外文翻译题 目： 3d交互式虚拟模型的设计 系 ： 学生姓名： 专 业： 班 级： 指导教师： 起止日期： 年月日quest3d documentation: frequently asked questionsin recent years, 3d computer graphics have taken the world by storm. hollywood movies show off fully animated monsters and entire alien planets. video games offer fantastic characters to play and vast interactive worlds to explore. commercial and scientific presentations are often made in 3d. even entire training programs can take place in a virtual reality. though 3d computer graphics have reached a mainstream status, actually creating them still requires much effort. only with proper, dedicated tools is it possible to produce convincing results in a timely manner. quest3d is the perfect software package for creating interactive 3d scenes. examples include product presentations, architectural visualisations, virtual trainings and computer games. quest3d features a unique style of programming. instead of having to write thousands of lines of complex code, developers make use of a large set of powerful building blocks. both flexible and easy to use, quest3d appeals to designers , programmers and artists alike. working with quest3d means developing in real-time: you are working directly on the end result. no time will be lost on compiling code or rendering images. quest3d has a stunning set of graphics features. large numbers of animated people, convincing vegetation, shadows, fire and smoke effects and realistic water can all be easily added to a scene. advanced features include physics simulation, pathfinding routines, database connectivity and networking support. this book is your guide to quest3d. it offers both theory and practical examples in the form of step by step tutorials. after reading this manual, you should be well on your way to creating almost any interactive 3d scene imaginable. welcome to the wonderful world of quest3d!what is quest3d?quest3d is a software package to develop real-time 3d applications. it is used to create architecture visualizations, computer based training programs, digital entertainment and many other real-time 3d based programs. what are the main features / capabilities of quest3d? quest3d uses a graphical approach to application authoring. you do not need have any programming skills to use it. it allows you to take your 3d models, textures and many other types of assets and turn them directly into an executable or web page. quest3d comes with a huge set of functions and features. hdr rendering, a dynamics engine, path finding, skinned meshes, hlsl shading, network synchronization, database connectivity and optional lua scripting are just some of the features. the good news is that no royalties have to be paid for any products you create. each development computer requires a single usage license and that is all you will have to pay. what are the system requirements of quest3d? software: quest3d runs on windows 98, 2000, xp and vista platforms with directx 9 installed. hardware: intel pentium iii or higher or amd athlon processor, 512mbytes ram, cd-rom drive, hardware accelerated directx compatible graphics card and 1024x768 display resolution. what graphics cards are supported quest3d supports all 3d cards that support directx 9 the performance and available feature set may vary per card. can i extend quest3d? you can write custom channels in quest3d with the free quest3d sdk, or write scripts in lua. what kind of modeling capability is included with quest3d?quest3d is not a modeling tool. this means that you will have to import your meshes and animations from other programs. what kind of models can i use with quest3d? there are three ways to get your models and animation into quest3d. first of all you can use our excellent .x importer. there are .x export plug-ins available for many 3d programs. the second method is to use okino polytrans which allows transfer of a broad range 3d formats directly into quest3d. polytrans is separate 3d format conversion software which should be purchased separately. when polytrans is installed, quest3d will automatically offer the many extra import options. the final method is to use the excellent quest3d export platform. this exporter is currently only available for 3d studio max but it offers the easiest way to export your scenes directly to quest3d. later, the quest3d export platform will also be made available for sketchup, maya