VizUp Streamline Professional Home and Student

This application helps reduce the number of polygon used in rendering a 3D model.

VizUp Streamline enables you to reduce the number of polygons in a complex 3D model. When using accurate models for complex objects in virtual reality or gaming environment it is necessary that the objects can be rendered in real time. In these environments the objects assume different positions and they need to be rendered quickly enough. In a scene containing several objects the processing demand becomes unmanageable. One solution is to reduce the number of polygons used in creating each of these objects yet retaining the reasonable accuracy in the look and feel of them. This tool helps do that. The end result of the reduction should be 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. The process of reduction is extremely simple and doesn`t require much technical savvy. VizUp automatically picks all necessary parameters without any manual intervention required. The tool will support Wavefront, OBJ, VRML2 and StereoLitho (STL) file formats.

The application compresses the model for all possible ratios at once. So that you can simply pick the one that looks best, no iterations are necessary. You no longer have to restart polygon reduction each time for 10%, 20%, 30%, and other ratios. The tool deletes some vertices when compressing, but retains the co-ordinates of all the other vertices so that you do not face any problems with texture mapping operations. If you are into these VRML/gaming space this could be a very useful tool.

VizUp Streamline 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. 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. Supports Wavefront .OBJ, VRML2 and StereoLitho (STL) file formats.
Unique to VizUp is that it compresses the model for all possible ratios at once. This means you can see the effect of any compression level instantly with a click on the corresponding ratio button. Thanks to this, you no longer have to restart polygon reduction each time for 10%, 20%, 30%, and other ratios. Switch between different compression ratios, compare the resulting models and select the one that fits your requirements.
Another good thing about VizUp is its unique ability to maintain the visual fidelity of the model even at high compression ratios. In compressing a model, VizUp deletes some vertices, but the coordinates of the remaining vertices do not change. Thanks to this, there are minimal distortions during texture mapping, as texture coordinates of the vertices remain the same. However if you find that the resulting model doesn't look well, you can refine it by using the VizUp's optimization algorithm. This makes the model look very smooth.
