'intuitive' 'straight forward to learn' and 'good candidate for the first 3D modelling tool', while some characterize it as 'software for experienced CAD users' or taking plenty of time to figure out. 3.1 General buildup and the core softwareĪrt of Illusion is 3D graphics software, such as Blender and Wings 3D (which are both free software), and Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya (which are both proprietary software).Īlthough some sources seem to confuse 3D modeling with computer-aided design (CAD), Art of Illusion does not provide any CAD-like features, such as parametric modeling.The blue/cyan colour chart to the right isn’t part of the illusion, but there to demonstrate that the ultra cyan you have just seen is not in the monitor’s color palette! It should be, but isn’t. ![]() The circle’s rim will glow brilliantly with true Cyan! Keep on moving your head slowly backwards, and it’ll glow very hot!… ![]() Once you’ve done this, slowly – move your head backwards – making sure to keep your eyes focused on the dot at all times. Don’t stop staring though yet! Wait another minute – keeping your head perfectly still. Soon after staring, you’ll start to see a thin rim of light around the edge. Always try to keep focused on the white dot. The longer – the better (two minutes and you’ll get a much stronger effect). Stare at the white dot in the centre of the red circle. It’s a pity one needs an optical illusion to demonstrate this, but at least you can see what you’ve been missing -) Anyway on with the illusion…. The colour you are about to witness is actually true Cyan … a colour that is heavily diluted on the vast optical illusions 10 majority of monitors (thanks to colour pollution). It’s a startling example of how poor the green/cyan element is on TVs and monitors generally. ![]() See a new color you’ve never seen before!!…Well… at least never before on your monitor. ![]()
