Visual indication of document size in a virtual rendering

摘要

Methods and a system for an electronic device to allow for indicating a size or scale of a rendering in a three dimensional view. A virtual scene is displayed on a display with a work product that is rendered, such as a document or packaging request having a job ticket. The rendering is provided with a common object that is a three dimensional virtual object that relates size to the document or packaging for approval in the proofing process. A quick visual cue is therefore provided to visually convey a realistic scale in proportion to the product rendered three dimensionally.

1. A method for indicating size of a virtual document in a document preview system executed via a processor of a computer with a memory that stores executable instructions having the method, comprising:
selecting a document size; rendering a three dimensional document in a three dimensional scene via the processor of the computer, the rendered three dimensional document corresponding to the selected document size; and generating a common object within the three dimensional scene corresponding to a set of properties that indicates dimensional proportions of the document based on physically known proportions and visual inspection cues of the generated common object; wherein the set of properties includes a country of origin; wherein the common object is selected from a set of virtual three dimensional objects corresponding to coins and monetary currency of the country of origin, the set of objects having a size corresponding to the selected document size.
