Introduction

This application, 3DViewer v2.0, is a rewritten 3DViewer v1.0. Developed using MVC pattern.

Installation

Features and Capabilities

• Model Loading: The application empowers users to load 3D wireframe models from .obj files, emphasizing support for vertices_ and surfaces lists as a foundational structure.

• Manipulation Tools: Users can seamlessly interact with loaded models through essential manipulation tools:
  • Translation: Move the model along the X, Y, Z axes by a specified distance.
  • Rotation: Rotate the model around its X, Y, Z axes by a given angle.
  • Scaling: Adjust the model's size proportionally.

• Qt-Based GUI: The graphical user interface is implemented using the Qt framework, providing an aesthetically pleasing and intuitive environment. Key interface elements include:
  • File Selection: A button to select the model file, accompanied by a field displaying its name.
  • Visualization Area: A dedicated space for viewing the wireframe model.
  • Manipulation Controls: Buttons and input fields for translation_, rotation, and scaling_.
  • Model Information: Display of file name, number of vertices_, and edges.

Performance and Compatibility

• Optimized Handling: The program is optimized to handle models with varying complexities, from 100 to 1,000,000 vertices_, ensuring smooth performance without interface freezing.

Bonus Features - Settings

Customization Options:

• Projection Type: Choose between parallel and central projection for a tailored viewing experience.
• Edge Configuration: Customize edge type (solid, dashed), color, and thickness.
• Vertex Display: Configure the display of vertices_ with options for type (none, circle, square), color, and size.
• Background Color: Personalize the background color to suit preferences.
• Persistent Settings: Enjoy the convenience of settings that persist between program restarts.

Bonus Features - Record

Image Capture and Animation:

• Image Saving: Capture and save rendered images as BMP and JPEG files.
• Screencast Recording: Record small screencasts with a special button, creating GIF animations (640x480, 10fps, 5s) showcasing custom affine transformations of loaded objects.

In summary, 3DViewer v2.0, built on the Qt framework, provides a robust platform for working with 3D wireframe models. It offers essential manipulation tools, a user-friendly Qt-based interface, and additional customization options for an enriched user experience.
