Introduction
Graphisoft Virtual Building Explorer (VBE) allows architects to create
photorealistic walk-through models from their ArchiCAD projects. With
this new presentation tool, navigable 3D models can be saved as self-
running executable files that also contain predefined fly-through animations
and images of the building.
Product Details
The VBE package contains two components:
1) The Virtual Building Export Add-on for ArchiCAD 12 allows the
seamless export of ArchiCAD models directly into Virtual Building
Explorer.
2) The Virtual Building Explorer is a standalone application to make
live presentation environments of the imported ArchiCAD models and
to save them as self-running executable files.
The product is available in two configurations:
1) VBE version with shaded OpenGL rendering engine
2) VBE G version with shaded OpenGL and Global Illumination
rendering engines
