Leading 3D Content Supplier to Provide 3D Data in Interchange Format
MONTREAL, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaydara Inc. and
Viewpoint Corporation (Nasdaq: VWPT) today announced Viewpoint's support for
Kaydara's FBX 3D file interchange format. Through its support of FBX,
Viewpoint, a leader in the field of 3D interactive rich-media marketing
solutions, will make the company's library of 3D models, motion, and
characters available for use in the Kaydara FiLMBOX(R) production pipeline.
Viewpoint's support of the FBX format is a key step in Kaydara's long-term
strategy to bring 3D content and authoring tools to prosumers. FBX, a powerful
3D file format, provides FiLMBOX users with a hub for exchanging and
re-targeting 3D data. This is very useful for content creators who seek to
author and repurpose 3D content for projects in the film, television, game
development, and Web industries.
"The FBX format provides a solid source of content for 3D professionals,"
said John Thomas, vice president of sales and support for Viewpoint.
"Providing native FBX support for our datasets will benefit FiLMBOX users by
offering an optimized pipeline for interactive media development for episodic,
film, and games visualization."
"Viewpoint is an industry-leading supplier of 3D content libraries," said
Michel Besner, president of Kaydara. "We look forward to working closely with
Viewpoint to help continue to develop the content market for the prosumer
space, as well as provide models, motion data, and characters 'on-demand' for
our existing high-end users."
Kaydara will showcase its FBX file format during SIGGRAPH 2001, booth
number 1159.
