Viewing Truespace scenes/objects on a workstation without TrueSpace // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by tscorpio // Oct 1, 2008, 10:05am tscorpio Total Posts: 84 A friends son would like to use TrueSpace on his class project. He has TrueSpace at home and can make the scenes and everything, but the schools computer don't have anything that he can display them with. is there a free viewer or something out there that can display scenes/objects AND doesn't require a setup to run? We're thinking that he could bundle it all together on a thumb drive. Thanks!

Note that truePlay is not available at this time as it is waiting for the update being worked on for tS7.6. Whether it can run off a USB drive without having to install something on the host computer, I can't say, it may still need some registry keys to work - would need the devs to answer that one. HTH!

Is there any reason that this wouldn't be possible, maybe with the sdk? Post by Nez // Oct 1, 2008, 10:10pm Nez Total Posts: 1102 You might be able to install Accutrans to a USB stick - this is quite good at loading objects in a range of formats including .cob, so this may be one option, depending on how complex the model/scene is and the nature - if it's an animation, you could of course produce an avi or wmv to show instead. One other option that tS has had for several versions now if the capability to create a Quicktime VR file which can be a great way of showing off your model/scene; it wasn't well documented in version 5 but I think it might be covered in the newer versions...
