Flash 3D export from 3DSOM Pro

3DSOM Pro can now export Flash based static 3D models that you can grab, rotate, spin and zoom. All that is needed to view the models is the popular Adobe Flash Player 9 plugin.

Key features...

  • Easy to use: From 3DSOM Pro you can publish an impressive 3D Flash webpage with a couple of clicks! No Flash authoring tools or scripting knowledge is required.
  • Quick to download: The Flash viewer is under 39K bytes (typically 1 or 2 seconds to download!). The model data is highly compressed (up to 4 times compared to ZIP compressed data).
  • Streamed textures: The texture image data is streamed so that a low resolution version is available quickly. A progress animation is displayed as the model loads.
  • Multi-resolution geometry: For realtime interactivity, two versions of the model can be exported. A lower polygon mesh for interactive rendering and a higher resolution mesh for displaying the stationary model.
  • Customisation: You can supply a Flash movie backdrop and replace the default controls with your own ActionScript movie. Alternatively you can incorporate the 3DSOM Pro Flash movie into a larger Flash document.
  • High quality models: Our Flash 3D rendering engine can support meshes up to 20,000 triangles and textures up to 2880 x 2880.
  • 3DS to Flash conversion: The 3DSOM Pro 3DS import function has been extended to handle more 3DS content. You can now use 3DSOM Pro to convert "texture baked" 3DS models to our Flash or Java formats for presentation on the web.
