Creative Dimension Software Ltd. (Surrey, UK) released 3DSOM Pro 2.1, for creating and presenting 3D models from photographs, and includes the ability to publish 3D models in a new Flash-based web format.
As well as the new Flash 3D web format the software can export models in industry standard 3D formats and also a powerful Java based web 3D presentation solution.
The 3DSOM Pro system takes a number of photographs of a real object taken from different angles. The images are loaded into the software and 3DSOM Pro then constructs a high quality texture mapped model with very little user interaction.
The only requirement to view, grab, spin, and zoom the models is the popular Adobe Flash Player 9 Plugin, which, according to the company, is already installed on the vast majority of PCs.
The software is being used by museums to present 3D online galleries as well as for product visualization, retail design, medical research and teaching, and other graphics and CAD applications.
