Models that you create with the help of 3D modeling tools, as well
as models converted from CAD software can be extremely complex.
These models may consist of many hundreds of thousands of polygons and
be practically impossible to process in real-time visualization.
VizUp is an ad hoc polygon 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.
Decreasing the size of 3D models stored on the Web also lets your
users and customers download them considerably faster. Not only this,
VizUp can be used for effective Level-of-Details (LOD) generation.
The process of reduction is extremely simple and doesn't require any
advanced knowledge. VizUp automatically picks all necessary parameters
without any manual interference on your side.
With VizUp in place, the process of polygon reduction is downright
simple and does not require any advanced knowledge of CAD or CAE.
You may completely rely on its artificial intelligence, which is able
to pick the best compression parameters for a particular model and
perform the reduction automatically.
