Objective
CADPIPE project will create the most simplified, high quality 3D CAD data optimizer and development tool for native design data to be transformed as real time rendering purposes. At this moment for example the Visualization business starts normally with a native heavy 2D or 3D CAD file, made for design or production purposes. The whole production chain up to, visually good looking, light 3D files is very expensive and time-consuming hand work. When having the data converted for transfer, a problem of data reducing and poor visual quality and the problem in adding animations and extra visual properties still exists. CADPIPE project is targeting to an, as automatic as possible, production chain for at least three most common native CAD program file formats. The production pipes ends each up to most standard, visually powerful file format ready to shoot by some 3D engine. The CADPIPE project aims to build solutions for: -Decreasing the amount of different working environments to CAD, 3D visualization and real-time rendering environment. There will be no longer need to use separate format conversion tools between CAD and 3D visualization tool as well as visualization tool and the real-time rendering system. -Smoother data conversion pipeline that allows more accurate information preservation within the pipeline. -The possibility to add basic interactive and physical behaviour properties to the models in the 3D visualization phase. -More efficient real-time rendering performance for the data as it can be prepared in the modelling or visualization tool to suit the needs for real-time rendering.
