Users of new VizUp Reducer Professional will benefit from faster visualization andcompression of 3D models, improved quality of textures mapping and plenty of otheradditions and enhancements.
Vancouver, Canada. - March 7, 2007: VizUp Technology today announces the release ofversion 2.3 of VizUp Reducer Professional, an ad-hoc 3D model compression andoptimization system. Featuring an advanced compression algorithm, VizUp enablesusers to import a 3D model from external sources, reduce the number of polygons init and export the output to a variety of popular 3D file formats. In polygonreduction, VizUp's artificial intelligence automatically chooses a perfect balancebetween size and details and produces a fantastic fine-looking result. Thanks tothis, users of 3D modelling software will never again spend hours on tuning a modelmanually.
What is Unique in VizUp Reducer Professional?The program is unique thanks to its ability to retain good visual fidelity of a 3Dmodel, regardless of the chosen compression level. Even at 80-90% compressionratios, distortions are minimal since VizUp Reducer Professional does not change thecoordinates of the vertices. Let's say, for example, you have imported a high-poly3D model, which renders too slowly. Polygon reduction in VizUp Reducer Professionalcan compress it from 6 Mb to 1 Mb with absolutely no difference in appearance. Afterreduction, this model can be used for real-time visualization, for example, by adesigner, who would like to evaluate his concept or present it to other people.
Another unique feature in VizUp Reducer is its ability to compress a 3D model forall possible ratios at once. Prior to actual compression, users can see how themodel will look at any level of compression instantly without the need to restartpolygon reduction each time for 10%, 20%, 30% and other ratios. Users can examine amodel from different perspectives and in different visualization modes. A model canbe displayed as a set of textures, a set of smooth surfaces colored according to thematerial, as an object consisting of flat polygons, etc. This will help to choosethe best compression ratio that will meet the users' requirements.
What's New in Version 2.3 ?Improved support of Poser 7 .obj output models.Wavefront OBJ file format is open and has been adopted by other 3D graphicsapplication vendors and can be imported/exported from e-Frontier's Poser, Autodesk'sMaya, Blender, Misfit Model 3D and 3D Studio Max, Hexagon, Newtek Lightwave, etc.
