MULTIGEN-PARADIGM ANNOUNCES VEGA PRIME 1.2.1
Performance Enhancements and Increased Platform Support

Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) - Orlando, FL - December 1, 2003 - MultiGen-Paradigm, Inc., a leading provider of realtime 3D visual simulation software solutions, today announced Vega Prime v1.2.1. Vega Prime is an extendible, cross-platform, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) C++ development environment that includes MultiGen-Paradigm's advanced low-level scene graph VSG (Vega Scene Graph), as well as a high level abstraction API, delivering a wide range of scalable and customizable features designed for visual simulation, sensor simulation, simulation based training, and urban simulation.

The functionality delivered with Vega Prime v1.2.1 includes multiple performance enhancements as well as the addition of support for SGI® IRIX® and Primary Image's Fabriano 3D image generator. In addition, this latest release delivers Vega Prime Light Lobes and the Path API.

"C-ITS has been using Vega for about four years. We decided to migrate to MultiGen-Paradigm's Vega Prime after evaluating different 3D visualization software," said Johan Forsling project manager at C-ITS. "One very big advantage is the flexibility of Vega Prime. It allows us to use it in all our products, ranging from fire-sequence-trainers to air traffic control simulators. Both we and our customers value the long term support MultiGen-Paradigm provides."

"With the release of Vega Prime v1.2.1, we have significantly enhanced the application performance as well as the breadth of platform options and application specific functionality our users require," said Christian Cole, MultiGen-Paradigm's Director of Product Management for Vega Prime. "Vega Prime's cross-platform and extendible development environment provides our users the flexibility to develop and deploy a wide range of visual simulation applications and to select hardware platforms based on a price point and image quality matched to budgets and performance requirements."
