RTT, creators of several custom visualization applications for a wide variety of customers, and Bunkspeed, creators of the GPU-accelerated Shot renderer, have joined together in a partnership.  The two companies are an obvious match, as both use mental images iray in their products.  Together, they aim to integrate Bunkspeed Shot and RTT DeltaGen into a seamless pipeline for modeling and rendering.

Bunkspeed and RTT have each established unique positions within their market segments. While RTT addresses process-oriented 3D visualization solutions for larger corporations, Bunkspeed has established an excellent offering for quick visualization tools at an attractive price point,” said Ludwig A. Fuchs, co-founder and director of RTT. “From a strategic point of view, we see the collaboration with Bunkspeed as a great addition to our portfolio.”

3D technology leaders to collaborate on development

Munich, 10 August 2010 – RTT and Bunkspeed, two global leaders of 3D visualization technology, have come to an agreement on an extensive collaboration that will leverage each company’s  strengths and combine development efforts. The partnership will allow RTT and Bunkspeed to continue to shape how 3D technology will change the way companies work in the future, particularly online.

Fuchs, co-founder and director of RTT. “From a strategic point of view, we see the collaboration with Bunkspeed as a great addition to our portfolio.”

Both brands will continue their work as separate entities; however, development efforts will be shared and leveraged across both companies. In the future, we are also aiming to provide seamless integration between the two core products Bunkspeed Shot and RTT DeltaGen,” Fuchs added.

“We are extremely excited to be working with RTT to integrate our product portfolios,” says Philip Lunn, CEO and founder of Bunkspeed. “Bringing together our best in class solutions offers customers an end-to-end solution to fully leverage their 3D assets for design reviews, marketing and sales.  Our close collaboration will further enhance the ease of use and innovative features of our respective products and spawn new product initiatives.
