![]() Unfortunately, the download demo from Adobe does not include the 3D Toolkit capability so there is no way to test if this option will work to your satisfaction. Hopefully Acrobat 10 will contain the ability to texture faces as well (same as the Deep Exploration 6.1 product which has been re-branded as the 3D Toolkit), but it is still in beta testing. You can create textured 3D PDF files, and do renderings as well. I found it harder to learn, but there are some free videos on the net which now makes that easier. It uses the same material application method to parts (not faces). ![]() ![]() However, most rendering packages are very different from your standard windows interface and require a bit of a learning curve to get up to speed.Īnother alternative is Adobe Acrobat Extended with the 3D toolkit for about $699 retail. Some people are happy with Maxell Render, and some have even had good luck with the free Blender render package. I have been looking at rendering software for Alibre for many years and not found many acceptable alternatives. Look over the Simlab thread for tips on how to use Simlab. The 3D PDF retains the tree structure of the Alibre model better than the STEP 214, but you can rebuild the structure inside of Simlab. The STEP AP214 format works great to render faces, and the 3DPDF output from Alibre works fine if you only need to render entire parts with a texture. It is easy and straight forward to use with a Windows standard type interface.
