Overview

Argon offers entry-level 3D modeling without the commitment of high-end professional packages. It contains the same solid and surface modeling, rendering engine and animation tools found in Cobalt and Xenon, but without the high-end mechanical design and extreme productivity features you may not need yet.

For both Macintosh and Windows, Argon lets you model and render with such a straightforward interface that you’ll forget you’re using a computer. Intended for those needing precision 3D modeling without cumbersome parametric history.

Highlights

Argon – speed designs from concept to profit with unmatched flexibility and power:

Class-A NURBS surfaces, ACIS solids and intuitive wireframe are in one seamless package.
Unique Organic Workflow design process lets you work any way you choose.
Non-modal interface lets you switch between modeling techniques and approaches on the fly.
Dynamic dimensioning for rapid modifications to your engineering drawings.
More than 30 professional translators included FREE.
