Dead Deer: Powerful free 3D modeling and animation program

The creation of video games and 3D animation has behind months and months of work. And to achieve a decent product we have to create objects, textures, realistic backgrounds and animate the characters. Fortunately, there are platforms like Dead Deer that allows you to create games and 3D animations, easily. All thanks to its intuitive environment, comprehensive 3D modeling tools and the insertion of simple scripts, which will help you save many hours of development.

Dead Deer is a cross-platform project that is available for Windows 32 and 64-bit, MacOSX 10.6 and 10.8 (and higher), Linux, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Google VR, Open VR, Oculus VR, Webasm, and Uwp8 and 10. In other words, it has support for any system you want to use it on.

Intuitive and well-organized interface

All of the platform's tools (object creation, modeling, editing, texture mapping, and animation) have an interactive preview that will make creating video games and animations very simple. In the center of the interface you'll find the work area (the 3D animation) that you can control from the right side panel.

Tools for handling objects

Most tools only work when they are active (you have to select them). If you want direct access to the services, you can use the contextual menu to directly access a large part of the object creation, texture mapping, and animation tools.

Developing by writing code

If you want to go a bit further, you can develop applications or games by inserting "Script" and writing code. The platform will help you develop with the syntax highlighting service and code suggestions. With all these aids, everything will be easier (fortunately it has learning material and examples).

Texture mapping and editing options

With the environment you can create very detailed objects, with advanced lighting tools, texture effects (for transparency), create bumps and 2D mapping, among other options. But if you need to prepare objects from Dead Deer and then work on them in another platform, you can export them in the following formats: 3DS, ASC or PCB.

With Dead Deer you can generate models and 3D objects with an incredible finish, but the most important thing is to give life to those inert elements through its animation utilities and scripts. Thanks to its tools, novice users who are trying to make their first steps in the world of design, in the creation of video games, and in 3D animation will be able to model in 3D.
