Using C3D Vision, software developers can customize visualization parameters of displayed 3D geometric models in their applications. C3D Vision allows developers to control rendering quality of geometric models by using advanced math, software and hardware means so that It improves large-assembly performance.

C3D Vision yields new opportunities for managing 3D scenes, animations, provides ready-to-use tree for 3D models and interactive tools for scene manipulation. All of these functions became an integral part of modern design products.

C3D Vision capabilities:

  • Render any polygonal representation
  • User interaction with the model
  • Camera control to display the scene
  • Adding annotation objects
  • SW/HW accelerated visualization
  • Integration with C3D Modeler objects
  • Support for a ranger of video adapters.

Developed for CAD/CAM/CAE/BIM

The visualization module is intended for CAD and similar applications. C3D Vision provides a range of tools for quick software development:

  • Object search, filtering by type and primitives
  • Search for model objects under the cursor
  • Handles and manipulators to interact with the model
  • Measurements: linear, radial, and angular dimensions.

Integrated Environment

C3D Vision is closely integrated with the C3D Modeler geometric kernel. To automatically generate scene graphs based on mathematical models, developers now need to call just one function. There is the option to calculate polygonal models for visualization objects (based on mathematical representations of the geometry) in synchronous or multithreading mode.

Integrated Environment

Performance optimization

For high performance with scenes and large models:

  • Hardware acceleration
  • Estimating the visibility of the scene objects by specifying object sizes in screen pixels
  • Estimating the visibility of the off-screen objects
  • Adjustable LOD (levels of detail)
