Virtual Reality / Interactive Walk-through

Anonymous

Hi everyone

My firm recently purchased ZERMATT, which works effortlessly with ArchiCAD to generate interactive walk-throughs from a 3D model.

Apart from ZERMATT, does anyone know if there are similar softwares out there that does something like that, with greater realism in terms of image quality? Thanks!

Just got Zermatt a couple of weeks ago.

I think it is brilliant.

How long have we been waiting for this!!!

And what a huge hit with the clients!

I have a colleague who has had it for 5 or so months and he enthused me.

I havn't figured out how to turn on the sun yet?

The instructions are few and incredibly cryptic!!!

And Zermatt havn't replied to my emails of two weeks ago! yet!

I though the Zermatt file would be perfect to pass on to the Structural Engineer, Storm Water Consultant, Landscape Designer, etc. so they can see the project more comprehensively, and refer back to the 3D model as much as they like, but not one of these guys has a computer that will run the Zermatt file!!

If you want to get realtime walk-through with good image quality + interactivity + realtime editability + web 3D navigation, without having to program ...try Vitruvian Studio 1.0. It is a professional tool which improves (one click process) the VRML generated by ArchiCAD (Graphisoft) and transforms ArchiCAD 3D scenes in optimum interactive Web 3D walk-through within minutes.
Examples and demo version are available at http://www.vitruvian-studio.com

No, but almost every kid has...
I don't know why alot of companies always buy the most expensive cad-graphiccard when a normal gamecard for £100 often is more than enough.
