With 3D DWF publishing, you can export
Design Web Format™ (.DWF™) files of your
three-dimensional models with nearly the same
visual fidelity as in rendered scenes. DWF files are
relatively small files that can easily be shared w ith
a team working on a project who may not ha ve
3ds Max. It a lso provides a fast way for viewing
models without having to spend time animating
and rendering them because you can use the Orbit
feature in the v iewer to fly around the model.
