Simulations, Training, & Visualizations

"Rapid World Building with All-In-One Toolset"

Visual3D provides more than just mission editing, it provides an entire platform on which simulation products can be built.

Visual3D brings together all of the tools needed create simulations into a single software product. Tools for rapid scenario development, real world terrain creation, artificial intelligence scripting, multi-user simulation development and more are integrated into a single toolset.

Most vendors require you to purchase many separate products in order to develop simulations. This results in a complex, tedious process in which a substantial amount of time and money is required. By integrating all of the required tools together, Visual3D enables teams to work faster and more efficiently to get simulations into use and market sooner.

Built On Microsoft .NET/XNA/C# for Rapid Development and Integration with Applications, Web Services, and Multi-User Simulation Servers

One of the key advantages of the Visual3D Game Engine, as the first and leading purely managed engine is in the ease of integration with 3rd party simulation servers, applications, web services and user interfaces, whether written in C#, Visual Basic, C++, or other .NET languages, as covered in the Programming Manual.

Due to its being the first and leading 3D simulation engine and toolset built entirely on Microsoft .NET, C# and XNA, the Visual3D Game Engine brings the rapid development benefits of C#, Visual Studio and other Microsoft development tools and technologies to realtime 3D game and simulation development, including the best-of-breed debugging, testing, and edit-and-continue development benefits of Visual Studio.

Many training applications, 3D simulations, and visualizations require the integration of mission critical tools and middleware such as simulation engines, VOIP clients, or specialized networking software. Visual3D supports simplified integration of these tools through a flexible plug-in based architecture.

And Realmware Outsourcing Services can handle integration, customization and even application development, start-to-fish, to reduce time, risk and cost in bringing your product to market. accelerate bringing your product to market.

Conversation-based Training Scenarios with Facial Expressions, Lip Syncing, Gesture Animation, and Speech Recognition (Spoken Responses & Voice Commands)

Checkout the Scripting Manual for information on our Conversation (Dialogue) Editor, Visual Programming, Cinematic/Command Sequence Timelines, Behavior Tree, and Triggered States (Actions and Objectives), and Path/Road/Waypoint Design tools.

Visual3D supports advanced human simulation, with facial expressions, lip syncing, and gestures, complete with support for morph target animation - which few engines support, but which most stock models available require, and which is much easier to setup, avoids need for expensive facial rigging tools, and provides higher fidelity animation.

Visual3D is the first and currently only engine and content creation tool to provide support for importing characters from DAZ Studio / Poser, complete with facial animation. This allows use of the vast marketplace of highest quality royalty-free, fully rigged and animated characters - yet inexpensive - characters, complete with clothes and equipment (for doctor, soldier, businessman, etc.) available on the DAZ Developer Marketplace.
