VizUp Streamline Home and Student

This is software that would help reduce polygons on a given 3D model. That eases use of the model whenever real-time rendering is required.

VizUp is designed for game developers, architects, and 3D designers. It reduces number of polygons used in 3D models, so that wherever required, real-time rendering becomes possible. It is essential that the look and feel of the model is maintained. This program does reductions to various levels and lets you decide the version you like best and likely to be useful at the same time. The end result of the reduction is a 3D model with a well-balanced level of details and size, which is usable in virtual reality and real-time visualization. Formats supported include Wavefront .OBJ, VRML 2.0/97 and StereoLitho (STL). If you were in a hurry or are starting out familiarizing yourself with the program, there is a "fast reduction" mode. The program will give you, what it thinks, is the best optimization results.

Learning time with the program is minimal, the simple interface makes it easy too. It has a large 3D viewer window in the center and a toolbar with the commands and options. The program has a built in model that will help learn reduction of polygons easily.Once the reduced model is ready you are able to move the model around and see how the model is likely to look in a virtual reality or a game situation. Simple mouse movements will let you do this. Additionally you could also pan and zoom the model. If you have started out learning use of 3D models in one of the areas mentioned, then this is a good tool to do so.

VizUp Streamline 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.
