What is a 3DON file?

3DON files mostly belong to Scrutinize by KeenEdgeSoftware. Scrutinize is a graphical debugging tool for software developers working in 3d. It displays graphically what is going on inside 3d algorithms, in real-time as the algorithms are executing. The developer can control exactly what is displayed, and the feedback is accurate, dynamic, immediate and does not interfere with the normal control flow of the application. Scrutinize communicates with the application being debugged via a TCP socket. Consequently,  Scrutinize may be used to in conjunction with any language and environment which supports sockets. Remote debugging of an application across a network is straightforward; and remote debugging across the Internet is possible with appropriately configured firewalls. If required, several Scrutinize sessions can be run in parallel, distributed across several machines. This enables several users to work together in solving tough problems.
