projects of visualization experts around the world.
Each week our Feature of the Week will focus on one of the new
cutting-edge features VNS 3
offers. This week's feature is:
PostProcess Heading

This was an oft-requested feature among foresters and others doing visual impact
scenarios. It's a quick and easy way to put a degree scale along the bottom of your
rendering, annotated with marks for each degree as well as 5-degree and ten-degree lines,
cardinal directions (N, NE, etc) and even numeric compass bearing readouts up to every 30
degrees.
If you're doing work that calls for this sort of thing, you know immediately just how
terribly useful this is. And in VNS 3, you can just click to add it to any rendering. It's
really cool to watch in animations, like a heads-up-display. it's also really helpful in
panoramic images.
