GHOST 3D Releases 2010 Suite for 3ds max
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, May 1, 2009 – GHOST 3D demonstrates and officially releases the new 2010 versions of its 3D modeling, digitizing, 3D manipulation, animation, visualization, and reverse engineering products. The products have been optimized for work flow, general 32-bit and 64-bit performance, support of Autodesk 3ds max 2010 as well as 3ds max Design, Maya, Autodesk Viz, prior versions of 3D Studio, and other mainstream 3D products. GHOST 3D’s 3D software and 3D digitizing/scanning systems continue to provide comprehensive solutions for a variety of 3D applications.
The new releases include Scribe-iT, Power Modeler Pack, Power Digitizer Pack, ResErect, and Surf-iT each of which support a variety of mainstream 3D applications. Collectively, GHOST 3D’s product portfolio offers powerful 3D modeling, digitizing, scan-surfacing, polygon meshing, conversion and other tools and utilities for 3D designers, modelers, manufacturers, engineers, sculptors, animators, artists and other experts in the games, manufacturing, television, film, design, and visualization industries.
Power Modeler Pack and Surf-iT products each deliver a full suite of modeling tools giving 3D content creators and designers the ability to create accurate 3D models simply using both 3D and 2D design and drawing techniques. Both products incorporate a rapid and diverse modular approach to Spline surface modeling with non-linear parametric conversion features. Users can frame out complex surfaces quickly and accurately by drawing, refining and editing Spline-based surface objects, convert to subdivision Polygon objects, NURMS, NURBS, or Mesh, for further editing or export to popular file formats. Surf-iT and Power Modeler Pack ensure outstanding content that can be used with most tools in the 3D production pipeline. Additional highlights include parametric drag-and-drop 3D-Spline objects for ideal frameworks, advanced parametric Spline editing and surfacing, and loads of modeling enhancements to enable quick production of 3D models with optimal geometry.
ResErect is a unique conversion tool allowing you to rebuild Mesh, Patch, Primitive, and Splines to optimized Bezier Splines. The plug-in for 3ds max and Design offers Spline conversion while preserving animation; tools and parameters to aid in patch surfacing, and a special file import conversion for importing Hash’s Animation Master patch-based models with texture mapping.
Combined with a bundled 3D CMM digitizer, Scribe-iT and Power Digitizer Pack solutions deliver 3D digitizing, interactive visualization, inspection, reverse engineering, animation and 3D modeling solutions that enable the digital capture, creation, and manipulation of accurate, high-quality, editable 3D models as polygon and CAD geometry, 3D measurements, animation, and other data from physical objects.
Over the years, GHOST 3D’s premiere highly acclaimed digitizing tools have been revolutionizing the way people use CMMs (Coordinate Measurement Machines) and contact 3D-digitizer devices. Evolved from the very first 3D digitizing solutions for Autodesk products, Scribe-iT and Power Digitizer Pack are complete solutions for designers, artists and engineers to 3D digitize, interact with, modify, and even animate physical objects inside a 3-dimensional scene. Each product contains the power and versatility of multiple creation modes, hybrid modeling, conversion, editing techniques, and the ability to incorporate parametric modifiers into the digitizing process. Scribe-iT and Power Digitizer Pack support CMMs, 3D scanners, and 3D digitizers as an add-on or through integrated GHOST 3D Systems packages, including MicroScribe or FaroArm devices.
