Three-dimensional models

Three-dimensional models

Sometimes, after the reading material and survey of drafts, the reader nevertheless has a unintelligible device either appearance of any equipment or element, however it would be very necessary to take a look at interesting unit from different sides. Now, using a Metastream technology from Metacreations corporation, site offers not only to read about devices of the railway and electrosupply, but also "to feel" them (that's mean to rotate, to scale, to move on a screen). And the loading of device or unit goes at once while connection, and the miscalculation of an image happens on your PC. It allows to build rather complicated models, which are loaded faster than VRML.

If you'd like to work with 3D models it's necessary to install plug-in for browser about 320 kb size. You can load it immediately from Metastream (Viewpoint).

- Metastream = Viewpoint. Details: "New York, NY - October 16, 2000 - Metastream Corporation, an operating subsidiary of MetaCreations Corporation (Nasdaq:MCRE) and a leading provider of super-rich Web solutions for e-commerce, today announced the official name change of Metastream Corporation to Viewpoint Corporation".....read.

In further plans - creation of diverse models of devices and units of the railway, and also the use them as the additional explanations in section " How works the railway? (for beginner) ".
