REALVIZ ships ImageModeler version 3.5

REALVIZ®, a leader in image processing software development, has announced the availability of ImageModeler® 3.5, available for the very first time on the Macintosh platform.
Using photographs as a revolutionary approach to 3D content creation, REALVIZ ImageModeler 3.5, offers an innovative and intuitive approach to the often time-consuming and complex task of creating 3D models. With an advanced workflow-driven interface, and refined modelling toolset, ImageModeler 3.5 is the result of over a year's intensive work, drastically improving workflow processes and productivity levels, whilst enabling the accurate re-creation of even the most complex of objects or scenes. 3D and non-3D artists alike are able to commence production immediately.
A Windows® XP/2000 version of the application is also slated for release in Q1 2003.
Using advanced algorithms, REALVIZ ImageModeler 3.5 extracts 3D information from photographs, and helps users to measure and recreate accurate 3D models with highly realistic results. Automatic texturing from photographs drastically reduces the time necessary to create high-quality models compared to traditional 3D modelling applications. Additional features such as the ability to make point-to-point measurements and to create texture per object with the Unwrap Texture feature help users create models that suit their individual needs. A new calibration engine makes for significantly faster and more accurate scene reconstruction for amazingly life-like models and textures, which can then be exported to your other packages.
ImageModeler is a multifaceted application, which can be employed by 3D content creators working in numerous industries. It can be used for modelling scenes or buildings for architectural purposes, for example, for calculations and 3D surveys from photographs, for creating 3D virtual visits and the fast creation of photo-realistic backdrops, for human modelling, industrial design, animation and special effects, or for the simple creation of photo-realistic objects compatible with Web 3D formats.
Macworld UK recently named REALVIZ ImageModeler 3.5 as one of the winners of the prestigious Macworld 'Best of Show' Awards, representing the most exciting hardware and software products announced at MacExpo 2002 at the Business Design Centre in London.
REALVIZ ImageModeler 3.5 is currently available for Mac OS X and for existing ImageModeler customers up-grade arrangements apply.
A Windows XP/2000 version of ImageModeler 3.5 will be available in late Q1 2003.
