Metacreations Ray Dream Studio 5.5 July 2, 1999
Tested on Win 10 64Bit [set Compatibility mode XP SP3]
For nostalgics...
Metacreations at that time, I was the most favorite company, a completely different interface in all the programs and plugin they worked for.
Ray Dream Studio 5.5 is the essential 3D graphics application, providing a
comprehensive set of professional tools for 3D design and animation.
This exciting new release includes Ray Dream Studio 5.0.2, plus additional
content and plug-in features. Version 5.5 includes spline, polygonal, text
and metaball modelers, with such editing capabilities as boolean operations
and deformations like spikes and twists. Users can apply texture maps or
movies to their models, and even paint directly onto an object. Rendering
options include everything from wireframe to ray tracing, with optional
hand-sketched or cartoon styles. Finally, Ray Dream's animation has full
key-framing capabilities, an advanced physics system and realistic motion
blurs for smooth animations. Users can even drag-and-drop predefined
behaviors like bouncing and spinning directly onto an object.
Ray Dream Studio's best-of-class feature set, compatibility, value,
ease-of-use, and performance make it the clear choice for every graphic
artist, web designer, and multimedia producer.
The first three major revisions were very buggy. By the time of release of version 4, in late 1995, this had improved. In 1996, Ray Dream was acquired by Fractal Design, and in early 1997, Fractal Design merged with MetaTools to form MetaCreations. Versions 5.0 and 5.5 were released by MetaCreations. The software was then merged with its higher-end stepsister, Infini-D, to form Carrara, lending many user interface elements and gaining a better rendering engine. Today, Carrara is maintained by DAZ 3D.
