3DVIA Supports COLLADA .dae Format
 CONCORD,
Mass. and PARIS, France, Aug 4, 2009 - Dassault Systèmes (DS) (Euronext Paris:
#13065, DSY.PA), the world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
solutions, today announced that 3D models hosted on the 3DVIA.com library,
including those created using the company’s free 3DVIA Shape modeling
application, will now be automatically converted to both Dassault Systèmes’
3DXML format and the COLLADA open 3D format (.dae format) created by the Khronos
Group. The addition of COLLADA support further connects the 3DVIA product lineup
to the wide range of digital content creation (DCC) software and applications
that also support the .dae format.
3DVIA.com is an online community where over 110,000 registered 3D
artists, application developers and enthusiasts from around the world
interact with one another, learn from 3D experts and exchange their own 3D
creations online through the 3DVIA interactive viewer. 3DVIA already
supports the uploading and sharing of 3D models in many popular file
formats, including: .3dxml, .3ds, .obj, .kmz, .iges and .step. To support
the COLLADA announcement, the site has converted all existing 15,000 public
models over to the .dae format and will automatically convert and store any
new models published to the public warehouse in both formats.
"Khronos warmly welcomes Dassault Systèmes' adoption of COLLADA to foster the
widely accessible exchange of 3D models on 3DVIA.com. Use of COLLADA will not
only enable a vibrant modeling community across diverse markets, it will protect
designers' investment in assets as their design evolves over the years," said
Neil Trevett, president of the Khronos Group and vice president of NVIDIA.
“Our goal is to make it extremely easy for a broad community to leverage 3D
as a communication medium—empowering all kinds of people to create and share
professional quality, 3D experiences,” said Lynne Wilson, CEO of Dassault
Systèmes’ 3DVIA brand. “Having both 3DXML and COLLADA uniquely positions
3DVIA.com to collect, showcase and share the wide array of 3D content created by
the both the CAD and DCC communities.”
Attendees of this year’s SIGGRAPH event can visit the 3DVIA booth #3009 where
3DVIA will demonstrate its complete product line, including the new COLLADA
support. 3DVIA will also publish a live video stream of its SIGGRAPH
demonstrations through both www.3DVIA.com and
www.3DVIA.tv.
