D-form info

D-form is a tool to apply several kind of deformations to polygonal mesh objects and Bezier-patch objects. D-form is developed with the Persistence of Vision Raytracer in mind but it can be useful also in conjunction with other 3D software. It's available only for MacOS.
D-form can perform the following deformations:

Drag

Twist

Cut

Bend1

Bend2

Shear

Taper

Swirl

Magnet

These deformations can be applied to the whole object or even to a part of it allowing several interesting effects. The file format supported are:

.RAW triangles

.txt Amapi Text

.vtxt Vision-3D Text

.DXF AutoCAD

.b3d 3DMF

.POV triangle and smooth_triangle primitives

.POV bicubic_patch primitive

D-form can browse a .POV file and search for "bicubic_patch" objects and, if found, it would display them in wireframe. After deformation the file can be saved and the new values for the vertices positions for the patches are stored.
Now D-form is still pre-beta. If you want to became beta tester drop me a mail at dkrota@musicoff.com or download.
