Abstract

This system and process for providing a rendered image of a virtual 3-D scene comprises an image generating system which stores therein data defining the 3-D scene. Responses to receiving control data such as viewing parameters, editing commands, or instructions to a software application working with the scene data, the visualization systems (5) renders a pixel data image of the scene and transmits the pixel data over a data network (21), such as the Internet, to a user computer (13) to be viewed on a display device (31), such as a monitor.
