A procedural modeler, Acropora combines volumetric modifiers with multi-octave 3D noise sampling to generate detailed surfaces in far less time than conventional surface modeling software. Acropora adopts a less deterministic approach to generating complex, organic shapes by applying sequences of modifiers on large voxelized meshes. The effect is to create an endless, seamless expanse of surface that undulates and changes in a natural way. The resulting meshes contain caves, ridges, overhangs and other natural features that are not possible with height maps. Meshes can then be broken up into segments, with segments further divided into different levels of details.
Just some of the features available:
- A variety of base shapes including sphere, plane, cylinder, torus and others.
- Compound shapes (heightmaps, pillars, caves, weaves)
- Terrain generation tools
- Cave creation tools
- Voxelisation of user imported models (.3DS, .FBX, COLLADA, .OBJ)
- Mesh export to .3DS, .FBX, COLLADA, .OBJ
- 3D texture export of voxel volume to .DDS format
- User-specified volume block and voxel dimensions.
- Over 50+ volume modifiers
- Automatic generation of up to 15 octaves of noise (user-programmable settings include orientation, strength, quality, frequency, phase, and range of influence)
- Extensive voxel and noise editing tools
- Batch processing
- Multiple LOD support
- Intuitive editing and manipulation of very large meshes
- Seamless joining of adjacent meshes
- Mesh decimation, smoothing and tesselation.
- Mesh filtering and vertex blending tools
- Ambient occlusion
- FX effect file support and multitexturing
- Multithreaded CPU support and GPU acceleration (on supported cards)

thanks! this seems awesome!
dude im gonna try it but thanx in advance
TNX!
Is this even running for u guys? I had the program freezing up every second time I try to import an .OBJ…
I had issues with the app (freezing on exporting, save etc). I looked on the app’s site’s forum and the following two things made it work for me:
-restart after installing (and ‘fixing’)
-run the app as an administrator
have fun!!
And many thanks Nobax!!!!!! This is a really interesting area of 3d design
Can’t see the DL links for this. Looks great though.
hey, can we get a new download link? the tinypaste has expired…..womp womp
thanks bros
Ya link is dead, please, this looks good to try.

Hi pals!
The link posted by Raven is broken too.
Could anyone reup this stuff again, please?
Best Regards and many thanks.
