| Dassault Systèmes Releases 3DVIA MP Development Platform Dassault Systèmes has announced the release of 3DVIA MP, a development platform with a realistic real-time rendering engine for PC and Xbox 360. 3DVIA MP will significantly improve the game development process by quickly bringing ideas into reality and aiding developers in producing high-end, 3D multiplatform games. 3DVIA MP for PlayStation 3 and Web deployments will become available in the summer of 2008. 3DVIA MP strengthens and extends the philosophy and functionality of the Virtools 4 product line. Established in 1999, Virtools 4 technology, known for its unique behavioral engine, is the standard for game prototyping, casual games production and industrial applications, both online and offline. The all-new platform, 3DVIA MP, complements the IP creation process and leverages its signature behavioral engine with the capacity to exploit the power of the Xbox 360 and PS3 in production. 3DVIA MP provides a high-end, realistic real-time rendering engine, which serves as the native support for multi-core processing, advanced shaders and lighting, and the depth of a full multiplatform production framework, allowing larger teams to collaborate. 3DVIA MP is available in two forms: - 3DVIA MP Prototyping for creative teams to build prototypes on PC and test them directly on target platforms (high-end PC, Xbox 360 and PS3); - 3DVIA MP Production is the complete and flexible integrated production pipeline designed for multi-platform game development projects. 3DVIA MP will be showcased at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco February 20-22. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Game News :: home page |
