Joint Technology for Advanced 3D Applications
San Diego, CA - 19 Feb 2002 -- IntegrityWare and 3D Compression Technologies jointly announce the integration of IntegrityWare's POPLib and 3DCompress v1.1.0. The combination of 3DCompress and POPLib gives web applications developers powerful tools for developing high performance advanced 3D applications. These two superior technologies are now integrated at the software level, allowing developers flexible programming access to the powerful capabilities of both software packages. 3DCompress, the core product of 3D Compression Technologies, Inc, compresses 3D polygonal meshes up to 98% of their original size with no quality loss. This product has been designed to overcome the transmission and rendering obstacles in today's client-server networked environments. IntegrityWare's POPLib is the leading edge solution for 3D polygon mesh generation; POPLib generates optimal polygons for NURBS based trimmed surfaces and solids models, greatly expanding the scope of applications that can take advantage of 3D Compress' capability to compress the polygons resulting in a small file/stream size. POPLib also supports polygonal boolean operations, ray firing, measurement, and interference detection. The integration of 3DCompress and POPLib opens up a world of possibilities for your POPLib 3D polygonal content by making it practical to share this data with clients on the internet. 3DCompress incorporates an innovative methodology which smartly encodes the geometry, color, texture and topology of a 3D object in a way that drastically compresses a file to a mere fraction of its original size without loss of data. 3DCompress also comes with a suite of content preparation tools such as feature detection, segmentation, mesh healing, texture application, and web publishing support. File formats supported include STL, PLY, 3DS, OBJ, VRML 2.0. The addition of POPLib opens up the possibility of importing many other formats such as IGES, SAT, STEP, VDAFS. Platforms supported include Win 9x, ME, NT, 2000. 3DSee is a free, client-side ActiveX (IE) and Plugin (Netscape) viewer. Anyone can view your compressed 3D objects by downloading 3DSee. It is the smallest viewer on the market at 190K. 3DSee comes with JavaScript controls such as zoom, rotate, color changes, shading, wireframe, and cut-away views.
