6、ced features include physics simulation, pathfinding routines, database connectivity and networking support. This book is your guide to Quest3D. It offers both theory and practical examples in the form of step by step tutorials. After reading this manual, you should be well on your way to creating a
7、lmost any interactive 3D scene imaginable. Welcome to the wonderful world of Quest3D!What is Quest3D?Quest3D is a software package to develop real-time 3D applications. It is used to create architecture visualizations, computer based training programs, digital entertainment and many other real-time
8、3D based programs. What are the main features / capabilities of Quest3D? Quest3D uses a graphical approach to application authoring. You do not need have any programming skills to use it. It allows you to take your 3D models, textures and many other types of assets and turn them directly into an exe
9、cutable or web page. Quest3D comes with a huge set of functions and features. HDR rendering, a dynamics engine, path finding, skinned meshes, HLSL shading, network synchronization, database connectivity and optional LUA scripting are just some of the features. The good news is that no royalties have
10、 to be paid for any products you create. Each development computer requires a single usage license and that is all you will have to pay. What are the system requirements of Quest3D? Software: Quest3D runs on Windows 98, 2000, XP and Vista platforms with DirectX 9 installed. Hardware: Intel Pentium I
11、II or Higher or AMD Athlon processor, 512MBytes RAM, CD-ROM Drive, Hardware accelerated DirectX compatible graphics card and 1024x768 display resolution. What graphics cards are supported Quest3D supports all 3D cards that support DirectX 9 the performance and available feature set may vary per card
12、. Can I extend Quest3D? You can write custom Channels in Quest3D with the free Quest3D SDK, or write scripts in LUA. What kind of modeling capability is included with Quest3D?Quest3D is not a modeling tool. This means that you will have to import your meshes and animations from other programs. What
13、kind of models can I use with Quest3D? There are three ways to get your models and animation into Quest3D. First of all you can use our excellent .x importer. There are .x export plug-ins available for many 3D programs. The second method is to use Okino Polytrans which allows transfer of a broad ran
14、ge 3D formats directly into Quest3D. Polytrans is separate 3D format conversion software which should be purchased separately. When Polytrans is installed, Quest3D will automatically offer the many extra import options. The final method is to use the excellent Quest3D export platform. This exporter
15、is currently only available for 3D Studio MAX but it offers the easiest way to export your scenes directly to Quest3D. Later, the Quest3D export platform will also be made available for Sketchup, Maya and Solidworks. For more information see: Exporting What can be imported?Quest3D imports polygon ge
16、ometry, skinning (up to 4 weights per vertex), vertex colors, multiple texture coordinates, textures, animations, cameras and lights. When you use a .x exporter that exports two UV sets Quest3D will import them. The Quest3D export platform provides the easiest transfer of models which use multiple t
17、exture sets such as light maps and color maps. Light maps can be generated by many almost any lighting software and then transferred to Quest3D. Supported texture formats are TGA, BMP, DDS, JPG and PNG. Supported sound formats are WAV and MP3. Who uses Quest3D? Quest3D is used worldwide by companies
18、 and institutions both small and large. It is mostly used for architecture visualization and training but other markets are quickly gaining ground. Educational institutions use Quest3D for teaching, development and research. The final products range from executables that run on the web or install on
19、 a computer to large dedicated systems. The largest setups are used in VR simulators and other setups that require multiple computers. What makes Quest3D unique is its ability to provide the flexibility of traditional programming methods for users that are akin to design and graphics. Compared to pr
