MULTIGEN-PARADIGM ANNOUNCES CREATOR 2.6
New technology and features enhance productivity in realtime 3D modeling, texturing and design
Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation & Education Conference
(I/ITSEC) - Orlando, FL. - December 2, 2002 - In keeping with its
tradition of delivering the most comprehensive and innovative commercial
tools for authoring interactive, high-fidelity, real-time 3D
applications, MultiGen-Paradigm, Inc., the leading provider of realtime
3D software solutions, announced Creator 2.6. This comprehensive toolset
provides for the rapid generation of optimized object models, high
fidelity terrain and synthetic environments for use in realtime 3D visual
simulation, urban simulation and other visualization applications.
MultiGen Creator 2.6 was developed based on customer feedback and
introduces new technology in key areas:
- Rapid Process Modeling™ (RPM) is a new set of tools that permit
users to more quickly generate automated tree, foliage and building
models for use as point features when generating virtual environments, or
as a basis to more quickly make detailed models from a fast, ground-up
model. These tools automatically orient, texture and attribute the models
they produce for immediate, ready-to-run results.
- Texture Power Tools is another technology push to enhance modeling
productivity and greater realism by making image-centric texture tools,
pushing 3D texturing to the more easily managed and produced 2D image
processing, rather than mapping-centric tools that already exist in
Creator and in other 3D modeling packages.
- Creator 2.6 will also have a new palette to generate light points and
strings for airport site modeling and design, which enables users to
specify the attributes and characteristics of runway lights in the
modeling environment and automatically trust the loader in runtime
applications such as MultiGen-Paradigm's own Vega Prime environment, to
intelligently bring in the data and display the properties as designed
from the outset. These new attributes for Vega Prime are defined in the
new version 15.8 OpenFlight specification.
"The new technologies delivered in Creator 2.6 are the direct
result of listening to our users, building the productivity enhancing
tools they require and tightening the integration of our product lines --
but not at customers' or partners' expense," said Todd Griffith,
Creator product manager, MultiGen-Paradigm. "These tools, as well as
enhanced integration of Creator with Vega Prime, are examples of our
commitment to offer integrated solutions without
"proprietization". Partners and users can easily adopt the new
features knowing that they are part of an open standard, already well
adopted by the industry."

MultiGen Creator 2.6 will be available in Q1 of 2003. For pricing
