Multiuser Server

Deploy Multiuser 3D Applications With Rich Interactivity

 

The Multiuser Server helps developers create multiuser applications based on a high performance networking engine and makes it possible to deploy adaptive 3D content over the Internet or on local networks. Stop worrying about arcane networking protocols and the complexity of distributed objects, and concentrate instead on bringing people together with immersive and userpersonnalized applications.

Create Multiuser Applications The Virtools Way

Multiuser applications are fast and easy to build with Virtools Platform and the Multiuser Server. Powerful technology is once again made simple through Virtools' easy-to-use building blocks. Virtools has already solved many of the annoying problems that make multiuser applications such a challenge to develop, leaving developers free to concentrate on creating interactive multiuser 3D content instead of worrying about network protocols and the underlying infrastructure.

The Multiuser Server provides for two different types of multiuser servers, according to the type of multiuser application created: Standalone Server or Peer Server.

The Multiuser Server Consists of Two Packs

  1. Multiuser Server - Admin Pack
    The Admin Pack contains the Server application and Server Side Modules. The Multiuser Server is a standard service that runs on Microsoft Windows. Tools provided let you track a wide range of reports and statistics.
  2. Multiuser Server – Authoring Pack
    The Authoring Pack contains client side modules for use with Virtools 4. A number of tools, tutorials and sample compositions are included to show authors what can be done with the Multiuser Server.
