 Realviz Launches ImageModeler 3.5 Posted by: amigo
Source: Press Release
Date: Wed Jan 29 2003
Sophia Antipolis, France (January 29, 2003) - REALVIZ�, a leader in image
processing software development, is pleased to announce the availability of
ImageModeler� 3.5, for Windows� XP/2000. (A Mac OSX version of the
application also recently began shipping in December 2002.) Using
photographs as a revolutionary approach to 3D content creation, REALVIZ
ImageModeler 3.5, offers an innovative and intuitive approach to the often
time-consuming and complex task of creating 3D models. Version 3.5 is the
result of over 1 year's intensive work, drastically improving workflow
processes and productivity levels, whilst enabling the accurate re-creation
of even the most complex of objects or scenes. REALVIZ will be
demonstrating ImageModeler 3.5 at Imagina, which takes place at the Grimaldi
Forum in Monaco from February 3-6, 2003. During the show, REALVIZ will be
present on each of the 4 days on the CAD stand.
Using advanced algorithms, REALVIZ ImageModeler 3.5 extracts 3D information
from photographs, and helps users to measure and recreate accurate 3D models
with highly realistic results. Automatic texturing from photographs
drastically reduces the time necessary to create high-quality models
compared to traditional 3D modeling applications. Additional features such
as the ability to make point-to-point measurements and to create texture per
object with the Unwrap Texture feature help users create models that suit
their individual needs. A new calibration engine makes for significantly
faster and more accurate scene reconstruction for amazingly life-like models
and textures, which can then be exported to your favorite package.
REALVIZ ImageModeler is a multifaceted application, which can be employed by
3D content creators working in numerous industries, including the modeling
of scenes or buildings for architectural purposes, for calculations and 3D
surveys from photographs, for creating 3D virtual visits and the fast
creation of photo-realistic backdrops, for human modeling, industrial
design, animation and special effects, or for the simple creation of
photo-realistic objects compatible with Web 3D formats.
"REALVIZ ImageModeler 3.5 increased my productivity for the design of
photorealistic models used in real time 3D animations. The quality of
extracted textures is incredible. Moreover the interface of ImageModeler 3.5
has been significantly improved, making the software easier to learn." Mike
Castro Demaria (supersonique.net)
"Since its release in December of last year, we have been receiving some
great feed-back from Macintosh users, who were introduced to the product for
the very first time. And we're pretty sure that ImageModeler 3.5 will be
equally well received by both early adoptors of the software and our
installed user-base." said Patrick Dumas, REALVIZ� COO. "REALVIZ�
ImageModeler 3.5 incorporates a host of customer requests from previous
versions, and clearly illustrates our strong commitment to giving our
clients exactly what they want."
Macworld UK recently named REALVIZ ImageModeler 3.5 as one of the winners of
the prestigious Macworld Best of Show Awards, representing the most exciting
hardware and software products announced at MacExpo 2002 at the Business
Design Centre in London. To be eligible for Best of Show consideration,
products were either making their public debut at MacExpo, or were recently
introduced and likely to generate excitement on the show floor. In October
2002, REALVIZ also highlighted the work of US client, View Studio, who used
REALVIZ ImageModeler with stunning results in their visual effects work for
the Tom Cruise/Steven Spielberg movie 'Minority Report', which was recently
named as one of the 7 films being considered for Achievement in Visual
Effects for the 75th Academy Awards.
Imagina 2003
The International Festival for Digital Images, takes place at the Grimaldi
