3D panel
– vertical size of the license plate in the 3D window.
Plate width
– horizontal size of the license plate in the 3D window.
Specify in these boxes the sizes of license plate, accepted in you country.
Also create *.bmp file with the image of you license plate, name it Number.bmp and replace with it the file of the same name in the folder \Models\ in the VideoCAD installation directory.
!! The size of file sides, in pixels, must be equal to powers of two: 16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048 ....
After that 3D models – cars will be displayed with your license plate.
– ground color in the 3D window.
Licence plate and test chart antialiasing
If these boxes are checked– the license plate and test chart are displayed more realistic in the 3D window, but at that it takes more time for repainting the 3D window and there can be errors on some outdated graphic card.
At the use of some outdated graphic card the occurrence of distortions on the image in the 3D window is possible. For reduction of the distortions it is recommended to reduce Model space.
The increase of the near space limit has the much greater influence on distortions, than reduction of the far space limit.
The objects which are closer to the camera, than near space limit or farther than far space limit will not be displayed, but the distortions of the objects which are between space limits will be reduced or removed completely.
In this box you can set resolution of vector background in the 3D window.
Parameters on this panel are considered in 3D image modeling only if the illumination modeling is switched on.
Using Speed <> Accuracy slider you can choose a compromise solution between accuracy of modeling light bounds and performance of illumination modeling.
Maintenance factor of illuminators
- allows for supply voltage and lamp parameters variation, lamp aging, luminaire dirt depreciation.
Suggested Maintenance factors, according to CIE 97:
0.8 - very clean environment, maintenance cycle 1 year;
0.67 - clean environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;
0.57 - normal environment pollution load, maintenance cycle 3 years;
0.5 - dirty environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;
If the supply voltage is not stable or below normal then it is necessary to decrease the Maintenance factor proportionally to possible voltage slump.
- allows for lens contamination, dirt, camera degradation and parameter variation in the lifetime.
Suggested Maintenance factors:
0.7 - very clean environment, maintenance cycle 1 year;
0.6 - clean environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;
0.5 - normal environment pollution load, maintenance cycle 3 years;
0.4 - dirty environment, maintenance cycle 3 years;
On this panel you can optimize the speed of redrawing 3D window according to computer's performance, current design features and designer's habits.
With the help of the Priority combo box, you can control the priority of redrawing 3D window. The higher the priority is, the faster the image in the 3D window is redrawn, but the more hinders operation in the Graphics window.
In the the Mode combo box you can switch the method of redrawing image in the 3D window.
| • | Normal - drawing image in the usual way, in one stage; |
| • | 2 stage - drawing in 2 stages. on the first stage "raw" image is rapidly shown, and then a resource-intensive image processing is carried out; |
| • | 2 stage+2 priority - like a 2 stage, but the first stage is faster with higher priority. |
Redraw 3D image only by clicking
Modeling complex 3D scenes, especially taking into account illumination, require high computer performance.
If the image in the 3D window is redrawn too slowly and that hinder operation in the Graphics window, mark this box. After that the image in the 3D window will be redrawn automatically only at activation of cameras. To force redrawing click on the image.
The box is duplicated in the Main menu of the 3D window.
If this box is marked then the image processing will not be modeled.
Modeling gamma, noise, brightness, contrast, resolution, sharpness, compression will be disabled.
Redraw speed will increase, errors with outdated video cards may be removed.
The box is duplicated in the Main menu of the 3D window.
Modeling Depth of Field and Shutter
Using Speed <> Accuracy slider you can choose a compromise solution between realism and performance of modeling depth of field, exposure time and rolling shutter.
In the box you can specify number of revolutions of the Rotakin object in revolutions per minute.
