Pixel Vector Media provided wayfinding application and kiosks for Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference that took place in 9. - 12. November in Abu Dhabi. This was the largest ADIPEC so far. There were more than  2,000 exhibi [...]

Shaders now use explicit vertex attribute locations in 3D Wayfinder. This and other improvements gave us approximately 35% increase in FPS (frames per second) in WebGL. Change is more noticeable with larger floor plans. Tests were done with 2 PC-s, [...]

We have tested 3D Wayfinder with different browsers and different PC-s. Main criteria which we were measuring is FPS (frames per second). The goal was to check how fast is WebGL in most common browsers. We are limiting FPS to 30, as human eye mostly [...]

There is now specular shader implemented in 3D Wayfinder. This will give more life-like look for materials like metal, stone, plastic etc. Specular shaders create the bright highlights that you would see on a glossy surfaces. It is mimicking the ref [...]

With last week update we have done some improvements in our WebGL engine FRAK. Average performance increase is 75% and with larger floor plans it is even more. We measured FPS (frames per second) increase from 5FPS to 15FPS with over 300 thousand pol [...]

New features in 3D Wayfinder include skybox, skybox textures can be set by our users via 3D Wayfinder. Skybox allows 3D floorplans to look more realistic and different kind of sky images can be used. Our customers from UAE and Kuwait prefer sunny sky [...]

We have revealed new pricing plans for 3D Wayfinder to support usage of 3D Wayfinder also in other areas than wayfinding. Simplest plan is now only $9 per month. This allows to create 1 project and access 3D Wayfinder CMS and API. This plan is suitab [...]

This week saw among other things a refactor of the FRAK Engine's TextComponent. It now has support for unicode. Also basic styling options used by the canvas text drawing API. It means better text handling on 3D scene. The working principle is simp [...]

We have published 3D floor plan ordering and pricing form . It will make easier to order floor plans from us and give the price estimation right away  when selecting options and checking input materials. We are offering 3 different detail levels: [...]

Recently we introduced improved transparency in 3D Wayfinder handling to FRAK engine. It can now be configured between three transparency rendering modes: sorted, blended and stochastic. The sorted mode is what used to be the default earlier. Ther [...]
