Okino Secondary 3D Conversion Pipeline Supports AGI STK
 TORONTO, Canada,
Oct 17, 2008 – After 10 years of collaborative activity, AGI ‘Affiliated
Product Partner’ Okino Computer Graphics announced today that a secondary,
complementary data conversion pipeline in Okino’s PolyTrans|CAD (using the
COLLADA format) gives STK users the ability to evaluate the new COLLADA
model import (beta) capability of AGI’s STK software.
For over ten years Okino has been a primary provider of cost effective and
robust 3D data translation software to STK users around the globe.
Okino’s PolyTrans|CAD converts from native CAD file formats such as ACIS
SAT, Alias .wire, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD DXF/DWG, CATIA v4+5, DWF, IGES,
JT Open, Parasolid, Pro/Engineer, Rhino-3D, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, STEP,
STL, XGL, U3D, VDA-FS, XGL, X3D and many others. Complete control is
provided over final scene complexity, as well as tools to handle small parts
removal, robust hierarchy/scene optimization and polygon reduction.
Okino's DCC/Animation side of the company provides conversion to STK from
all other major 3D animation packages and DCC file formats such as 3ds Max,
Maya, Lightwave, Softimage XSI, COLLADA, DEM, DirectX, ESRI, FACT, FBX, OBJ,
OpenFlight, PDB, PLY, SketchUp, VRML1+2, XAML and X3D.
“I am very pleased to have supported STK users for just over ten years now,"
said Robert Lansdale, President and CEO of Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. “We
have had a very friendly and ongoing relationship with AGI and its STK user
base over the years. We are now pleased to announce that an additional 3D
conversion pipeline is available from Okino conversion software using
COLLADA. We have one of the most extensively developed and feature rich
COLLADA exporters in the 3D industry, which will benefit STK users requiring
top quality CAD, DCC and VisSim file format conversions. Our conversion
pipelines have been in development and use for up to 20 years, and hence
they are rock stable and used extensively by tens of thousands of enterprise
and 3D professionals around the world.”
For those not familiar with AGI’s STK software, it calculates the positions
of land, sea, air, and space assets and their movements over time. Multiple
analytical and numerical propagators compute vehicle positions in a wide
variety of coordinate systems. Effects such as Earth oblateness, pole
wander, leap second, solar radiation pressure, lunar effects, atmospheric
drag, light time delay, and terrain are taken into account to compute
results with the highest accuracy.
The analysis software can be used as a standalone, out-of-the-box desktop
application; integrated into an enterprise or service-oriented architecture;
or embedded into other applications.
