quick3D

FAST 3D file format viewer and converter, with advanced features.

quick3D(r) 3.0 is a complete 3D file format viewing and converting solution, with the ability to freely convert between all supported 3D file format types. For conversions, quick3D(r) creates output that is as close to a 1:1 relationship with the original file as possible. Low-level control over a file's data and properties are provided through menu commands, or they can be automated using the command-line interface.

Unlike typical Windows software, quick3D(r) is extremely small and efficient. With a total size of less than 1 mb, the program loads files with blazing speed. This makes quick3D(r) the ideal 3D file viewer.

Now with auto-update ability! Be confident that your copy of the software is always up to date.
Includes 3D hardware support.

Continuing with a tradition of efficient and extremely fast software, this version introduces advanced features currently unavailable in the 3D software market. In addition to the long awaited 3D file format conversion and command-line interface features, version 3.0 provides an intuitive interface for processing file data including scale, texture maps, surface properties, and other details. The real-time rendering engine has also been improved for an even faster frame rate, higher display quality, and ease of use.
The ability to freely convert between the various major and minor 3D file formats with extremely high accuracy is quick3D 3.0’s most anticipated new feature. Twenty of the most important file formats in today’s market are now supported for import and export. While most 3D converters on the market often obscure and alter important data during a conversion, quick3D 3.0 creates output that represents the original file as accurately as is possible within the constraints of the destination file format. Low-level control over a file’s data and properties are provided through menu commands, or can be automated using the command-line interface. Included are tools for changing a file’s scale, vertex normals, texture maps, and surface properties, among others.
This version also introduces a command-line based user interface, which allows users to bypass the regular graphical interface. This is ideal for users working in a command-line operating environment, as well as for scripting 3D conversions and related tasks in an automated system.
Product support has been improved with the addition of an auto-update system. Now users can be confident that they will always be using the latest and greatest version of the software. quick3D developers have also been known to add full support for additional file formats based on a single user’s request. quick3D’s design and development has always been user driven.
In addition to the release of the new software version, improved forms of quick3D’s base file formats have been released to the public. In doing so, users of quick3D are guaranteed access to a generalized 3D format, regardless of the mix of formats used for authoring and modeling. A specification of this format can be found at the quick3D web site, enabling developers to use the file formats in their own programs.
There are two versions of quick3D available, the free quick3D 3.0 Viewer and the $189.00 full version of quick3D 3.0. These two products are exactly the same, except that quick3D 3.0 Viewer does not have export features and does not have a command-line interface.

 
Viewing 3D Files
 

There are many ways to open 3D files with quick3D for fast and easy viewing.

  • Select Open... from the File menu.
  • Use one of the Recent Reads or Recent Writes menus.
  • Drag a file from a Windows folder.
  • Use a quick3D shell extension.




Converting

Translating a file into a different 3D format is accomplished in just a few easy steps.   quick3D can also do groups of file format conversions using the command line interface.

  1. Select Save As... from the File menu.
  2. Choose a destination file format and filename.



To quickly open the newly saved file, use the Recent Writes menu under the File menu, as illustrated below.

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 then is as follows:

  quick3D Professional
    This is our flagship product.  It supports the full range of 3D file formats, major and obscure, and can freely convert among them. Translations include geometry, materials, textures, and animation*. quick3D Professional also includes advanced features, such as a command-line interface for scripting and automation.
  quick3D Geometry
    Supports viewing for the full range of 3D file formats, as well as geometry conversion for all but the most obscure formats.
  quick3D Viewer
    The ultimate 3D file viewing utility. This time-saving program supports viewing for the full range of file formats.
  Usage
   

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.  


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.
