About

This version of fe3d tries to create a more stable environment and provide more usable "workflow". It is undoubtedly the version of fe3d that should have first been released (as opposed to all the other nearly unusable versions).

Download

To download binaries and / or source go to the Source Forge fe3d site: here

Installing Binaries

Windows

  • Download Visual C++ 2005 (VC8) redistributables (you probably already have them), from Microsoft's web-site
  • Download fe3d from Source Forge [ release site]
  • Launch the fe3d install executable and follow the directions
  • Optional (if you want to use fe3d as a front end to nmap):
    • Download and install nmap
    • Make sure nmap is in your path or fe3d won't be able to use it.

Other Platforms

Binaries are only available for Windows 32/(maybe 64). It is more than likely that binaries for Linux will never be made available as building from source is too simple to justify the time and effort for creating RPMs or DEB packages... and supporting the million Linux ditros. For IRIX I may either make some myself or help the nekochan people updated the current fe3d binaries to this version. fe3d was once in the gentoo emerge, it may find it's way in there again.

Installing From Source

  • Download fe3d from Source Forge [ release site]
  • See the build instructions for information on building from source

Usage

  • Simply type fe3d at a command prompt (if your path is set correctly) or find the shortcut in the Start menu (for Wintendo)
  • RMB (Right click) displays the main menu.
  • LMB and horizontal mouse movement rotates the root node
  • Ctrl + LMB and horizontal mouse movements zooms in and out
  • Shift + LMB and vertical mouse movements pans the scene up and down
  • From the main menu:
    • Import Scan - Imports an nmap XML scan.
    • Clear Scene - Removes all nodes from current scene
    • Launch Scan - Shows

Known Issues

  • The radius of the geometry nodes is wrong, causing overlap. This issue will be fixed by OpenSceneGraph
  • On Linux fe3d does not work correctly with wxWidgets unicode version (something about pango), the menus and text is garbled.
  • Earth (and other) textures are upside down
