Announcing a spectacular demonstration of a new 3D translation technology called InterChange Plus… The "Syndesis 3D-ROM" is a CDROM collection of more than 500 freely distributable 3D models, all present in AutoCAD DXF, 3D Studio, Wavefront .obj, Video Toaster LightWave and Impulse's Imagine PC/Amiga formats. It's also got more than 400 tileable, wrappable texture maps. It includes a fully indexed, cross-referenced catalog of the objects. The disc includes demonstration models from companies such as Viewpoint Animation Engineering. All 28 Viewpoint demo models are present, including the yet-unreleased Siggraph 93 set. More demo objects were contributed by Noumenon Labs, VRS Media, Mira Imaging and other commercial modeling companies. The 3D-ROM is a demonstration of the translation abilities of InterChange Plus, Syndesis's system for converting between 3D file formats. InterChange Plus translates between AutoCAD DXF, 3D Studio, Digital Arts, Wavefront, Swivel, Sculpt, VideoScape, LightWave, Imagine, CAD-3D, PAGErender and Vista DEM formats. Soon to come is support for StereoLithography, Macromedia 3DGF, Super 3D, Alias StyleGuide, Topas, Softimage, Inventor and Vertigo formats. All material and hierarchy information is preserved as best as possible. This ISO-9660 disc is fully accessible from MS-DOS, Macintosh, Amiga and Unix workstations.
