realityserverMental Images, creators of MentalRay, have just released RealityServer2.3, a web-based 3D rendering system based on Service Oriented Architectures (SOA).  All this means it’s a web-services framework allowing devleopers to integrate 3D visualizations via Flash or Silverlight, connected to a high-powered backend running RealityServer.

“We’ve built the core of our online 3D service around RealityServer,” said Alain Chesnais, chief technology officer of SceneCaster, a web service that enables users to design and share 3D rooms. “Working closely with the mental images team, we were able to quickly take advantage of several of the new features in RealityServer 2.3. We’re thrilled to be using it in our ‘My 3D Scenes’ application on Facebook and Friendster.”
