 REALVIZ Ships ImageModeler 4.0 for the Mac Posted by: amigo

Date: Tue Nov 16 2004
Sophia Antipolis, France - November 16, 2004 - REALVIZ, a leader in image
processing software development, has begun shipment of ImageModeler 4.0 for
the Macintosh platform. (A Windows version of the software also became
available in August of this year.) REALVIZ ImageModeler is the solution to
measure and create 3D scenes using photographs. Using advanced algorithms,
ImageModeler extracts 3D information from stills to help measure the 3D
space created and construct accurate 3D models with highly realistic
textures. The resulting model can be exported in your favorite authoring
package.
REALVIZ ImageModeler is a production-proven application, which can be
employed by 3D content creators working in a wide variety of industries for
the modeling of scenes or buildings for architectural purposes, for
calculations and 3D surveys from photographs, for creating 3D virtual visits
and photo-realistic backdrops, as well as human modeling, industrial design,
animation and special effects, or for the simple creation of photo-realistic
objects compatible with Web 3D formats. ImageModeler drastically improves
workflow processes and productivity levels, whilst enabling the accurate
re-creation of even the most complex of objects or scenes.
Version 4.0 offers a number of powerful new features, which have been
specifically developed to meet the demands of 3D content creators,
including:
- A 3D/2D Integration Tool, which facilitates the accurate integration of
existing CAD 3D projects into 2D photographs
- A UV Mapping Editor, which enables users to edit the uv mapping of
textures
- The possibility to apply textures obtained from other sources
- New Calibration Constraints: particularly useful when integrating new CAD
projects
- Quicktime VR Object Movie export, enabling users to publish/share their
models
- SnapShot, which exports an image of the 3d scene as a jpg file
"Since the last release, there have been increases in the number of
applications that allow you to create 3D models from 2D photos. ImageModeler
still stands above the others for ease of use, power, and the ability to
generate high quality results. Anyone who is building 3D models for the web,
previz, broadcast, or even film, should consider purchasing ImageModeler
4.0. I give REALVIZ ImageModeler 4.0 a Strong Buy Recommendation." Stephen
Schleicher, Digital Media Net, USA (Oct. 2004)
�If you seriously need a tool to accurately measure or reconstruct objects
(or whole sets, for that matter) based on reference images, or if you even
need to matchmove single frames (for sequences, check out another excellent
REALVIZ product, MatchMover Pro), then you simply can't go wrong with
ImageModeler. A remarkable product, at a down-to-earth price, from a
committed developer - it can easily pay for itself in one project, when used
in production." Nick Hatzichristos, Animate This, Greece (Nov. 2004)
Version 4.0 also includes; new modeling constraints, including axis guide,
and distance snapping; a new flexible world space tool, to allow the
definition of more complex coordinate systems and metrics; support of Exif
headers; improved interactions, including; QuickZoom, Interactive Shot
Matching, Zoom/Pan outside the viewport, Selection of buffer settings.
