[@Mac] It should work fine on that. Keep the installer handy, I know of no reason why it shouldn’t work. Use it myself on Windows 7 Pro 64bit. Also on Windows 10.
What’s your antivirus?
[@Catherine Albert] Seeing that it’s worked for others, probably something on your PC preventing it. Perhaps the antivirus? What’s your antivirus?
Some a/v have had false positive alerts in the past (back in the days of v8), not sure.[@m33858] You’re welcome – 你很欢迎。 :-)
[@Gylmer] Thanks, glad you like it. There is also a version that supports working on animations and video clips. It’s known as the Howler edition, PD Howler. It is also on Steam. If some of your friends are game developers they surely are on Steam. http://www.thebest3d.com/howler/steam
[@cadelson] Please don’t let it be a best kept secret. Sure it’s not perfect at everything but we continue to make improvements, and we’d love to see artwork you create if you post it somewhere. We also show some on the Dogwaffler of the Moment, aka the DOTM pages, http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/dotm – I hope it inspires.
[@beergas] Glad you already had v9.2, because v9.6 had tons of new features in the 3D Designer, especially. Actually starting with 9.5. See this as a summary of what’s new in 9.5

Ok, so this is from the Howler edition, just ignore anything related to animation & video. That will give you an idea about what’s in PD Artist.
Any ‘Anima’ option in any filter, that’s Howler.
Any filter in Filter>Animation, that’s Howler.
Any option in the Animation menu, that’s Howler.
Keyboard shortcuts like painting with animbrush while holding ALT key down to paint with video on video, that’s Howler.Pretty much anything else is available on both Howler AND Artist edition.

Also, if you like to stay informed of new updates for v10 or priors, including some add-on modules on 9.6, check the newsletters. http://www.thebest3d.com/dogwaffle/newsletter
In 9.6 there was a bug in the exporter for Wavefront OBJ format from 3D Designer. We mad ea patch for it. (now integrated in v10 of course). Well ok it wasn’t a bug, rather a lack of feature. But good to have if you create landscapes that you want to export to OBJ format for rendering in other 3D tools such as Carrara, Lightwave, and also in games. My preferred workflow metod is to use the eroded heightmap and have the terrain re-created in those other tools, which tends to rebuild the terrain seurface in a more optimal way, but your mileage may vary.
Also, if you’re in Windows 10, there’s an app included called 3D Builder. It can open and view the OBJ files coming from 3D Designer export. Very slick!
If you are having trouble with install, bear in mind that we have had trouble with several Antivirus programs in the past. I am not aware of any current conflicts, but they are bound to exist. Keep in mind that AV programs are designed to keep software from installing. You may have to make an exception with your AV in that case. We also have some known limitations with running on Windows XP.
I consider this offer a scam in order to get free publicity – it wouldn’t download after liking it on Google. These issues should be checked before being allowed on this site.
