About Virtual Shape Research

Virtual Shape Research is developing and marketing CAD software in the areas of Visualization, Free-Form Modeling and Shape Analysis. We want to improve the daily job of designers in terms of quality and efficiency.

Our approach is to offer solutions that are more modern and by far less expensive than other available solutions. So our product range will also be interesting for users and markets who where for cost reasons not able to use existing products.

Products

• Realtime Renderer for Rhinoceros
  
• Shape Modeling & Analysis
• WebGL Export
• VSRView

Realtime Renderer for Rhinoceros

With the VSR Realtime Renderer 4.0 a fully embedded realtime rendering solution for Rhinoceros®  (version 5, 64bit) has become available that allows at any time to switch into a photorealistic environment. The visualization speed allows even direct modeling in active rendering environment.

With VSR WebGL Export the 3D model can be exported as 3D html5 web page to be visualized in Web browsers or on  Apple® mobile devices with VSR iView.

"What You See Is What You Get!"

Shape Modeling (Enhanced Modeling Features for Rhino)

Generation of high-quality Class-A surfaces with simultaneous real-time analysis of the geometry data – these options are united in VSR Shape Modeling, available as PlugIn for Rhinoceros® (version 5, 64bit).

The customary degree of control over the quality of the designed geometry is achieved with the integrated VSR Shape Analysis functionality. Existing Rhinoceros® data models can be immediately analyzed and further processed, without any additional effort and with full associativity.
In combination with VSR Realtime Renderer and VSR WebGL Export, Virtual Shape Research covers the whole process chain, from surface creation and analysis to visualization and easy communication distribution. meeting at the same time all standards of high-quality surfaces.

Supported Features:

• Simple and fast control point modeling with numerous additional options
  
• Curve and surface matching functionality up to G3 ("Flow")
  
• Blend and Multiblend functionality up to G3 ("Flow")
  
• Graphical handles for easy modification of the created geometry
  
• Integrated analyses in almost all functions to evaluate the resulting geometry
  
• Quick user-controlled surface creation on meshes
  
• Curve sketching functionality, also on surfaces and meshes
  
• Curve and surface approximation to simplify the geometry
  
• Alignment and connection of curves and surfaces with G3 ("Flow") to the symmetry axis
• Creation of symmetrical surfaces across symmetry plane
• Blend and Multiblend functionality up to G3 ("Flow")
• Improvement of the quality of trim edges in Rhinoceros 3D®
• Creation of flange surfaces from surface edges or curves

..... and a lot more!
