Features
  • Wide range of animated objects, fully navigational worlds and tools to choose from to create highly customisable 3D simulations and models.
  • Pupils can easily deconstruct content made by others and learn the techniques required to master animation, linking, timed-events and 3D manipulation.
  • No coding or scripting is required.
  • Exchange rich multimedia content over the Internet without the large file-sizes normally associated with sharing 3D graphics, animation and sounds.
  • Hundreds of 3D shapes, objects and worlds to work with.
  • Includes Software and Online manual plus tutorials & sample projects available from www.kahootz.com.
