From: alek@teal.csn.org (Alek Komarnitsky) Subject: SOFTWARE: Interactive 3D Apps Builder for Windows and Windows NT Date: 25 May 1993 Crossposted from comp.newprods The World's First Interactive 3D Application Builder for the Windows and Windows NT Environment Spatial Technology Inc. releases Personal ACIS, a toolkit for 3D application development. Personal ACIS enables developers to interactively build 3D applications in the Microsoft Windows and Windows NT environments and is based on ACIS - the world's most widely licensed geometric modeler. WHAT IS ACIS? ACIS is a C++ class library that precisely defines 3D shapes (wireframe, surface and solids) and supports mulitmedia, photo realistic visualization, parametric shape design, and high precision application requirements. ACIS is an industry standard 32-bit geometric modeler that has become the most widely licensed geometric modeler on the market today. A sample of these licensees include; Autodesk, Aries, Applicon, Bentley Systems, Boeing, CADAM, Ford, HP, DEC, IBM, Mercedes, and Sharp. WHAT IS PERSONAL ACIS? Personal ACIS is the World's first interactive 3D application builder crafted specifically for Microsoft Windows and Windows NT. Personal ACIS can be used by anyone to create powerful, interactive, 3D applications FAST - with a precision never before available outside of the UNIX development community! PERSONAL ACIS - Includes three subsystems; Geometry creation, Graphics interaction/manipulation, and Visualization in addition to the full ACIS Geometric Modeler. - Provides access via SCHEME, a fully programmable, interpretive, LISP derivative language with solid modeling extensions. - Is implemented as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL) with Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), and Metafile support. - Provides direct support for Visual Basic, Visual C++, and other Graphical User Interface (GUI) builders to allow developers to rapidly create 3D applications for Windows. - Includes sample Visual Basic user interfaces to help get developers started. The ACIS advantage is the power, precision, and non - proprietary nature of the ACIS Geometric Modeler coupled with the ease of use and speed of developing applications under Windows and Windows NT. Personal ACIS opens doors to developers who need to transition into the world of 3D design and 3D graphics. Never before has technology of this magnitude been available in the Windows marketplace at any price. Personal ACIS is now available for just $495.00.
