LightWork Design and CoCreate Announce Partnership LightWorks brings new visualisation capabilities to the 2007 CoCreate OneSpace Suite

SHEFFIELD, UK (28 February 2007) - LightWork Design, the world's leading supplier of rendering solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer graphics software, is pleased to announce their collaboration with CoCreate Software Inc., developers of the CoCreate OneSpace Modeling software application, and the release of a LightWorks-based version of the CoCreate OneSpace Modeling 2007 product.

CoCreate have used their collaboration with LightWork Design to enhance both the interactive modelling environment and photorealistic imaging capabilities of OneSpace Modeling. LightWorks products introduce high quality: with features such as Global Illumination and HDRI environments; high performance: with full support for the latest generation of multi-processor systems; and ease of use: with libraries of pre-defined light studios, scenery, and materials.

Full support for LightWorks LWA data format is also included, giving CoCreate users access to digital catalogues of materials such as paints, plastics, metals, carpets and tiles which are available from 3rd parties or via the LightWorks-User web site. LightWorks also makes use of the latest graphics hardware features to introduce photorealistic materials directly within the OneSpace Modeling environment with support for both Cg and OpenGL shader language.

Andy Chapman, LightWork Design CEO, commented "We were particularly pleased that CoCreate chose to integrate LightWorks inside their core modelling environment enhancing the visual experience and introducing photorealism as an integral part of the design workflow."

William M. Gascoigne, CoCreate CEO added "Our partnership with LightWork Design makes high-quality visualisation a core feature within our latest release, building on the digital simulation capabilities available within the CoCreate environment. We are continuing to deliver on our commitment to provide the highest level of value to our users."
