3D Visioner 2017 brings enhancements to one of the major new features introduced in previous version — Camera FlyView. This feature allows simulating camera passing through a trajectory inside 3D scene. Camera path is defined by a set of waypoints, defining speed of motion and view direction angles. Camera can be set to move at varied speeds, in the new version a selection is extended to 5 options (slowest/slow/medium/fast/fastest), compared to 3 choices in version 2016.

In the recently published 2017 update we introduced high-quality video export using FFMpeg codec, supporting resolutions up to 1920x1080 FullHD and two choices of FPS: cinematic 30fps and high-fidelity 50fps. Now the produced videos are compatible with virtually any video playing system without installing additional codecs.

Since FFMpeg is fully public open software covered by GNU license, we don’t pack it inside 3D Visioner installer, so we suggest to install it by simply downloading and unzipping latest version available on “Windows Builds” section of FFMpeg.

We aim for further improvements of the entire FlyView feature, in particular trajectory curve shape and usability of waypoints UI.
