Vuzix maxReality 6.1 User Guide - Manual (Page 18)

VWD is the file extension used for documents created by maxReality and viewable
through the maxReality Viewer application. VWD files can be viewed through the
maxReality Viewer on any Windows based computer, even where Autodesk 3ds Max
is not installed. These files are similar to PDF files in that they contain all the data
and resources required without the need for the original creation software to be
present.
Sync with MAX file
The “Sync with Max File” option works in conjunction with the 3ds Max Save and
Save As commands. If selected, the VWD file is saved each time you save your 3ds
Max file. In addition, each time you Launch the maxReality Viewer the 3ds Max file
is also saved, keeping the two synchronized.
If “Sync with Max File” is not selected, your 3ds Max file will be saved with a 3ds
Max save but a VWD file will not be created nor will an existing VWD file be
updated.
Optimize VWD
If Optimize VWD is not selected some non-essential elements are removed, reducing
save time and reducing the file size. The quality and detail of your output will be
reduced however.
Enable this option when saving your final work for maximum quality. This export
will include all the required resources to view the VWD file on the same or another
computer system.
Special Effects Controls
maxReality has seven special effects cameras, animation, blue screen effects and more.
