Providers of the only tools you’ll need to visualize your world in Realtime 3D

What is Realtime 3D?

Fully interactive – unrestricted movement in a 3D Scene

Draw eyepoint smoothly…..15-30 frames per second

Achieve high realism - “Photo realistic”

Benefits...

Communicate effectively: Fully interactive

presentation (Let the viewerviewer tell you where to go, not

the computer!)

Shorten the design process: Engage the project

stakeholders early in design review.

Build Consensus: Switch between numerous design

alternatives

Animation vs. Realtime 3D

Not realtime

Render at minutes/hours per frame

No interactivity!

more on animation...Bill Jepson – UCLA Urban Simulation Team

Animation forces you to create the Animation forces you to create the presentation after all of the presentation after all of the critical design decisions have critical design decisions have been made…..been made…..

Realtime 3D gives you the Realtime 3D gives you the flexibility to visualize as you flexibility to visualize as you plan…..plan…..
