Dassault Unveils 3DVIA Studio & Scenes Beta
 SAN FRANCISCO, Mar
10, 2010 – Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D
solutions, today announced the public beta of 3DVIA Studio and 3DVIA Scenes, two
powerful applications that enable new communities of Web users to create,
publish and share highly realistic 3D experiences online. The new 3DVIA
offerings combine the power of social media with content creation apps and
reusable 3D content assets to radically simplify the 3D content creation
process. Both applications are being made available on
3DVIA.com, and are free to all users
during the public beta period. 3DVIA.com is an active and growing community of
more than 150,000 users, made up of 3D enthusiasts, artists, creative
professionals and programmers, and features the 3DVIA Store and user-generated
content warehouse, a rapidly expanding database with over 21,000 reusable 3D
models and assets.
“3DVIA’s mission is to empower anyone to communicate ideas easily and
powerfully in 3D. We have worked hard to open 3D content creation
capabilities to a wider market,” said Lynne Wilson, CEO, 3DVIA, Dassault
Systèmes. “The release of these two new applications marks a significant
milestone in our journey.”
3DVIA Studio is a new 3D development environment for programmers and
artists who want to create complex, interactive games, simulations, serious
games and Web-based applications. 3DVIA Studio is downloadable software that
allows skilled users to create virtually any online 3D experience they
envision through a flexible programming interface, an open architecture and
a 3D hosting platform located at 3DVIA.com. Users can syndicate their 3D
creations to their own websites through an embed code technique similar to
the process found on many online video sites.
The real power for 3DVIA Studio comes from a new social development
concept enabling approved 3DVIA users and third-party developers to create
and distribute custom components—extending the applications functionality
beyond the basic feature set. These custom “add-on” components will be
uploaded and shared through the 3DVIA Store, establishing a very valuable 3D
content creation platform for users well into the future.
3DVIA Scenes is a 100 percent Web-based, multi-user 3D application
platform targeted at creative professionals and 3D enthusiasts looking to
adopt 3D content creation without the need for complicated programming. It
features a simple drag-and-drop interface enabling users to easily build
their online applications using 3D models and pre-programmed 3D “smart
objects” developed and shared through the 3DVIA content warehouse. The 3D
smart objects can range from simple animated elements like lamps and doors
to more complex applications that integrate data from external sources. The
ability for 3DVIA Scenes users to remix content online allows non-technical
users to leverage the power of the highly skilled 3DVIA community.
The two new applications being released to the public are free for
non-commercial use during the beta period, with the goal of capturing
feedback from new users and the existing 3DVIA community. 3DVIA will openly
and actively engage with users to help shape the future product direction.
Both products are expected to emerge from their beta phases with a
“Freemium” business model, allowing a basic edition of each program to
remain free while offering a premium version for commercial use.
Interested parties may contact 3DVIA to discuss the details of the premium
version.
Dassault Systèmes also announced the upcoming release of the first game
title built with 3DVIA Studio – “Billions, Save Them All,” a social game to
be released on Facebook.com later this year.
The new applications and the complete 3DVIA Platform will be showcased at
the 2010 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California, March
11-13 in 3DVIA’s booth (#1432).
