Vizup Desktop Home and Student

This is a tool that helps optimize CAD models between less number of vertices and visual realism.

Vizup is an ad hoc polygon optimization and reduction system. It will help you reduce the number of polygons in a complex 3D model yet retain the quality and appearance of the original. You would be able to choose from different trade-offs. The end result of the reduction is a 3D model with a well-balanced level of details and size. Why that is needed is that, you need real-time rendering of models in real-time systems like games, virtual reality, etc. In CAD model, the more number of polygons and hence the larger number of vertices is used, the model realism improves. In contrast, while realism is needed in games & virtual reality systems, larger number of vertices imposes a computational burden. In these systems as a 3D element is moved in real-time, immediate re-rendering is required. Larger the number of vertices, larger is the computational load.

This tool, addressed to game developers, architects, and 3D designers, provides an easy way to reduce polygons and optimize 3D models, and presentations for publishing on the Web. Vizup simplifies development of games and virtual reality. It is compatible with Wavefront .OBJ, VRML 2.0/97 and StereoLitho (STL) file formats. This has a simple and easy to use interface. It is intuitive enough that most users should get familiar with it quite easily. Getting productive with it should not take much time. You can have multiple reductions done at the same time and then take a call on which reduced model makes the best trade off in your project. This is an excellent product; simply adopt it if you have a need.

Vizup is an ad hoc polygon optimization and reduction system that enables you to reduce the number of polygons in a complex 3D model while retaining the quality and appearance of the original. The end result of the reduction is a 3D model with a well-balanced level of details and size, which is perfect for the use in virtual reality and real-time visualization systems. Supports Wavefront .OBJ, VRML 2.0/97 and StereoLitho (STL) file formats.
Vizup is designed specially for game developers, architects, and 3D designers. With this software in place, they get a pain-free way to reduce polygons and optimize 3D models, and presentations before publishing them on the Web. Also, Vizup simplifies LOD generation for games and virtual reality. The best thing about this software is that it saves you from time-consuming routine operations and lets you put your energy into creativity. The product has a "Fast reduction" option to let you optimize 3D models quickly and effectively select the necessary level of reduction for many models. The learning curve is minimal, so you can start your first polygon compression project in a few minutes.
Vizup has been designed with the ordinary user in mind. This is reflected in its refreshingly uncomplicated user interface, which has a large 3D viewer window in the center and a toolbar with all necessary commands and options, which are hopefully not many and not difficult to understand.
With the interface like this, it's no wonder a novice user can start the first reduction project in a few minutes. And in doing this, you are not required to spend time on technical documentation. Simply load a sample 3D model of iPaq, which is shipped with Vizup, and learn how to reduce polygons by clicking on the Vizup buttons and seeing what effect each of them delivers. Vizup reduces all your efforts to a single click on the Reduce button. The compression is done automatically.
