EON TextBook

Interactive 3D Application Development: Using EON Professional for Creating 3D Visualizations
is a comprehensive guide for the development of a wide variety of interactive 3D applications. Users of this book will learn to easily and quickly manipulate the EON Professional software to develop exceptional interactive 3D simulations for use in numerous fields including business and industry, education and training, marketing, and research and development.

It will guide you through the application development process using EON Professional. This book contains interactive hands-on tutorials that will allow you to practice as you learn to use this very powerful software application. The content in the book is arranged in modules and developed in such a way that it enables you to choose specific topics to study on an as-needed basis. This makes this book an indispensible tool for developing simplistic interactive objects to very high-end applications using EON Professional.

What Can You Achieve with This Book?

This book is designed for people who need to solve problems through the creation of interactive objects, basic interactive simulations, or fully developed 3D simulation applications using EON Studio or EON Professional. They may be new to or experienced in the use of application software for the development of interactive objects or 3D applications. This book also supports education and training programs as a resource that supplements instruction and helps individuals rapidly develop the knowledge and understanding required to create interactive, immersive 3D applications.
The design of this book is geared primarily toward all users of EON Professional. However, users of EON Studio software can use most of the hands-on activities within the book for training and technical support as well. Likewise, the book is designed for licensed users of the EON Professional software; however, you may complete many of the modules with a trial version of EON Studio.
If you are already familiar with EON Professional, this book will serve as a desk reference to provide solutions to common development challenges, tips and tricks, or specific skills that may need reinforcement. All users of this book will learn how EON Professional interacts with other software applications to fully unlock the development capabilities of EON Professional as a content creation tool.

What Are the Key Concepts in This Book?

This book provides comprehensive instruction in basic and advanced 3D application development using EON Professional. This practical, modularized, and hands-on approach enables you to create real-world solutions through simulations and step- by-step scenarios.
