CreativePro Staff

Eovia, developer and publisher of leading 3D animation, modeling and rendering software, and Lumiscaphe, maker of realtime 3D technology, today introduced InstantViz™, a new powerful companion product to Amapi Pro, Eovia’s NURBS 3D modeling workshop for product designers, architects and advanced 3D modelers.
InstantViz delivers real-time texturing and photo-realistic 3D imagery of projects, while facilitating interactive review from the moment design begins. InstantViz also gives users the ability to create high-impact presentations of projects at any stage in the process.
“Delivering tools that reduce the design cycle is one of our major objectives,” said Eovia CEO Philippe Richard. “Through this strong partnership with Lumiscaphe, we introduce today a totally innovative solution in digital 3D design that is clearly in line with this aim.”
InstantViz uniquely taps into the power of the latest generation of graphic cards to deliver an interactive display that supports smooth fluidity and striking realism. With InstantViz, designers can easily apply simulations of real textures and their interaction with light to 3D models, and create photo-realistic images in real-time for project reviews.
“The Lumiscaphe’s Know-How is to develop innovative hybrid solutions for real-time photo-realistic 3D rendering,” said Lumiscaphe CEO and Founder Jean-Christophe Leducq. “We are very enthusiastic to open these new exciting opportunities for our technology and are very proud to build this partnership with Eovia and the Amapi product.”
InstantViz is available today as an electronic download from the Eovia web store (www.eovia.com/purchase/webstore.asp). InstantViz is priced $699 with an introductory price of $499 valid until May 31st, 2005.
