Sharing just got easier
by dennis on March 17th, 2010CanvasSpace, the application that listens to Twirl hardware and lets you draw in 3D, has implemented the portable network graphic (PNG) standard for saving files! Although a PNG file is a 2D image, which takes advantage of lossless compression to stay small, the clever (and sometimes quirky) minded folk behind Twirl have managed to sneak in 3D data in a flat image.
What does this mean for you? You can make a 3D creation, save it, and send it to anyone you please. Your friends can then open up the file just like any other image with no extra software… it’s just a picture after all. If they want the full 3D experience, all they have to do is load the PNG file in CanvasSpace, and they’ve immediately got the full 3D creation on their computer.
Perfectly simple.
