Art of Illusion is a free, multiplatform Modeling, Animation and Rendering suite written in the java language. It features a simple, streamlined interface to a broad array of powerful features, including keyframe and pose based animations, as well as a built-in raytracer.

AOI is extensible both through plugins (many are available through our in-application manager) and an integrated scripting environment.
