1. What is 3DMF Viewer?
You want to view 3D objects in 3DMF files? You want to be able to compose 3D worlds with several objects? You want to be able to manipulate each object independently from each other? You want to be able to move freely in the 3D world around your objects?
Then 3DMF Viewer is what you need!

3DMF Viewer allows you to view interactively and move freely through 3DMF objects.
- You can open individual 3DMF files with an open dialog window or by dropping them on the viewer window.
- You can view several 3D objects at the same time in a 3D world made of 3D objects loaded from several 3DMF files.
- You are not limited to move around the objects and face their center but you can move freely in any direction as if you were visiting the 3D world.
- You can select and manipulate the camera as well as all other individual objects in the 3D world.
- You can view and edit the position, orientation and scale of the camera and the objects.
- You can save and open the scenes you've created.
- You can change the background color, the ambient light color and the flood light color.
- You can turn on/off wireframe rendering, fog rendering and back faces rendering.
- You can set the near rendering plane and far rendering plane distances.
- You can set the ambient light brightness and flood light brightness.
- It doesn't need any installation which makes it very easy to use.
- It is available in Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Slovenian, Spanish, Traditional Chinese and many other languages.

2. How to register?
As long as you use it unregistered this Application works normally, but it has a time limit and annoying windows (Registration window, Popup windows, ...).
To register it you just have to purchase a registration code on our website.
We accept Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollar, Czech Koruna, Danish Krone, Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, Hungarian Forint, Israeli New Sheqel, Japanese Yen, Malaysian Ringgit, Mexican Peso, Polish Zloty, Pound Sterling, Russian Ruble, Singapore Dollar, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc, Taiwan New Dollar, Thai Baht, Turkish Lira, US Dollar and many other currencies...
To see our prices or to have a look at our many other Applications, just go to our website now.
This will help and encourage us to continue developing useful and friendly software for your pleasure and service.
Remember that when you register for a particular Application, your registration code remains valid for all the following minor releases.
Remember to read the Conditions of Use, Publication and Distribution before installing and using our Applications.

3. How to install it?
No particular installation is required. Once you've downloaded the ".dmg" package from our website, it should uncompress automatically (in your "Downloads" folder or on your Desktop). If it does not, then you can double-click on it to uncompress it.
Then you just have to move the created folder into your "Applications" folder (or any other location) and double-click on the Application to launch it.

Particular case of Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks:

Under Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks, if you're launching the Application for the first time, maybe Mac OS's GateKeeper (which you can configure in the "System Preferences") will refuse to launch it because you've not downloaded it from the Mac App Store (but from our website). In this case, instead of double-clicking on it, all you have to do is to right-click on the Application's icon, and then select the "Open" menu. A message will appear in which you'll be able to confirm that you want to launch the Application (even if it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store from an Identified Developper).

NB: We're not distributing our Applications through the Mac App Store, because Apple's fees policy on the Mac App Store is not financially respectful of developers and small and medium companies.

4. How to uninstall it?
There should be no reason to do this. ;-)
However, if you really want, then you just have to throw the Application into the trash, and that's all.

5. How to use it?
The "Preferences..." menu:
It allows you to open the Preferences window. The Preferences window allows you to modify several parameters of the viewer.

The "File/Open a 3DMF file and add the object to the scene..." menu:
It allows you to open a 3DMF file and insert the 3D object it contains in the 3D scene. This object can then be selected in the objects list to be manipulated independently from the others.

The "File/Remove the selected object from the scene" menu:
It allows you to remove from the 3D scene the object selected in the objects list.

The "File/Open a scene..." menu:
It allows you to open a scene made of 3D objects.
