Datasheet
Patchwork3D CAD edition imports your models in a wide variety of formats. It incorporates powerful geometric engines for ensuring the best possible exploitation of your CAD data.
The real-time interactive rendering of Patchwork3D uses an illumination model based on high-dynamic spherical environments for optimal image quality.
Patchwork3D calculates the interactions of light with materials, reproducing numerous complex properties such as grain and multilayer materials.
The ultra-rapid computation of very high definition images and of animations enables direct integration of your graphic elements with conventional communication tools.
The two modules of Patchwork3D increase your productivity by separating the importing and optimizing of CAD models, on the one hand (Shaper), and the work concerning the dressing and presentation of products, on the other hand (Matter).
Patchwork3D exploits to the fullest extent the latest generation of graphic cards to provide a highly fluid interactive display with breathtaking realism.
Exploit your 3D data
Patchwork3D recognizes many CAD 3D formats.
Native importing of the commonest CAD 3D formats facilitates the importing of your data and dispenses with the intermediate steps of file conversion.
The Shaper module of Patchwork3D offers many tools for working on your models. You can reorient surfaces, modify their triangulation, group surfaces, move their pivot point or define the parameters for the unfolding of surfaces for the application of materials.
Define the lighting of your scene
The illumination of the scene is essential for obtaining good rendering of the materials.
Create lighting environments suited to your scenes. Specific tools allow you easily to position in space the various light sources that light up your products.
Numerous parameters allow you to make precise adjustments to your lighting. Wide light sources throw soft shadows that improve the ambience of the scene.
The lighting preview is computed in real time, which allows you to position the various light sources very easily.
Fashion the esthetics of your products
Test and confirm the impact of your products before manufacturing them.
Modify the aspect of your products during project reviews. Personalize your products according to your markets. Create images suited to your communication.
Simulate an unlimited number of virtual prototypes by modifying the models, the materials and the colors.
Patchwork3D uses the most common CAD formats to import your 3D data.
