Balancer 2.0.0.373

Balancer - A tool to optimize and simplify 3D models.

A tool to optimize and simplify 3D models.

Atangeo Balancer is an application designed to help you preview and edit tridimensional polygonal models.

With Balancer you can quickly and easily find your perfect balance between visual appearance and the number of polygons.

Balancer utilizes a high quality polygon reduction (aka mesh simplification) to preserve the visual appearance of your model. The model features, normals, texture coordinates, layer boundaries are all honored.

This application is able to support multiple image formats such as BMP, TIFF, PNG, JPEg, PBM and more.

Optimize your models even further to dramatically speed up rendering of your models. Balancer features a fast and efficient triangle reordering that can be tuned for various rendering methods like triangle strips and array/buffer based rendering.

Balancer features :

- High quality, high performance mesh simplification
- Construction of the entire LOD hierarchy in one shot
- An advanced user interface to instantly select an optimized model with the desired number of triangles
- Densities control for selective reduction rate of different groups/sub-meshes
- Locking of different groups/sub-meshes
- Texture coordinates preservation
- Normals can be either preserved or recomputed
- Preservation and simplification of the model boundaries
- Boundaries defined by discontinuities of materials, layers, texture coordinates are supported
- Visualization of boundaries
- Joining of vertices given a user-specified threshold
- Joining of normals and texture coordinates to eliminate corresponding false boundaries
- Effective, high performance mesh stripification
- Fast and intelligent triangle reordering for best visualization performance depending on your rendering method
- Target rendering methods are triangle strips, general rendering, array/buffer/index based rendering
Supported 3D formats:
- Wavefront (.obj)

Limitations:

- Save is disabled
