Virtools™ 4
Virtools 4 is the core platform for creating highly interactive 3D applications. Virtools authoring software is built on the Virtools Behavioral Engine and offers an innovative graphical user interface for intuitive programming and production. Use Virtools standard library of behavior building blocks (BBs) to create complex interactivity, or customize and embed your own components with the Virtools SDK.
Add-on Libraries
Multiuser Server
The Multiuser Server is an extension of Virtools platform used for creating multiuser applications, establishing database connectivity and ensuring accessibility of custom components. As a comprehensive authoring tool, the Multiuser Server lets you develop and test your multiuser applications with up to four simultaneous connections.
Physics Library
Based on Havok technology, the Physics Library is an add-on library for Virtools developers who want to inject lifelike physics into their applications. Consisting of 29 new building blocks, the Physics Library provides access to features like gravity, mass, friction, elasticity, physical constraints between objects, and advanced physics models like buoyancy, force fields and car behaviors. These features speed up development, replacing tedious animation work and algorithm implementation by artists and programmers while remaining compatible with existing Virtools non-physics behaviors.
VR Library
The VR Library greatly simplifies authoring complex VR systems using Virtools 4 and building sophisticated immersive experiences using industry standard VR peripherals and PC-based distributed computing (clusters).
AI Library
The Artificial Intelligence Library for Virtools Platform brings a new dimension in realism and credibility to you 3D experiences. This add-on library of building blocks is especially geared to managing autonomous characters. The AI Library lets development teams create applications with all the power of AI – directly in Virtools’ platform.
VR Publisher
The VR Publisher lets users publish or publicly display content created with the VR Library on Virtual Reality devices and displays (cubic rooms, panoramic rooms, image walls, etc.). The VR Publisher provides you with specific publishing modules depending on the VR configuration you want to run.
Multiuser Publishing Server
This module is required to deploy multiuser content developed with Virtools 4 and the Multiuser Server’s features, specifically offering unlimited connections.
3D Life Player
The 3D Life Player is the Virtools downloadable player that lets endusers experience Virtools interactive 3D content on the web. Deliver any standard content made with Virtools to the ever-growing user base with no additional development needed. Installation is straightforward and updates are made automatically through a robust and reliable technology.
3D Office Player
Developed with the Product/Context/Scenario approach in mind, the 3D Office Player is a standalone player making it possible for users within a company to share life-like experiences, as applied to virtual products made with 3D modelling software, across the company infrastructure. The 3D Office Player comes with a simple and intuitive user interface and easy-to-use navigation scenario. The 3D Office Player can also be embedded in applications such as Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Word, Excel or Internet Explorer.
3D XE Player
Based on the 3D Office Player, the 3D XE Player extends capabilities to enable more specific and complex operations, allowing Virtools developers to create richer, more customized applications (custom dlls, XML reader, ODBC connectivity, extended saving capabilities). All 3D Office Player features and building blocks are also available to 3D XE Player developers.
