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.
Both Windows and Mac versions are shipped on the same media.
What's New
- Up to 25% faster on zooms, pans and selects—the things you do most
- Support for the latest operating systems including Mac 10.14 Mojave and Windows 10
- Support for the latest DXF/DWG up to AutoCAD 2019
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and feature enhancements
