• PolyMesh

  This plugin features a polygonal mesh (4 or more edges sided faces) that can be created end edited within AoI.

• Render Utilities

  This plugin makes it possible to save/load renderer configurations and load a specific configuration at startup. It also includes a 'batch mode' where several renderings to be carried out one after the other can be specified. Rendering task priority can also be set using the batch mode.

• Solid Tool

  Editing Tool for objects that must conform to the limitations of solids.

• STL Translator

  Export/Import facilities for STL files.

• Telefish Plugin

  This plugin provides a collection of geometry importers, a heightfield generation tool, and a number of camera filters.

• Tree and Plant Designer

  This plugin allows to generate realistic trees and plants using recursive procedures.

• VectorRenderer

  This plugin is a Vector renderer. Intead of generating photo-realistic images, the objects are rendered as wireframes or polygons.

• XML Translator

  This plugin contains an XML Export/Importer. An entire AOI scene file may be dumped to XML. The XML generated is not restricted to a specific industry standard, rather the format ensures that every data value in the scene is represented in the XML.
