SAN FRANCISCO and TORONTO, Sept. 4 CA-SceneCaster-New
SAN FRANCISCO and TORONTO, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- SceneCaster, one of the
world's fastest-growing 3D Web applications, today announced new functionality
with its ability to support the Khronos(TM) Group new COLLADA(TM) 1.5.0
specification. This expanded functionality now enables SceneCaster's 3D
content to be exported to and shared with other 3D applications and authoring
packages across all delivery platforms.
"Our driving philosophy has always been to support and promote open
standards and interoperability exchange," said Alain Chesnais, Chief
Technology Officer of SceneCaster. "As more and more applications support
COLLADA, it will enable 3D content, such as that created by SceneCaster users,
to be repurposed by industries in need of a new source for content.
SceneCaster is pleased to further 3D content exchange and accessibility with
its support of COLLADA."
"The Khronos COLLADA Working Group is pleased to see industry adoption for
COLLADA 1.5 happening so quickly. Merging the virtual worlds with real world
data opens up new market opportunities for content service companies such as
SceneCaster," says Rita Turkowski, Khronos COLLADA Marketing Chair.
By adding COLLADA export to the toolkit that users have at their disposal,
SceneCaster demonstrates that it openly supports and encourages 3D content
exchange with other programs. SceneCaster already allows users to embed 3D
scenes in any Web page or blog, and view them without requiring a download or
a plug-in. Now, SceneCaster content can also be shared with users working
with any open standards-based 3D solution that reads COLLADA files.
