Quadrispace Document3D. 3D PDF Creation For Free

Started by Josh M · 9 months ago

One of the coolest things about PDF’s lately, is the ability to churn out high-quality documents with a 3D model embedded directly inside. Not an image, but an actual 3-dimensional model you can pan, zoom and rotate all about. Ya getting that tingly feeling?

    Josh, I looked at Qudarispace a few years back but as a user of Adobe Creative Suite software going to Acrobat made more sense. Personally I don't like the Quadrispace Word/Powerpoint like approach to layout - I never use either as I use Indesign or Illustrator and Apple Keynote - it is just to gimmicky. Buts thats a personal opinion.

    For me I'll stick to Acrobat Extended - it opens more file formats, it handles assemblies of all sizes, it lets you export parasolid or STEP (so you can treat it as a low cost CATIA v5 translator - not a lot of people will know that maybe), the flash and flash video tools in 9 are excellent. All in all you get more for your money I think.

    I totally agree with you Kevin. For what I do, Acrobat has the best set of tools as well. I do think quadrispace fills a gap though. Most of the other engineers in my office do not use Acrobat for much beyond viewing. This gives them a quick way to create a document with some instruction on it and communicate the 3D design a little better to the shop or a vendor.

    ... and yeah, Acrobat Extended works great as translator huh. :)
