Overview
Blink 3D is an authoring tool for creating 3D environments. The 3D environments are immersive, just like today's modern games and can be viewed using the a Blink 3D Viewer on the Web or locally.
Blink 3D Builder
The Builder is the name of the actual authoring tool. It is
designed to be easy to use, intuitive and to complement your
existing skill set. If you are not technically minded, there
is no need to program. You can use the Behaviors that come with
the product to add interactivity and animation. If you are technically
minded but struggle with the graphics side such as creating
3D models, you can use the pre built primitive objects and Pre-Fab
objects that come with Blink 3D to build your environment.
For the competent 3D modeler, you can model your 3D object in your preferred modeling package and then export to Blink 3D. For the competent programmer, you can use the built in code editor and directly create the environment.
Blink 3D Viewers
In order to view the 3D environment you created, you will use
one of the Blink 3D Viewers. There are different types of viewers
available to meet your browsing needs. To view content on the
Web, you can use the Web browser plugins. There are currently
plugins for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera running on
Windows. On Internet Explorer, the plugin can be automatically
installed when a user visits a Web page containing a Blink 3D
environment. The Firefox and Opera plugins can be easily manually
installed.
If you want to view 3D environments off line, without using a Web browser, you can use the Blink 3D Stand Alone Player which will directly load and display a Blink 3D environment.
Importantly, all Blink 3D Viewers are distributed free of charge. Visitors to your web site have nothing to pay for using the viewer and neither do you.
