Real time - sharing with clients - how to? newb

[CRYSTAL GRAPHICS]

None of the gallery examples seem to work. Have you ever looked at Autodesk Showcase.

Exactly what I wanted to suggest. +1 Showcase.

If I remember correctly, Lumion is based on Quest3D, not Unity.

You remember correctly, Lumion is Quest3d. Realis3d is based upon Unity.

Some of our guys use Artlantis

Along the same lines of Lumion is Realis3d. They recently updated their free viewer to support the oculus rift. Considerably less expensive than Lumion...but Lumion has a huge library of diverse content. It is based on Unity, just makes the process a bit simpler. I believe it is still in beta, so there is that to consider also.

EDIT: Would probably be worth the time and effort if you have some to spare to learn the process for bringing content into Unreal Engine 4 since it is so affordable now, and Architectural Visualization is defined as exempt of their royalty charge in their terms of use...and the visuals are typically very impressive.

Thanks beestee, I will enjoy trying to learn something new.

I've upped some of the pdf samples I DL'd from that site a few years back ( http://www.directlight.de/) Worth a look (37mb): http://we.tl/pm470MfOFP

[EDIT: all kudos goes to these guys, seems you can get the above and more of their PDf's here http://www.directlight.de/projects.html, I've fixed the previous link too]

Thanks again!

I remember being impressed by some of the samples using 3d PDFs: http://3dpdf.blogspot.co.uk example 1: http://soid.active-servers.com/pdf/tgv%20lyon.pdf or example2: http://www.aecweb.de/news/pdf/0096-acrobat3db.pdf (on both save to desktop then open)

The other option might be Autodesk Design Review - though I'm unsure how it handles textures (if at all).

The 3d pdf looks quite interesting...first example seems dead, but second one was good. ADR looks worth checking, too, so thanks for the tips.

Thanks, will check it out, too.

Hello

don't know if you already heard about Lumion.
It seems to be a nice piece of software. A bit pricey, though.

Oooh that looks nice, but damned expensive!
Thanks for the link Ale

Hmmm, they all worked for me...I will take a look at Showcase, thank you.

Is Showcase only for use with AutoCAD, Revit, or Inventor?
