Hyperion-CADRazor
Hyperion-CADRazor is our newest edition to the Hyperion-series tools. CADRazor is a unique OpenGL combo-tool, giving the user many powerful object manipulation controls at their fingertips. CADRazor is a general purpose CAD/FEA manipulation tool. With CADRazor, you can read in multiple 3D model formats: STL, OBJ, MESH, DXF, BDF, F3D. The list is expanding. Once your model is loaded you can copy-translate, copy-rotate, scale, shift, grab and pull grid points, clip and crop the model, change color and export portions to any of the 3D formats. Need an animation for post-processing display? Just select a portion of the screen with Rhea-PMA and create a standard Windows AVI file. CADRazor, running OpenGL at its core, delivers exceptional object-push. With the power of OpenGL, you can easily visualize and manipulate objects with facet counts in the range of 1,000,000. Full color control - you bet! Flyer mode - you bet, now with Flyboy®. Use Flyboy to do detailed walk-around reviews. Drag-and-drop models. Build as you go. Most of all, enjoy Geo-Reality!

OpenGL
CADRazor utilizes OpenGL® at the core of the graphics engine, running on top of OpenGL in a Windows ® environment.
CADRazor includes a unique Flyboy mode which a allows navigation into complex model terrain. Even record amimations as you fly.
With CADRazor you can perform complex model clipping using standard slider bar controls.

Texture & Clip Manager
CADRazor now includes a texture manager. You can load any number of texture files and selectively apply them to any object. Wrap the texures over specified directions with a simple mouse selection.

Scene Buildup
CADRazor has been extended to include a batch model processor. You can now select a series of models, augmenting these with a base model and then convert or display the models. Coupled with Rhea-PMA, this can be used to create complicated scene buildups that can be recorded to an AVI media file. CFD examples below.
