VIRTOOLS™ and Right Hemisphere Announce a Partnership to Offer Conversion Tools to the Virtools User Community Based on Right Hemisphere's 3D format translation technology,
Deep Exploration, the upcoming Virtools OpenCAD Module
will provide Virtools customers with the ability to convert Catia,
PTC and other industry standard models into Virtools models. Virtools
and Right Hemisphere are working together on a solution that blends
the existing tools of Right Hemisphere into a new add-on module
developed by Virtools that converts CAD models into the Virtools
NMO file format. This Virtools OpenCAD Module will present great
opportunities for CAD users to finally enter the world of realtime
3D interactivity delivered by Virtools. Virtools OpenCAD will allow
them to create 3D interactive content for Virtual Reality or Simulation
applications such as virtual training, interactive project reviews,
design and 3D product visualization for publishing to various mediums
including CD Rom, Internet, Virtual Reality immersive displays,
etc. The new Virtools OpenCAD Module will allow end-users to convert any kind of file, particularly CAD files, for integration into the Virtools development platform where interactivity required for Virtual Reality and Simulation projects can be graphically scripted. Virtools OpenCAD supports most commonly used CAD formats, such as CATIA, ProEngineer, AutoCAD, Solidworks and more. The new Virtools OpenCAD module will allow users to actively control the conversion process, by fine-tuning different parameters when converting files, such as file size, elimination of small elements, redefining the hierarchy, etc. in order to perfectly optimize models for the constraints of real-time 3D. It will also include a batch processor to facilitate iterative tasks. Virtools OpenCAD Module will create optimized files for the creation
of interactivity in Virtools's user-friendly GUI interface, allowing
efficient deployment of most any type of real-time 3D applications.
