Caligari Announces First Public Demonstration of trueSpace7 Real-time
3D collaborative authoring technology to be revealed at GDC March
08,2005
Caligari Corporation, award-winning producer of 3D modeling and
animation software, today announced the first ever public
demonstration of trueSpace7, featuring 3D real-time collaborative
authoring technology, at The Game Developers Conference to be held at
San Francisco's Moscone Center from March 9th through March 11th.
Caligari will have demonstrations in the NVidia booth (#410) and
alongside Gamedev.net and ionForge in booth #916. trueSpace7, on its
release later this year, will be the first 3D authoring product on the
market to enable all aspects of real-time design, modeling, and
animation to be performed within a virtual 3D shared space by remote
participants over the broadband internet. Some key trueSpace7 features
include:
-- Real-time collaboration for role-based authoring enabling art and
development teams to cooperate to create 3D content and applications
-- Unified "in-space" content authoring and delivery model with
distributable player

-- trueSpace modeling, animation and surfacing tools with award
winning direct manipulation interface, integrated seamlessly into 3D
collaborative Space
-- Real-time photorealistic rendering engine based on Microsoft's
DirectX 9.0 and HLSL compatible real-time visual material editor
-- Three global photo renderers: Lightworks, VirtuaLight and V-Ray
(sold separately)
-- Script editor with JScript, Lua, Python, VBScript, and other languages
-- Behavior and activity creation, via visual design environment with
customizable user interface for created objects, brings dynamics and
interactivity to your objects
-- Distributed network engine, and integrated physics engine
-- Message-passing kernel with support for the next generation of
massively parallel, multi-core processing hardware
The trueSpace7 collaborative authoring client provides a full set of
polygonal editing tools, subdivision surfaces, NURBS with trim curves
and blends, sweeps, rails, lofts, skinning, and cross-sections,
chamfers and fillets, metaballs and particle surfaces, boolean
operations, organic deforms, array tools, layers, and more.
Animation tools include a key-frame editor, non linear animation
editor, function curves, facial animation tools, bones with deformable
skin and muscles, and more. For rendering and surfacing there are
three photorealistic renderers with ray tracing, radiosity and photon
mapping, a UV editor, texture editor, layered materials and shading
trees, HDRI, IBL, 3D paint tools, post process editor, and more. The
trueSpace7 collaborative authoring server software is a host platform
enabling multiple participants to enter a shared 3D space to create
and manipulate their content in real-time - trying new ideas and
discussing creation strategies with built-in chat and other
communications tools.
