Mechdyne Enables Immersive Virtual Reality Capabilities in Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max
| Source: Mechdyne Corporation
MARSHALLTOWN, IA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 12, 2007 -- Mechdyne Corporation today announced that
its VRCO software division has expanded the compatibility of its immersive
visualization solution to support native display of both Autodesk®
Maya® and Autodesk® 3ds Max® applications in a wide range of
large-scale virtual reality environments. With the enhanced Conduit™
package, designers may now display native Maya and 3ds Max models, in
stereoscopic viewing modes, on large PowerWall™ and in walk-in immersive
CAVE® rooms driven by Windows® and Linux® PC clusters.
VRCO, a member of the Autodesk Developer Network, also recently released
Conduit for Autodesk® AliasStudio™ 13 software.
Advanced visualization capabilities enable creative designers to move
beyond desktop tools to maximize productivity and better manage tight
deadlines and development demands. Experiencing photorealistic virtual
prototypes in 1:1 scale, with the added insight of stereoscopic depth, can
help reduce the number of design iterations and/or physical models required
for design reviews, thereby saving time and money while shortening
development cycles. Realistic virtual prototypes can also improve
collaboration among design teams for better decision making.
Available today from Mechdyne and VRCO, Conduit can be integrated into
existing software and/or visualization environments, or provided as part of
complete, turnkey visualization solutions to meet specific requirements.
