Over the years (3D configurators became more and more popular), Sketchfab has added many new features so you can present your work in a more appealing way in the future: Physical Based Rendering, Supersampling, Realtime Shadows and more. Today we're happy to introduce a new feature that makes your models look even better: a [...]

While these days most of us take Gamit with mobile devices for granted, many people remember with great certainly that such developments are still quite young. It wasn't 20 years ago that games like Snake (also as 3D configurator) were considered innovative on simple Nokia phones. In fact, it is still seen today as a [...]

The focus is one of the most important elements of successful photography and also for 3D configurators. There is no point in taking a breathtaking scene if the subject is not sharply focused. Once you have mastered the basics of focusing on your subject, depth of field control is the next step to open [...]

In the analog world, color timing was a lengthy photochemical process that took place in a photo lab. Now the color processing is digital and the color profiles of images and film material can be converted with a few mouse clicks. It`s a important process in creating a 3D configurator. [...]

Igus has developed a completely new 3D configurator for Drylin spindle lift tables. This enables customers to design and process millions of different linear table variants. Designing and configuring a spindle lift table (SHT) often takes a lot of time and work for project managers. To simplify [...]

Screen Space Reflections is a technique (very important in 3D configurator projects) for reusing screen space data to calculate reflections. It is often used to generate more subtle reflections e.g. on wet floor surfaces or in puddles. Since it works entirely within the screen area, it can only reflect what is currently on the [...]

Again and again you hear or read about these 3 letters. But what does CPQ actually mean? And what is the enormous advantage for companies behind this abbreviation? The abbreviation stands for Configure Price Quote (CPQ). This item describes a process chain in sales and distribution or [...]

ACATEC Software GmbH presents the new Web 3D Showroom of Bosch Rexroth at the Hanover Fair 2018. Experience the additional benefits of a 3D configurator together with an extraordinary 3D visualization at the Bosch Rexroth booth from April 23 – 27, 2018. The visualization of products is [...]

Trilinear (ideal for 3D configurators) is a straight extension of bilinear interpolation technique. It can be considered as linear interpolation of two bilinear interpolations (one for the front of the cell and one for the back). To calculate e and f we use two bilinear interpolations. To calculate g we interpolate linearly e and [...]

Interpolation is a very common technique in computer graphics and important in the creating process of a 3D configurator. Very often, data is given on a regular grid (values are written at the vertex of a 2D or 3D grid) or on a line (in the 1D case), but the program must evaluate values [...]
