Description:
Environ is an application motivated by the need to visualize large industrial engineering models derived from CAD tools.Its main goal is to offer 3D visualization resources with enough realism to be used for virtual prototyping, design review, change-management systems, training, and immersive VR projection facilities.
This video demonstrates massive models produced by Bentley MicroStation and highly textured models produced byAutodesk 3ds Max. Environ improves realism by adding sky effects, dynamic oceans, and real terrains in the virtual environment.
It is also possible to incorporate some engineering simulation resources, like risers and CFD visualizations.
