Download Our 3D Real Time Viewer
 
for Displaying Vehicle Motion Paths

This 3D real time viewer has been written to view vehicle motion paths produced by our ANALYSE program, and is offered here as a free download.

For operation, it requires a computer fitted with a hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics card. While the program can be run using software OpenGL support (as provided with Windows 95 OSR2 and 98) the display performance is so slow as to make operation impractical. Faster computers will give better replay performance. Supported cards include the nVidia TNT, TNT2 and GeForce range, FireGL display cards and a number of others.

OPERATION

To run the motion you are provided with a row of video recorder type control buttons. The green arrow icon starts the motion. The red square icon stops the motion. The blue arrow icons to either side move forward or backward by a single frame. The blue barred arrow icons move to the beginning or end of the motion path.

If support for a sound card is available on your computer the Viewer will play sound, varying in frequency according to the vehicle speed. The sound replay can be turned on or off by the control buttons on the button bar.

You can change your viewpoint of the vehicle dynamically at any time, either when the motion is playing or while it is stopped. The viewpoint is controlled by the Mouse.

A Porsche 928, open wheel racing car and a rectangular box are provided with the Viewer, together with a scene comprising a ground plane with a reference grid on it.
