Quest3D is known for its amazing rate of updates. Every new update adds new value to an already amazing product. Act-3D chooses to let customers participate in the discussion over new features. “Our customers come up with a lot of good ideas. I’m glad we give them the opprtunity to suggest new features. There are really loads good ideas out there and I’m not sure if we would have thought of them ourselfs.” says Remko Jacobs, who is part of the Quest3D development team.

The next release of Quest3D, version 1.3, will add an important set of features. Most of them got in there because of the feedback from the Quest3D users. One of the most revolutionary additions is a physics simulation system. The physics system makes otherwise inanimate objects bounce, slide and collide. Creating a race game is just a simple matter of creating the models and adding the correct physical properties to them.

The physics simulation system makes Quest3D the ultimate tool for applications that are difficult to create otherwise. Process simulations, disaster simulations, games, driving and flight simulations are just some of the fields where the physics system has a grave impact. The system simulates the rigid body motion of bodies and also supports several types of ‘hinges’ to create connections between bodies.

Another improvement of Quest3D will be the new importers and exports. There are special plug-ins under development that make using Quest3D for architectural visualization much easier. The web site will also be modified to give easy acces to third party tools and plug-ins. “We have our mind set on making the import and export process as easy as possible” says Remko Jacobs.

Apart from the new physics sytem and the improved importing and exporting there will be a lot more additions but they have not yet been revealed. The update will be free for all current users of Quest3D although some features may only be available to users of Quest3D Prefessional or Enterprise. The release date of Quest3D 1.3 has been set in quarter 4 2002.

虚怀，先贴上来了，中午找土豆对了对，如果其中一些术语错误，找土豆算帐去哈

Quest3D素以其惊人的更新速度闻名于世。并且在每次更新时，都总会在这款已经异常优秀的产品中出现一些新亮点。Act-3D希望用户们能参与关于新特性的讨论。“我们的用户们总能提出许多好点子。我也很高兴能有机会听取他们关于新特性的建议。现在非常不错的主意越来越多了，因此我甚至不敢说我们能将它们一一考虑完全。”Quest3D 开发团队成员之一Remko Jacobs如是说。

Quest3D的下个版本，即1.3版本将添加一系列重要功能。Quest3D用户们的反馈促成了这次修改。最有创新性的添置之一是在软件中加入了运动模拟系统。这个运动系统使得那些无生命物体也能弹跳、滑动以及碰撞。如果想制作一个赛车游戏仅需完成建模以及其赋予正确的运动属性如此简单的步骤即可。

此款运动模拟系统使得Quest3D成为其他在此方面不足的应用软件的好助手。过程模拟、灾难模拟、游戏、驾驶和飞行模拟都仅是这款运动系统所擅长的一部分功能。此系统可模拟实体各部分的运动并且提供了许多种“节点”以创建物体各部分间的联系。

Quest3D的另一个改进便是更新了输出与输入设置。一些正在开发中的特殊插件将令在Quest3D中的可视化建模更加轻松。网站也将被改进以更加方便用户们使用第三方工具和插件。“我们已经开始致力于将输出和出入过程变得尽量方便简捷。”Remko Jacobs说到。

除了全新的运动系统和新完善的输入输出设置外，该软件还将有许多未被透露的新添设。这次更新对于Quest3D的当前用户们均是免费的，尽管一些功能可能只适合Quest3D的专业用户和企业用户使用。Quest3D的1.3新版本将在2002年第四季度上市。
