3D Browser Pro is your image editing tool that not only will
save you countless hours of work, it is also a tool you may find yourself using
over and over and over again. Not only can you use it to browse all of your
images anywhere on your hard drive, you can also use it as a remarkable
polygon-crunching tool! This program may soon become your personal browser that
is able to quickly look at and even catalog all of your 2D images and 3D
objects.
3D Browser Pro is more like your everyday file explorer except easier. You can
view, edit and organizing all your images, any of your 3D files and audio files.
For example; for each Directory that you browse, 3D Browser Pro displays each
Directory as thumbnails for each file it recognizes, which, by the way, 3D
Browser Pro can recognize over 60 image formats and plenty of 3D formats to help
you out every step of the way! Take a look at these 2D formats:

There are also some customizable display modes where you can
make your browsing experience more enjoyable. For example you can set some image
filters to display only .JPG and/or .HTML files as you browse so that you can
speed along looking for only the files you need. As you browse each Directory
and when 3D Browser Pro displays the results it will also give you some useful
information each file found such as the size, height, width, number of faces and
polygon count (just to name a few)
All the images can be viewed or edited right from within 3D Browser Pro without
the use of any external program if you wish. You simply double-click on the file
and it opens the applicable 3D Browser Pro image viewer (if you open an JPG
image then it will open a viewer for that type, if you open an 3DS then it opens
that viewer). From here you can further edit the opened image. Since I liked the
poly reduction part of 3D Browser Pro let's take a look at these features.
By opening a 3D file 3D Browser Pro allows you to rotate the 3D image in 3D
space, view it in flat, smooth or wireframe mode. It also allows for zooming but
maybe more importantly it shows you all the objects in the 3D file where you can
then show or hide any of those components! But what my favorite aspect of this
part of the program is how it will crunch any 3D model (Pro Version required).
While viewing the 3D model simply click a button and it takes you to the Polygon
Cruncher area. From here you can crunch and munch your 3D file with many of its'
available options at a click of a button! This is one powerful feature and worth
the extra license, especially if you like to work with 3D game programming, etc.
The Polygon Cruncher lets you reduce the number of faces but uses its own
intelligent reduction method, which means that you can reduce any model up to
75% without removing any of the details! You keep all the texture and color
information, you can apply crunches on one or more objects at the same time, you
can protect the borders of any object, and so much more. With the Polygon
Cruncher you get to control the number of faces or points that you want to
remove and work with.
Normally I have never been a big fan of image browsers but 3D Browser Pro has
radically changed my perspectives on it now! 3D Browser Pro is easy to use and
can do so much more than those I have tried in the past. With so many options
(some left untouched here) maybe it would be best for you to take a look and see
what you've been missing in other image browsers. 3D Browser Pro is feature rich
so take a browse over there as soon as you can.
