Redway3d, ODA to Co-Develop Accelerated 2D/3D Graphics
 PHOENIX,
AZ, and PARIS, France, Jul 8, 2009 – The Open Design Alliance (ODA) and
Redway3d S.A.S. today announced their cooperation to develop accelerated
2D/3D graphics for the DWGdirect and DGNdirect platforms, based on the RED
engine graphics technology.
Arnold van der Weide, ODA President, stated, “The ODA is actively
developing partnerships with component providers, including Redway3d, to
offer graphics solutions to ODA members. This collaboration will allow our
members to offer improved 2D and 3D graphics performance to their
end-users.”
Neil Peterson, ODA CTO, added, “While ODA members will still have the
standard OpenGL and DirectX device options, Redway3d is the only device to
offer a plug-in approach to the ODA graphics device system. This approach
validates the graphics device concept common to all ODA APIs and thus
provides native and stable DWGdirect and DGNdirect compatibility.”
Lionel Schmitt, CEO of Redway3d, commented, “Redway3d introduced the RED
graphics device during the ODA World Conference in Leiden, The Netherlands,
in April. The feedback was excellent and several ODA members immediately
started integrating the RED graphics device into their software. I also
strongly believe our run-time/royalty free business model will meet the ODA
members’ expectations.”
About DWGdirect and DGNdirect
DWGdirect and DGNdirect are development environments for creating custom
CAD and technical graphics applications using the C++ and .NET development
languages. They include full support for the DWG, DXF and DGN file formats,
a powerful object-oriented C++ API, and a rich feature set for editing,
manipulating and rendering CAD data. DWGdirect includes support for DRX
(DWGdirect Runtime eXtension) component technology, which can be used to
build modular components that support custom objects and custom commands.
About Open Design Alliance
The Open Design Alliance is a non-profit consortium of over 2,000
software developers and users committed to promoting open, industry-standard
formats for the exchange of CAD data and CAD legacy data. The ODA technology
platform provides users with tools to create a wide range of applications,
including custom data access and editing utilities, visualization tools, and
even full-scale CAD systems. The platform also supports the use of both DWG
and DGN files, with import and export capabilities to other file formats.
The Open Design Alliance maintains the OpenDWG library and publishes the
OpenDWG file specification.

About Redway3d S.A.S.
Redway3d S.A.S. is an independent software development company based in
Saint-Cloud (Paris area), France. Redway3d was the first and still the sole
company to offer a single API that covers all visualization needs from 2D to
real-time 3D as well as photo-realistic rendering, according to a
run-time/royalty-free business model.