and solidworks. for more information see: exporting what can be imported?quest3d imports polygon geometry, skinning (up to 4 weights per vertex), vertex colors, multiple texture coordinates, textures, animations, cameras and lights. when you use a .x exporter that exports two uv sets quest3d will import them. the quest3d export platform provides the easiest transfer of models which use multiple texture sets such as light maps and color maps. light maps can be generated by many almost any lighting software and then transferred to quest3d. supported texture formats are tga, bmp, dds, jpg and png. supported sound formats are wav and mp3. who uses quest3d? quest3d is used worldwide by companies and institutions both small and large. it is mostly used for architecture visualization and training but other markets are quickly gaining ground. educational institutions use quest3d for teaching, development and research. the final products range from executables that run on the web or install on a computer to large dedicated systems. the largest setups are used in vr simulators and other setups that require multiple computers. what makes quest3d unique is its ability to provide the flexibility of traditional programming methods for users that are akin to design and graphics. compared to programming quest3d is much easier and organic which makes it an ideal environment for development of graphics applications. quest3d users are varied people from entertainment and multimedia industry, architectural industry, training and simulation industry, educational, as well as design and product visualization industry. why should i use quest3d and not product x?quest3d has its innovative interface allows users to create applications using a visual approach to programming. this improves both speed and the ability to harness creativity. quest3d offers an unsurpassed feature set and an broad range of features. its approach to support, updates and license cost is greatly appreciated by its users. and finally, quest3d is truly an industry standard software package used by anyone that needs a serious solution that just does the job. what are the costs?quest3d comes in three editions. each edition is priced differently. price can be found on the quest3d web page or you can ask your local reseller. you need a license for each seat that uses the software. special pricing is available for educational usage. updates are free of charge. for new versions (i.e. 3.x to 4.x) you need to buy an upgrade license which allows for free updates until the next version. an upgrade is available for approximately 33% of a full license. what about support?a valid license provides free access to the quest3d forum, wiki, support files and software updates. the excellent updates of quest3d offer many new features and improvements and can be downloaded free of charge. training and specialized support can be purchased separately.quest3d说明文档：经常被问到的问题近年来，三维电脑图像风靡世界。像好莱坞电影展示活灵活现的怪兽和外来星球。计算机游戏中虚幻的人物也在广阔的游戏世界中与玩家进行互动。各种商业和科学介绍都会经常使用三维手段演示。就连完整的培训计划都采用虚拟现实来运作。虽然三维电脑图像已经上升到主流地位，事实上制作它还需要加倍努力才行。只有采用合适的和专业的工具才可能及时取得满意的结果。quest3d是一个创建交互式三维场景的完美软件包。例如产品演示、建筑可视化、虚拟训练和计算机游戏。quest3d的编程方式特征独特，开发者只需调用大量强大功能的积木样的信道模块。而不是非要编写上千行的复杂代码。这些信道模块不仅易于使用而且还是可扩展的。quest3d吸引了大量的设计师、程序员和艺术类人员。使用quest3d就意味着实时的开展工作：你可以直接在最后的结果上工作，无需费时再去编码或渲染图像。queste3d拥有一些非常漂亮的专题图集。大量的动漫人物，令人信服的植被，阴影，火焰和烟效以及逼真的水都可以轻易的添加到场景中。高级特性包括物理仿真，勘寻路线，数据库连接和网络支持。该手册带你进入quest3d，在这本循序渐进的手册中，提供了理论和范例两方面的内容。在你阅读完本手册以后，你应该能够创建任何可以想象的到的交互三维场景。欢迎来到奇妙的quest3d世界！什么是quest3d?quest3d是制作实时3d制作的软件包。它被用来创作建筑的可视化，电脑建立在训练项目的基础上，数码娱乐和许多其他的实时3d项目。quest3d的主要特征和能力是什么？quest3d使用一个图形的方式去应用创作，你不需要有任何编程技能的使用它。它允许你把你的3d模型，纹理和许多其他类型的资产，变成一个可执行文件或网页直接。 quest3d的配备了一个巨大的功能和特性集。高动态范围渲染，一个动态引擎，路径发现，剥皮网格，hlsl阴影，网络同步，数据库连接和可选的lua脚本，这些只是其中的一些功能。好消息是，您不需要为你创建的产品支付任何版税。每个开发计算机需要一个单一的使用许可，这是你必须支付的。quest3d需要怎么样的电脑配置？软件方面：quest3d能在windows 98, 2000, xp and vista系统平台上运行，都需要安装了directx 9。硬件方面：英特尔奔腾iii或更高，或者amd athlon处理器，512mb的内存，cd - rom光驱，硬件加速的directx兼容图形卡和1024x768显示分辨率。各种显卡支持quest3d的支持所有的3d卡支持directx 9的性能和可用功能设置每张卡可能会有所不同。我能在quest3d中衍生什么？你可以写在quest3d中自定义channels与自由quest3d的sdk，或写lua脚本。quest3d中包含了怎么样的建模能力？quest3d的不是一个建模工具。这意味着你将不得不从其他程序中导入你的网格和动画。什么样的模型可以使用与quest3d的？有三种方式进入quest3d中你的模型和动画。首先你可以使用我们的杰出的.x格式输入，有可用的.x格式插件给予很多建模软件。第二种方法是使用允许直接转换广泛的3d格式导入quest3d：okino polytrans。 polytrans是独立的3d格式转换软件，应该单独购买。当polytrans安装，quest3d中会自动提供许多额外的导入选项。最后一种方法是使用优秀的quest3d的输出平
