The 3D Viewer is a powerful new application, designed to give a
detailed three-dimensional view of the major geological,
geophysical and production data components of the Tigress
database.
As with all Tigress applications the 3D viewer has the full
range and security of the Tigress database to select from. The
displays build upon the existing AVS based graphics already used by
the Tigress simulator. The 3D Viewer extends the viewing capability
of the mapping, geological and geophysical application areas. This
first release provides a single gateway to select and display
seismic data, well paths, maps and simulation grids in a single
window, allowing the user to see the juxtaposition of these
different data elements in the depth domain.
Data selection is via standard Tigress selection browsers. The
image can then be manipulated using a range of controls: rotation,
translation, stretch and zoom. In addition the focus of rotation
can be moved from the centre of the image to an offset position, or
a distant location. Illumination controls allow the individual data
items to be ‘shaded’ from different vantage points to help
illustrate key structural elements.
The display of individual items can be modified in a variety of
ways; colour shading, contour banding, labelling and grid lines can
be applied, and transparency and fencing displays can be used to
see through objects into the volume beneath.
As with all Tigress software the applications need no special
hardware or graphics cards. Tigress delivers excellent performance
from your PC.
