FAQ about 3D EXplorer Stand-alone Player (royalty free*)


What's the Stand-alone Player for?

The Player is the 3D engine that allows you to explore a 3D world in RealTime. The first time you run it you have to setup few options, regarding video settings and controls. The second time you run it you will directly eXplore the 3D world using the settings you saved. You will always be able to change these settings simply running the program icon named "settings".

Is the player simple to use?

 

As you can see in this preview the player is really simple to use, everyone that will get your 3D projects, will be able to explore it in few seconds. In this way you can distribute it on a CD-ROM or directly on the web.

What's the performance of the 3D Explorer runtime player?

The player is really fast, but the performance could depends on the graphic adapter used, the complexity of the objects and the resolution you choose. We had excellent results starting from a Matrox G200 at 800x600 on a Pentium 133 Mhz. 

Is it necessary a 3D Graphic card?

Yes, starting from the 8.0 version of Directx, Microsoft has removed the software emulation of the 3D chip. Anyway, the emulation wasn't so good.

Is the runtime player compatible with Windows 2000?

Yes, it is compatible with all Win32 OS (Win 9x, ME, 2K, XP, except NT).

(*)What does "Royalty-free" Player mean?

It means that you can distribute your projects and the player as many times you want without any kind of permission, but you have to inform us if you think to distribute it on a commercial CD-ROM (in such a case a little royalty will be asked for distribution of more than 999 copies).

Is it possible to ask for special behaviors of the Player?

Special behavior like jumping, multiple loading of worlds, special effects like smog, third person view... can be required using the 3D eXplorer Custom Service. Also, it is possible to personalize the player with logos, special setup, ecc...

 

You can walk, strafe, fly, zoom, use the mouse or keyboard. You can setup the graphic adapter to use, resolution, color depth, the size of the window (title bar, always on top, resizable, full screen, wireframe mode, ecc..), or use the default settings.
