RasterVect 18.0.3

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

RasterVect v. 18.0.3If you want to edit a raster file in your CAD program, you first have to convert it to a vector file. RasterVect does just that, transforming paper drawings or raster images into a vector format. Raster images can be imported by scanning original paper drawings. There is WIA and TWAIN support for importing from all scanners. The target vector formats (DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS and AI) are supported by most CAD applications that use vector graphics, such as AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw. There are viewing tools like zooming, scrolling and color selection. Features: Recognizes orthogonal and inclined lines, arcs and circles; Has four various conversion methods (centerlines, outlines etc); Has modes SNAP, ORTHO and OSNAP; Keeps scale of an initial drawing; Forms correct corners at crossing lines, arcs and circles; Can recognize color images or transform their to black-and-white for the subsequent recognition; Can correct a turn angle of an initial raster drawing; Has despeckle filters; Has Macros and Batch Mode; Has vector and raster editing features; Supports various raster formats, such as BMP, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and so on; has own combined (raster+vector) format. Designed to work on all Windows platforms, RasterVect saves a lot of time. It is a replacement for traditional tracing and digitizing. It does provide a way to getting a paper drawings into your CAD program for quick and easy editing.

VizUp Streamline Professional Home and Student 4.3.7

VizUp Streamline Professional Home and Student v. 4.3.7VizUp Streamline 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 perfect 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. Supports Wavefront .OBJ, VRML2 and StereoLitho (STL) file formats.

Unique to VizUp is that it compresses the model for all possible ratios at once. This means you can see the effect of any compression level instantly with a click on the corresponding ratio button. Thanks to this, you no longer have to restart polygon reduction each time for 10%, 20%, 30%, and other ratios. Switch between different compression ratios, compare the resulting models and select the one that fits your requirements.

Another good thing about VizUp is its unique ability to maintain the visual fidelity of the model even at high compression ratios. In compressing a model, VizUp deletes some vertices, but the coordinates of the remaining vertices do not change. Thanks to this, there are minimal distortions during texture mapping, as texture coordinates of the vertices remain the same. However if you find that the resulting model doesn`t look well, you can refine it by using the VizUp`s optimization algorithm. This makes the model look very smooth.

VizUp Streamline Professional Business 4.3.7

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

VizUp Streamline Professional Business v. 4.3.7Models that you create with the help of 3D modeling tools, as well as models converted from CAD software can be extremely complex. These models may consist of many hundreds of thousands of polygons and be practically impossible to process in real-time visualization.

VizUp Streamline Professional has the basic set of functionalities. It 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 perfect 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. Supports Wavefront .OBJ, VRML 2.0/97 and StereoLitho (.STL) file formats.

VizUp Professional is an ad hoc polygon reduction and optimization system that enables you to reduce the number of polygons in a complex 3D model and optimize its geometry. The end result of such compression is a model with a well-balanced level of details and size, which can be used in virtual reality and real-time visualization systems.

With VizUp Professional in place, the process of polygon reduction is downright simple and does not require any advanced knowledge of CAD or CAE. You may completely rely on its artificial intelligence, which is able to pick the best compression parameters for a particular model and perform the reduction automatically.

VizUp Streamline Ultimate Home and Student v. 4.3.7VizUp Streamline Ultimate is designed for optimization of complex 3D models (CAD/CAM/CAE systems and others) for real-time visualization. It is a 3D reduction and optimization tool that speeds rendering and provides enhanced control over a 3D model`s visual quality. The product allows you to achieve the finest quality in optimization and polygon reduction, which can be compared to manual work of a designer. Supports Wavefront .OBJ, VRML 2.0/97 and StereoLitho (.STL) file formats.

VizUp`s revolutionary reducing technology makes it possible for manufacturing companies to bring complete product ranges to life on the internet – with no remodelling required. This unique technology is allowing companies to utilize existing CAD-data for 3D product presentations or for virtual training scenarios.

VizUp Ultimate is a software specially developed to meet needs Industrial Designers within the manufacturing industry. By using VizUp designer can evaluate the design concept in real time. Designers can evaluate different design alternatives and freely rotate the product together as well zoom in on specific details. This can all be accomplished with the same visual quality that today is realized with the assistance of renderings.

There`s no parameters tuning necessary to process highly optimized reduction algorithms. This significantly reduces 3D file size and download time. It offers support for the VRML format. VizUp will bring your products to life in the real-time visualization directly from existing CAD-data!

You will discover a unique option – “Quality reduction”, which allows you to use all the capacity of our technology to achieve the best results. You get a low-poly model that retains the visual fidelity of a high-poly model. VizUp Batch Mode saves time of a highly-paid specialist, who creates industrial or architectural real-time presentations, or builds 3D models for industrial systems of virtual reality.
