I had in the past used cosmo viewer to view WRL files and another free utility called Worldview - both seem to have disappeared. it seems strange with the staggering proliferation of games that no one is producing an affordable game - engine driven viewer, i note that the Zermatt engine seems to have broadened it's market appeal by relying on the 3DS format, pretty common to the gaming world.
if anyone has found anything of interest, i'd be keen to hear. regards jc

I'm feeling a similar sway to offering clients a stand alone viewer with which to explore their models - although Zermatt at nearly $3000 AU feels way too expensive for a viewer - with the number of offices presenting 3D these days, an affordable viewer around the $750 - $1000 mark AU would grab a major market share.

WOW! that is great news. I've got to say, the screen shots shown in that article look exactly the same as Zermatt (I have Zermatt 3.0). Has Graphisoft bought Zermatt!? Great to see Graphisoft creating a decent VR file viewer, if the price is right they will sell them by the truck load.
Thanks for the link Mats

I think there is a misunderstanding about the capabilities of this add-on, otherwise this tread would not be in the Rendering and Multimedia chapter.
From the images on the Cadalyst article you can see that this add-on gives you not only pretty pictures, but the ability of querying the model, like VICO 5D presenter
This is something that is SORELY needed.
As more and more ArchiCad users model their projects ever with more detail, being able to send this model to your client, engineer, constructor, licensing entity, as a navigable standalone is of enormous value.
Like I said, I am pretty excited. Zermatt has always been very promising, but lacked focus. With a Graphisoft similar product, we will have the support we need.
I would go as far as betting that if GS included this add-on as the main AC13 feature, it would be a winner, but luckily I am not responsible for their development policy
I will camp in line to get it, and will keep my fingers crossed that they develop a IPhone compatible APP.
Way to go, GS.
