MacroModel

MacroModel was an early 3D modeling application from Macromedia that could be used in conjunction with MacroMind Three-D.

Product history
MacroModel was a successor to Swivel 3D that was developed for Macintosh by MacroMind-Paracomp. The application was designed by Young Harvill, who led the engineering team. It supported spline-based editing and conversion to mesh geometry. It was released in 1992 by newly-formed Macromedia. Some of the graphics in the early CD-ROM game Myst were produced with MacroModel.

Version 1.5 added support for Windows in June 1993. This version was included with Macromedia Director Multimedia Studio.

Version 1.5.3 shipped on August 1, 1994 and added native support for PowerPC processors to run up to 4 times faster on Power Macintosh computers.

MacroModel was succeeded by Macromedia Extreme 3D on January 31, 1996.
