WalkAbout3d

WalkAbout3d Home

WalkAbout3d allows SketchUp users to explore their designs as a full screen real-time walkthrough - all at the press of a button. WalkAbout3d has anaglyph stereoscopic support as standard.

Whilst SketchUp is arguably the best 3d design tool around, it does stop short of real time walk-through visualisation. However with very little effort SketchUp users can now use WalkAbout3d to walk through their designs in realtime, in full-screen and optionally in stereo – there is not an easier or better way to explore and experience a SketchUp. By pressing the WalkAbout3d plugin button in SketchUp, choosing your avatar height, you'll be immersed in the design, with the ability to move through the design taking any route you choose. Also with the "Publish" function, you can let your clients do this too.

In short, by using WalkAbout3d you can easily gain extra value from your design efforts, and also share this with your clients.

Download the free trial and test out your designs now. The tutorial page shows you how easy it is to get from SketchUp to a real time walk through.

	Anaglyph stereo
	Joystick controller support
	Stereo screen-shot support

Walkabout3d lets you load a sketchup model and walk around it - simple as that. Real time walkthroughs let you experience the design in an extremely intuitive way giving you a very quick and easy way of exploring a design, irrespective of whether you choose a stereo viewing mode or not.

We've kept the interface really simple, with a few options before you start a walkthrough and a few more when you are in the realtime walkthrough mode.

Being able to switch to full screen mode means that you can utilise the whole screen area and gives a more "immersive" feel to the design.

Stereo support lets you experience your SketchUp models in a completely new way - suddenly designs have real three dimensional look to them. Use of red-cyan anaglyph maintains a good colour balance and gives a very cost-effective stereoscopic solution

WalkAbout3d can be configured to use any windows compatible game controller - you must have DirectX installed (standard in XP and Vista)

Whilst walking through a design "snap-shots" can be taken at any time, including side-by-side and anaglyph stereo modes.
