TDVPlugin for Solidworks

Post by Tril »

Could you please talk a bit about the TDVPlugin for Solidworks.

Does it display the viewport in S-3D as you edit your parts and assemblies?
Do you have plans to make plugins for other engineering programs (Pro/ENGINEER, Solid Edge, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, etc)?
Is it ready for sale?
How much is it?
Does it come for free with the TDVDemoSuite?

The TDVPlugin for SolidWorks is being sold. It comes with free upgrades because there is a lot we still want to do. Right now you can press a button to visualize the part in 3D but you cannot work in stereo in realtime. We have been focusing on other things lately but if there is some more interest in the plugin we will accelerate development. We may make exporters for other programs in the future. The SolidWorks TDVPlugin does not come with the TDVDemoSuite it is separate.

I have a OpenGL extender that works with any graphics program not just SolidWorks.
And Yes, it works as You edit parts or assembly.
It also drive LCD shatter glasses trough USB port so You do not need stereoscopic graphics card.
Or one can use the anaglyph mode with red/cyan paper glasses.
Any graphics cards that has OpenGL driver will work with it.
