We wish you Peaceful Xmas and happy successful new year! We have a small gift to You also: with any 3D floor plan You’ll get 6 months of 3D Wayfinder Lite for free.
This can help you demo your wayfinding solution, show the new apartment building or share your architectural masterpiece.
Our goals for next year are to improve the speed of 3D Wayfinder and add new features to make the 3D floor plans look more nicer. So stay tuned.
It is said that “There comes a time when all people break down and do the unthinkable: They read the manual”.
And when that happens, we like to be prepared. So we upgraded 3D Wayfinder Administration panel user manual.
Adding and editing projects, floors or locations is quite easy, but when it comes to nodes in 3D floor-plans, connecting ceilings with nodes or adding locations to nodes, you may need some instructions.
Managing 3D floor plans is actually not that hard, but don’t forget: “If everything else fails, read the instructions”.
Our customers ask us what is the difference between Lite, Standard and Premium modelling.
We made have made a short description page for each modelling level:
In each page you can also see example floor plans and you’ll find the links to these maps in 3D Wayfinder application. These examples show the difference between details and the way floor plans are modeled.
To get your 3D floor plan from us, see our price calculator and ordering form.
We have implemented SSAO shader for FRAK WebGL engine and 3D Wayfinder. SSAO is Screen Space Ambient Onclusion, it will make shadows for corners and edges. This means more life-true 3D and nicer floor plans for 3D Wayfinder users.
Below is the screen-shot of 3D floor plan of one accommodation building in Finland. In left there is SSAO applied and in right one not:
Here you can see the whole floor plan with SSAO shader:
Here is no SSAO:
And here is SSAO only image. This will give the idea how SSAO changes the final 3D rendering you see on the screen.
For setting SSAO shader options in 3D Wayfinder, go to “Setting” menu under “SETUP” in 3D Wayfinder Administration. There you will find SSAO settings under “Camera”.
