AccuTrans 3D description
|
An application designed to provide accurate translation of 3D geometry between the file formats used by many popular modeling programs.
AccuTrans 3D is a powerful and advanced application designed to enable you to open and edit files used by a wide range of modeling software. Positional and rotational information for the 3D meshes is maintained.
Also many material attributes, such as color, index of refraction, reflection, specularity and Phong shading, are transferred between the files. Textures and UV coordinates are supported. The program has been enhanced with additional features to make it more than just a 3D file conversion program. Here are some key features of "AccuTrans 3D":
· Read and Write the following 3D formats: AutoCAD DXF, Imagine, Turbo Silver, LightWave, VideoScape, Sculpt (Amiga), 3D Studio, trueSpace, Wavefront, StereoLithography, VRML (versions 1 and 2), RealiMation (Version 4.1), Lightscape and RenderWare.
· Read an M by N array of XYZ coordinates in an ASCII file and save them as a DXF polyline mesh.
· Write only for POV-Ray 3 files.
· Transfer DEM landscape data between Scenery Animator and VistaPro programs plus write only to the other 3D format files.
· Read only for USGS 1-Degree DEM and USGS GTOPO30 landscapes.
· A DEM editor so that the elevations of a landscape can be changed by painting on a 2D contour map of the landscape.
· Convert a text string using a TrueType font to a 3D outline which can be extruded with thickness. An unlimited number of bevels can be added to the extrusion.
· Convert an IFF or BMP file to a 3D outline which can be extruded with thickness. An unlimited number of bevels can be added to the extrusion.
· Convert an IFF or BMP file to a DEM landscape.
· A batch mode for converting a list of assorted 3D file formats to the same 3D file format.
Conversion of AutoCAD DXF files:
· Virtually unlimited support for DXF files except for solid body entities (ACIS and AME) and external file references.
· Supports Release 10 and higher.
· No restrictions placed on the technician producing the AutoCAD drawing.
· Reads the entire DXF file including sections: HEADER, TABLES, BLOCKS and ENTITIES,
· Unlimited number of layers are supported.
· Select and deselect the layers to be written to the 3D object file.
· Unlimited number of blocks are supported. Blocks can be inserted into blocks.
· Drawings do NOT have to be exploded.
· Any entity that can be extruded can be extruded in any direction.
· Rotations can be in any direction.
· Any entity defined with color will over-ride the color of the layer it is on when saved to Imagine and Sculpt.
· Entity color is as defined in the AutoCAD manual or by the user.
· Special DXF to DXF file transfer module to correct errors in the DXF file.
· Transfer some attributes such as color from one format to another.
· 3D objects can be scaled when read or written to a file.
· Semi-automatic orientation of surface normals so that surfaces will be visible when viewed in 3D Studio, Lightscape, LightWave, RenderWare, VideoScape and VRML.
· Set tags, build hierarchy, set and test joints, and create a key frame based animation sequence for avatars and save as either RenderWare .rwx or trueSpace .cob files for use with the Active Worlds browser. Also save avatars as either 3D Studio .3ds files or VRML 2.0 .wrl files for use with Life Forms. Read and write SEQ files.
Requirements:
· IBM Compatible PC with Pentium / Athlon CPU
· 512 MB RAM minimum
· 1024 x 768 screen size with 32 bit color and a graphics card which supports OpenGL
· 20.0 MB Hard disk space
Limitations:
· 30 days trial What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Added an option that uses the OpenGL view window to convert a 3D mesh to 2D lines which are outlines drawn around the outer edges of all visible layers. The lines will be in the XY plane placed at Z equals zero.
· When converting a DEM landscape to a polygon mesh, an option was added to drop from the mesh those polygons that are just at sea level while keeping all polygons below sea level.
· Added support for using an OpenGL off-screen PBuffer (Pixel Buffer) instead of using the main OpenGL view window when creating images for some use which means that the main OpenGL view window can be partially or completed covered during the operation.
