Evolve

Unrivaled Design Flexibility on both PC and Mac!

What is Evolve?

Evolve is a high quality 3D Hybrid Modeling and Rendering environment that enables industrial designers to evaluate, research and visualize various designs faster than ever before. Evolve runs on both Mac OS X and Windows.

Evolve 2017 introduces multiple new enhancements including:

  • New Planar and Radial Symmetry tools.
  • New length parameter for the Line tool and Rounded Polyline tool.
  • Improved Curve Offset tool to work directly on surface edges.
  • Added Depth Channel on rendered tiff images to create depth of field.
  • New and improved import/export for SVG, PDF 2D, DWG, and DXF formats.

Why Evolve?

Unrivaled Flexibility

Evolve allows its users to mix and match modeling techniques on the fly without additional plugins. These tools give users the flexibility to create complex freeform shapes with polygonal modeling, maintain technical precision with solid modeling, and use traditional tools like blends and sweeps all within one tool, in perfect harmony.​

Multiple Concepts in Minutes

Due to Evolve's unparalleled flexibility and construction history, Evolve users can quickly create and explore multiple iterations and make changes on the fly without any rework. Evolve enhances creativity by letting designers drive the design, not the software driving the designer.

Beautiful Presentation

Evolve features industry-leading integrated rendering. Use Evolve's built-in rendering to create stunning photo-realistic images directly inside the modeling window without exporting to third-party tools.

Evolve Features

Best-in-class Construction History​

Unlimited construction history provides real-time updates when modifications are ​made.

Polygonal Modeling

Evolve features an advanced polygonal modeler with support of n-side polygons.It is possible to create and extrude polygons, split faces and edges, refine, decimate, and perform many other operations.

Real-Time Photo Realistic Rendering

Take advantage of a truly comprehensive rendering system integrating all industry-leading rendering techniques.

Advanced NURBS Modeling​

Evolve uses NURBS (Non Uniform Rational B-Splines) as its geometry type. This curve and surface definition method offers the greatest flexibility and precision. ​

Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineer with features including fit points, PointCloud, Planar Clouds and Curves from PointCloud

Animation

Take your design presentations to the next level by creating photo realistic animations. Create videos or Quicktime VR movies to communicate complex ideas, or import H3D files to produce stunning simulations.
