Visualize, analyze and modify 3D models. Insert interactive 3D views directly into PowerDoc documents. Create impressive snapshots and save them in popular 2D graphics formats.

Overview

3D Viewer is a new cross-platform utility for viewing, manipulating and inspecting 3D models that can be loaded into your D-Type powered applications or stored inside your D-Type PowerDoc documents. It's a great companion to D-Type 3D Rasterizer and an indispensable tool when you need to test your models in the “real” world.

Features

• Open 3D models in D-Type or STL format. Support for other 3D formats will be added over time.
• View 3D models from any camera position or angle using a perspective or orthographic projection. Move the camera around and zoom in to see the details.
• View 3D models with or without anti-aliasing.
• View 3D models using ambient or point lighting with an optional distant fog effect.
• Transform 3D models using a 4x4 transformation matrix.
• Shade 3D models using a number of face shading methods.
• Experiment with acceleration extras: Back-Face Culling, Imprecise Z-Axis Clipping, Coarse Surface Intersections, Coarse Textures, Low Resolution Textures.
• Save As D-Type Model or STL File.
• Export To D-Type PowerDoc, PDF, SVG, PNG or JPEG format.
• Run the utility on Windows, macOS or Linux.
• Launch the utility from PowerDoc Editor and insert interactive 3D views directly into the active PowerDoc document.
