January 22, 2005 -- Hypercosm LLC, a leader in 3D interactive simulation technology for remote and portable training, education, and design visualization, today announced the release of
the Hypercosm Teleporter for 3D interactive exporting for 3ds max.
Developed for 3D content creators in the graphics, defense, aerospace, and commercial industries, Hypercosm Teleporter is a software tool for efficiently exporting 3D models and
animations from 3ds max into Hypercosm ultra-compact web deployable applets. Teleporter's high fidelity export capabilities let users export models and animations to the web without
limiting creative choices. "A good example," said Abe Megahed, Technology Manager for Hypercosm, "is that many other technologies limit you to strictly rigid body animations. With
Hypercosm Teleporter, the true high level description of the model is retained, which means that you can share your creations without bending over backwards to accommodate the limitations
of your tools."
Hypercosm Teleporter is available for $299 and can be purchased directly from Hypercosm's Web Site: www.hypercosm.com .A free evaluation version can
also be downloaded from the site.
Hypercosm's advantages include:
-Uncommonly low files for web-ready 3ds max models
-Direct publishing to a web page with a just a few mouse clicks
-Free content viewing with the Hypercosm Player
-Built-in peer-to-peer collaborative viewing mode
-High fidelity-complete preservation of object hierarchy, animations, texture mapping, modifiers, and many more features
"Hypercosm's web based simulation technology allows you to create true web-based simulations - not just 3D paperweights that you can spin around," Mr. Megahed continued. "Our unique
approach to encoding 3D scenes results in lower file sizes and allows you to create detailed simulations that in many cases are only a few tens to hundreds of kilobytes in size. This lets
you use 3D that can actually be deployed to where people need the information the most."
Hypercosm Teleporter is the second in a series of 3D software tools that also includes the free Hypercosm Player. This is available for download at www.hyperscosm.com. Hypercosm Studio, a developers kit for scripting the an unlimited set of behaviors, input and output triggers, and interactivity into
exported applets, is currently available for market partners and through our services division. It will be released in 2005.
