| VizUp Technology Unveils VizUp 2.2 VizUp Technology unveils VizUp 2.2, a new product family, which embraces VizUp Standard, Professional and Enterprise edition. VizUp is an ad-hoc polygon reduction system that enables you to reduce the number of polygons in a complex 3D model while retaining the quality and appearance of the original. The end result of the reduction is a 3D model with a well-balanced level of details and size, which is made for the use in virtual reality and real-time visualization systems. The process of reduction is extremely simple and doesn't require any advanced knowledge. VizUp automatically picks all necessary parameters without any manual interference on your side. VizUp has a refreshingly uncomplicated user interface, which consists of the 3D viewer in the center and a toolbar with all commands and options ready at hand. Once you loaded a model, you can compress it with a single click on the Reduce button on the toolbar. VizUp performs the compression automatically. The best thing in it is that a model is compressed for all possible ratios at once. This means you can see the effect of any compression level instantly without having to restart polygon reduction each time for 10%, 20%, 30%, and other ratios. Another good thing about VizUp is its unique ability to retain the original look of a model. VizUp doesn't change the coordinates of the vertices and it results in minimal distortions during texture mapping even at high compression ratios. You can examine the result of reduction in 3D from different perspectives and in different visualization modes. This includes displaying a model as a set of textures, a set of smooth surfaces colored according to the material properties, as an object consisting of flat polygons, as a wireframe, or as a set of vertices. VizUp's Features at a Glance: o High quality of complex model optimization; o Extremely simple and user-friendly; o Optimization is performed automatically, no parameter tuning necessary; o Decrease the number of polygons dramatically without loosing quality; o Perform optimization only once - simultaneously for all possible reduction ratios; o Visual control for model tuning during the process of optimization; o Built-in 3D viewer is intuitive and lets you examine your model; o File structure stays the same - comments, text format, etc. do not change; o Supports VRML 2.0/97 file format. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
