What is quick3D?
The quick3D family of
software products are powerful programs that provide an intuitive
interface for viewing, converting, organizing, and applying
operations to your 3D files. You can load a file in
almost any 3D format, and manipulate it in 3D space using quick3D's
real-time rendering engine. Scene display options are
all just a few mouse clicks away. Other features allow
for exporting the model in almost any 3D file format, image file
format, or as an HTML page with preview pictures. A
full-featured command-line interface is included to automate tasks,
or to use quick3D as part of a batch process. quick3D
is small, memory efficient, and fast.
What is the
difference between the three quick3D products?
All quick3D products
include expansive 3D file format support, content creation
features, data manipulation, blazing fast speed, and software
auto-update. The difference between them is as
follows:

How do I convert 3D files into other formats with
quick3D?
quick3D
Professional and quick3D Geometry both have 3D file
format translation features that are as easy to use as selecting
Save... from the File menu. Please refer
to the User's Guide for more
information on converting files.
Is it
possible to use quick3D to view models directly from web
pages?
Yes! Just configure your
browser to use your quick3d.exe file as the default program for 3D
file types. Browser specific instructions will be posted here
soon.

Problems |

|
When I try to start quick3D, I get an error about
OPENGL32.DLL, what's that?
Most likely you are using
Windows 95 and do not have OpenGL installed (it is built into more
recent versions of Windows). More information on OpenGL
can be found at http://www.opengl.org.
quick3D
doesn't work with a certain file, what can I do?
Possible causes for this
are a non-standard entry in the file you are trying to load, a
corrupt file, or a bug in quick3D. For the first two cases, please
make sure your source of the model is reliable. In any case, please
e-mail us the file that is causing the problem, and we will get
right to work on finding out why it causes a problem for
quick3D.
