Okino Celebrates 20th Anniversary
 TORONTO, Canada,
Jan 29, 2008 – Okino Computer Graphics, a leading provider and pioneer of 3D
data translation technologies and solutions, is proud to celebrate its 20th
anniversary of product development, starting January 28th 1988. The original
development is still at the core of all Okino software. Staying true to
their original goals and values, Okino’s PolyTrans, NuGraf and related
software products have evolved into a series of mission and application
critical software applications used the world over by 10’s of thousands of
3D professionals, enterprise companies, movie & television animation
production houses, military & government institutions, and many others.
 “As
founder of Okino and a key software architect of its products, I am very
pleased to have seen my company make a major impact on the 3D graphics
market over the last 20 years, particularly related to its pioneering
efforts in the universal conversion of all major CAD, DCC (animation) and
VisSim file formats, and related programs,” said Robert Lansdale, CEO and
founder of Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. “For those who do not know of Okino,
we have always been one of the most approachable, accessible, down to earth
and innovative R&D companies in the 3D graphics market. We have always
prided ourselves in placing our customers first, which has always been one
of the key reasons for owning and using Okino software. PolyTrans & NuGraf
are two of the most widely used and refined 3D conversion + visualization
programs on the market, with personal hands-on support not often seen in
this day and age. From everyone at Okino we would genuinely like to thank
our user base for 20 years of wonderful cooperation, friendly communication
and continued dedication to the use of our software.”
Okino has long been a primary innovator and provider of 3D data
translation software, pioneering the concept of universal, bidirectional and
robust conversion of 3D asset data between all the main CAD, DCC and VisSim
file formats and programs. Okino’s PolyTrans was the first to provide
bidirectional animation conversion amongst all 3D animation programs &
related file formats (3ds Max, Maya, Softimage|3D, Softimage|XSI, Lightwave,
DirectX, U3D, Collada, FBX, BVH, VRML2/X3D, XAML-3D and more), the first to
bring cost effective and fully robust CAD converters to the masses, the
first to provide dedicated & native 3D converter systems for 3ds Max & Maya
(well before they became popular), the first to provide complete scene
content conversions with “Load & Render” capabilities, the first to provide
accurate, working & guaranteed skinning + skeleton conversions (now amongst
3ds Max, Maya, XSI, Lightwave, DirectX, FBX, U3D, Collada, etc), the first
to provide support for all major 3D file formats in their native forms, and
the list goes on. PolyTrans, and its elder NuGraf, have affected the lives
and work of a significant number of people and companies in the 3D graphics
world, reducing their workload considerably (no need to recreate 3D assets
from scratch), allowing companies to keep fewer but more specialized 3D
artists on staff (no need to retrain them for another 3D animation package),
creating bidirectional 3D pipelines where no such capability existed before,
and by having Okino staff provide very personal and hands-on tech support.
