Strata Live 3D CX

The revolution begins here with Strata Live 3D CX 2. Put realtime 3D in front of your clients and customers. Strata Live 3D CX makes it easy to prep your models, add interactivity, then output to the web and PDF. YouTube style embedding is easy with the new cloud hosting option. Just use the simple "Export to Web" command. This revolution will be online and in 3D.

·ÊAutomatically includes easy-to-use interactive Navigation Bar

·ÊAutomatically includes unique "Measure" feature

·ÊAutomatically compresses all textures to ensure best performance on all hardware

·ÊUses proprietary optimization to produce far smaller PDF files (typically 50-70% smaller than other tools)

·ÊMost robust U3D compressor in the industry - easily handles models that crash other tools

·ÊOnly solution that supports enhanced, dynamic lighting models not found in U3D

·ÊOnly solution that supports real-time texture and color swaps

Web Viewer 3D Capabilities

·ÊDedkov compression produces the smallest 3D models across the largest range of model types (from photo-real high-texture models, to untextured scanned models)

·ÊJPEG, GIF, and Wavelet-streaming textures

·ÊDynamic textures can be generated by a Meson program:

·ÊTo embed 3D scenes onto texture in 3D scenes (for example, to show a moving scene on a camcorder model's view screen)

·ÊTo use rendered text in the 3D scene (for example, to simulate the menu system of a mobile phone)

·ÊReal-time, dynamically generated shadows

·ÊPerspective-correct, bi-linear filtered textures of unlimited dimensions

·ÊMIP-map-style continuous texture anti-aliasing

·Ê32-bit ARGB, 16- and 12-bit YCrCb, and 8-bit Y (constant CrCb) texture pixel formats, with optional error-diffusion dither

·ÊPhotoshop-compatible color curves applied to texture images in real time

·ÊReal-time edge anti-aliasing

·ÊStable-scene 256x over-sample progressive anti-aliasing

·ÊPerspective-correct Phong shader with no performance penalty

·ÊSpecular highlights and chrome shading model (to convey shininess without the need for cumbersome reflection maps)

·ÊDynamically-generated flexible objects (elliptical hermite lofts), for modeling wires, ribbon cables, straps, paper, etc.

·ÊIllustration rendering mode automatically turns 3D models into "sketches". Support for both line drawing over realistic shading, and line drawing over flat color

·ÊReuse the animated Master Model in 3D PDF, and on the web

Web Viewer 2D Capabilities

·ÊAlpha channel compositing of an arbitrary numbers of layers

·ÊHot areas, including pickable pixels, and rectangular areas

·ÊMouse cursor control

·ÊContext (right click) menu

·ÊUnicode support for multi-lingual applications

·ÊAnti-aliasing text engine with CSS-like font control, drop shadow generation, and internationalized word-wrapping capability

·ÊMulti-state images and text (for mouse-over or push-button effects, for example)

·ÊSeparate images for color/alpha information (for example, to use a JPEG image for color, and a grayscale GIF for the alpha channel)

·ÊImage tiling (primarily for repeating backgrounds)

·ÊRotation, scale, skew, bilinear-filtering, and over-sampling of any 2D element, including rendered text or even the rendered 3D scene
