Texture option.
Add a comprehensive set of texture modeling tools to the MultiGen modeling desktop.- Create, edit, and apply textures to enhance the realism of 3D visual simulation without increasing surface complexity.
- Take advantage of extended support for many 2D texture formats, including GIF, TIFF, PCX, JPEG, IFF, Alias PIX, and Wavefront RLA. Each image is automatically converted to Silicon Graphic, Inc.'s format when it is loaded.
Terrain options.
Support various levels of terrain modeling sophistication, up through the automatic generation of very large, efficient realtime visual databases:
- DMA DTED Conversion Option: Convert DTED or USGS to a polygonal terrain skin. User-controlled preferences provide optimal rendering of areas such as ridges, valleys, and coastlines. A database reorganization tool allows you to modify the database structure while optimizing runtime performance for different mission requirements.
- DMA DFAD Conversion Option: Convert DFAD data into polygonal objects and merge them with the terrain skin produced by the terrain option. Ifrequired, these objects can be automatically replaced by models from an extensive DFAD library which is included with the option.
- SIF Conversion Option: Input SIF source, texture, feature, vector, and model data for processing within the MultiGen realtime database. Output MultiGen polygonal databases as SIF, DTED, and DFAD files.
- Advanced Terrain Processing Option: Automatically build efficient mission-specific visual databases that are many degrees of latitude and longitude in size. In addition, define the rules and actions that control the conversion of source data into a complete realtime 3D database.
- Loral/BBN S1000 Import Option: Convert S1000 databases to MultiGen's OpenFlight(tm) format.
- DFAD Editor DFADGen(tm): Available fully-integrated into the MultiGen environment or as a stand-alone tool to create or edit DFAD data.
- Separating Plane Tree (SPT) Option: Take advantage of a binary separated database to speed drawing time for rendering models in realtime. Use MultiGen's SPT capabilities to streamline the process of embedding separating planes into the database, allowing cost-effective image generators to deliver maximum graphic performance. MultiGen's OpenFlight format now includes separating plane beads, automatic tools to slice models and embed separating planes, and a binary separating plane (BSP) viewing mode to ensure correct target image generator rendering.
- Instrumentation Option: Rapidly construct instrumentation displays. Features include tools for the generation of dials, attitude indicators, vertical tapes, dynamic text, static text, and pointer libraries, plus a complete range of image management facilities to ensure optimal runtime rendering.
Behavior Option: Define the behavior and attributes of any object in the visual database. Link object attributes to external data and files, as well as to provide functions using a drag and drop interface. Define arithmetic and logical interactions between database elements and external data. Preview, test and edit all database attributes including position, size, color, and texture.
- Import/Export Option: Gain the flexibility to create, import and export models. Import models for modification and application within MultiGen, where data is reduced, reorganized, and provided with the attributes necessary for optimized realtime image generation.
- DXF import/export. Access a huge variety of source data with this proven
- Import Alias, Wavefront .obj and 3D Studio data. Import models from these widely-used animation modeling systems and convert them into realtime models using MultiGen.
- Road Tools Option: Rapidly create databases that conform to civil engineering rules and regulations. Automatic cross section generation, level of detail generation, feature placement, texture placement, and lane control data among the many features provided. This option meets the needs of the world's most sophisticated automobile and truck simulators.
- Audio Option: Define sound textures, preview them for positioning, and attach them to objects, with realtime attributes such as volume, pitchblend, one-shot or continuous, and doppler. Gain full compatibility with Silicon Graphics, Inc.'s audio libraries.
