• View a shape's material details and mesh with the click of a button
  
• Inspect Nodes and joint structures using easy to understand visualization tools
  
• Quickly verify a shape's lighting and shading characteristics using a wide variety of rendering modes
  
• Analyze a shape's performance set-up by visualizing triangle faces and strips quickly and efficiently
  
• Examine a shape's collision meshes in detail
  
• Dynamically adjust and review levels-of-Detail and mip-mapping
  
• Combine and review animations
  
• And much more!
  

• Capable of loading multiple DTS objects into their own view. DSQ files may be loaded individually or through a standard .cs file to import multiple animation sequences at once. A list of the last five loaded objects is available for quick reloading.
  
• Multiple rendering formats: textured shaded, untextured shaded, flat shaded, textured wireframe, front face wireframe, wireframe, vertices, bounding boxes, and triangle strips.
  
• In addition to the perspective view, a number of orthographic views are available.
  
• Any loaded object may be mounted onto any other object using any node. Includes correct orientation for TGE vehicle wheels.
  
• Levels of detail may be manually selected or automatically determined as they would in-game.
  
• User selectable bitmap for environmental mapping.
  
• Background may be a solid color or a loaded bitmap. A snapshot of a game's level could be used.
  
• Object bounding boxes, collision meshes, and line of sight collision meshes may all be rendered.[/li]
  
• The light source may be moved around with the mouse in a 'trackball'-like fashion, or turned off for unobstructed viewing of the applied textures.
  
• Full support for the Synapse Gaming Lighting Pack. See how your object will look if you add this product to your game.

• The current mip map level may be changed at any time with a key press. Mip mapping may also be turned off by locking the current mip map in place.
  
• Textures may be flushed and reloaded with a key press. They may also be reloaded automatically on a user defined interval.
  
• All DTS material properties are displayed.
  
• Activate the TGE's reskinning code to change a loaded shape's textures, such as for different team uniforms.
  

• Animation sequences may be played forwards or backwards at a user defined time scale. The sequences may also be scrubbed through using the animation time slider.
  
• Multiple animation threads may be layered with full blend support.
  
• All animation sequence parameters may be viewed, including a list of controlled nodes and defined triggers.
  

• All nodes and their parent/child links may be shown. When a node is selected, its world or local position and rotation are shown along with a graphical representationof the node's axis.
  
• If a node controls a mesh's vertices, they are rendered with color coding indicating their weighting.
  
• View the hierarchical structure of an exported DTS object using a number of methods. Useful for debugging a shape.
  
• See the rendering structure of your object at each detail level to determine the order the meshes will be drawn in.
  
• View the rendering order of BSP-based sorted meshes to check that pieces are not overlapping inappropriately.
