3D Exploration™ is the apex
of simplicity with an
interface that is quite similar to the interface which
is part of MS Windows Explorer. This style of
design enables web searching, viewing and 3D rendering
in a much more simplistic and manageable manner. 3D Exploration™ supports most popular 2D and 3D file formats
so importing and exporting files created in another
program is a snap. The
Enterprise Edition allows translation between many
different formats with animation included, as well as
publishing to large number of different 3D web formats.
One of the first things I
discovered is how the 3D
navigation tools let you instantly explore 3D objects
and scenes from any angle. This proved to be a serious
advantage for myself in my reviewing the product by
taking some of my own work using 3D Exploration™ to work with
my design.
You can even use 3D
Exploration to present a slide show of a folder's images
or create high quality renderings of 3D objects and
scenes for use in any other graphic applications.
It is extremely fast and
includes Open GL hardware acceleration support. Full
support for the nVidia
GeForce 4 based graphics cards is included for the
fastest highest quality results. Ideal for beginner,
intermediate and professional 3D artists!
The 3D Exploration
Enterprise Edition will allow you to Browse, View,
Render AND Translate! All of the features enabled
for the 3D Exploration Discovery Edition are
included in the Enterprise Edition but the translate
feature is also enabled. Please see below for more
information.

3D Exploration™ is one of
the most innovative as well as simple products I have
reviewed to date when it comes to 3D rendering. A
large number of the 3D rendering software packages I am
reviewing are strictly for people who are very familiar
with 3D rendering and have a massive learning curve.
3D Exploration™ however, is in a class by itself.
It provides the tools and functionality so sorely needed
by the serious professional, while at the same time
providing a structure of design that has a learning
curve that is next to nothing.
3D Exploration™ is by far
one of the best 3D rendering products I have reviewed to
date. Without question, I highly recommend the
incorporation of 3D Exploration™ into your library of
software products you use for 3D rendering.
