Business

MultiGen Inc. is the leading developer of realtime 3D authoring software tools used to create, edit and view interactive scenes for visual simulation, entertainment and CAD visualization applications.

Using MultiGen's tools, developers create software applications that provide users the experience of being in a realistic virtual or fantasy environment. MultiGen's products allow developers easily to create, edit, enrich and view these virtual worlds, speeding the development of the game, simulation or visualization application.

Technology

Visual Database - MultiGen's authoring environment allow developers to see the model they are creating at the same time they are modifying the environment's database. Developers can simultaneously display the hierarchical database and 3D graphs views for modeling and editing objects' relationships in a realtime scene.

Realtime-Ready - Applications developed with MultiGen are able to maintain realtime performance, because the company's tools efficiently utilize the processing power of the playback system by providing less detail on distant objects and minimizing calculations required for off-screen items. The company's products provide level of detail, cullable hierarchy, geometry validation and texture tuning.
