View2Vector

View2Vector is a complex and efficient software solution whose main purpose resides in offering you the ability of migrating 3D models into 2D vectors, supporting a wide range of input and output formats for processing.

Appearance-wise, the application is not particularly attractive or impressive, but it does the job without too much problem and proves accessible even for the less knowledgeable individuals.

The main window of View2Vector allows you to open the file you wish to work with, being able to analyze it from various angles and zoom levels, before exporting it to a different format.

In terms of input formats, the utility is capable of working with EASM, EPRT, EDRW, STL, OFF, PLY and OBJ files. Once loaded, your file can be zoomed in and out using the mouse cursor wheel, while from the ‘Rotate’ menu, you can select a different angle for looking at the design: ‘Front’, ‘Right’, ‘Back’, ‘Left’, ‘Top’ or ‘Bottom’, depending on your needs.

As for export options, View2Vector enables you to save the files to STL-A or STL-B, PDF, DXF or PLY formats, whichever best suits your needs. At the same time, it lets you print TGA and JPG files.

From the ‘View’ menu, you can customize certain aspects of the way in which your files are displayed. As such, you are able to change the ‘Background’ type or color, as well as use a preferred JPG picture for this purpose, should you think it better emphasizes elements in the input 3D model.

Moreover, you can resort to several available ‘Shaders’ from a dedicated menu and apply them to the drawing you are viewing, for instance ‘Cloud’, ‘EnvMap’, Wood’, ‘Small Brick’ and others.

View2Vector is a useful and practical program that, aside from allowing you to display various 3D models on your PC, also enables you to export them to other formats, thus letting you work with them more easily and without having to resort to heavy or expensive software.
