This version allows to export all your models into OpenSpace3D, with separate objects, in order to make them interactive.

A quick video tutorial is available on our Youtube channel.
It shows how to make a virtual tour with interactive content in less than five minutes with a Sketchup model.

This new release adds much more stablility and ergonomics. It also contains many new features: integration of physics, flash control, stereo mode, browser plugins, network and comes with new demos.
With this new release we aim to develop new uses for 3D real-time collaboration in the field of training (serious games), simulation, marketing (Virtual Showroom) e-commerce, real estate ( virtual tours) and industry (rapid prototyping) and offer an alternative to proprietary platforms.
I-Maginer offers you a partnership in your 3D real-time development projects with a wide range of services associated with the opensource platform Openspace3D:

  • Project management consulting
  • Custom development
  • Training
  • Integration and server installation

Our production and R & D teams (project managers, engineers, developers and technicians) are at your service.
Feel free to contact us directly for more information.

For some time (since November 2008), we have been actively working on the integration of the open source 3D engine Ogre (http://www.ogre3d.org).

Several reasons motivated this choice:
First, we wanted to enable SCOL developers to create high quality 3D environments in line with current developments of 3D engines. Indeed, the current engine ZooEngine had changed little since 2002 and was somewhat outdated.
Rather than reinventing the wheel it was better to focus on developing a new 3D engine incorporating powerful features. That is what motivated our choice of Ogre 3D.

This development allows a better compatibility, a higher rendering quality and higher performances of 3D in SCOL.

The new plugin (dll) for SCOL / Ogre interfacing is the SO3Engine.

Its purpose is to allow a high-level use of the Ogre 3D engine in order to combine these new features with the existing SCOL API.
This project is very promising. It aims to revive the interest of 3D developers to SCOL technology and to add a more computer graphic oriented community.

We will deliver to the SCOL community these developments during the month of April, under Open Source license : the SO3Engine, the Ogre (v1.6.1)redistributable and documentation.

In addition, we will deliver our SCOL developments that will allow anyone to use this new API: an interactive 3d scene editor (offline and mono-user at first). This application, named OpenSpace 3D, will allow you to edit a 3d ogre / Scol scene and to implement features

OpenSpace3D’s aim is to help develop new 3D environments in the field of collaborative work (distant meetings, webconferences), training (virtual classroom, learning and serious games), simulation, innovation, e-commerce ( virtual shops and malls), social networks for expression and sharing (personal 3D spaces) or massively multiuser games (MMOG)… for both B2B and B2C uses based on 3D and real-time collaboration.

These developments set a new direction for I-Maginer that is now positioned in the field of integration and development of open source technologies as an Open Source computing service company. The open source platform OpenSpace3D will spearhead.
More to come really soon.
