Web Render:
Web Render is a back-end tool designed as a service provider for mobile applications. Relying on dedicated HTTP servers, it generates content for 3D visualization on the web. A request for high quality 3D rendering of a configured product is issued by the application and transmitted to the server, which returns the calculated image in real time. An API allows the customer to develop the front-end that suits him.
Alias to P3D Bridge:
Alias to P3D Bridge is a plugin that establishes a direct connection with Patchwork using a local network connection.
Data is sent from Alias to Patchwork 3D without the need to save a .wire file on the disk and import it in Patchwork 3D.
