EON Raptor - FREE plugin for Serious Games

EON Reality Releases EON Raptor™ 5.5 – The FREE Software for Serious Games

IRVINE, California. April 20, 2006— EON Reality Inc., a world leader in interactive visual content management software, today announced EON Raptor™ – The free software for serious games.

EON Raptor™ is a free 3ds Max plug-in that enables you to display and interact with 3ds Max content in real-time with intuitive controls. Simple interactive behaviors can also be authored rapidly without leaving 3ds Max.

The completed application can be published without any cost to a web page for viewing with a browser, exported to a standalone file for viewing with the free EON Viewer™ application or exported to EON Professional™ for further editing to create even more interactive and realistic 3D applications.

Run demo! (1.3MB)

In the 1930s, the movies inspired innovative companies to create the first commercials. Today’s generation has grown up with games and expect information to be interactive, 3D compelling in real-time, as in a game. They do not want to be fed passive information. They want to try, enquire, explore and configure. Smart companies like Toyota/Lexus, Boeing, Suzuki, and Siemens are quickly adapting their communications to this new and rapidly growing trend by using EON’s software.

“With EON’s holographic display solutions and content development, we were able to communicate on a new level in our ongoing Lexus marketing campaign,” said Jennifer Weinberg, project leader for Team One. “The excitement this program has generated in over half a dozen major U.S. locations is unprecedented. EON’s 3D has helped differentiate our branding in a fun and entertaining way.”

Why look at a static picture, a pre-rendered animation, when you can explore and share your models in full virtual reality for free?

With the use of EON Raptor™, the 3ds Max user can create interactive walkthroughs and product configurations within minutes, saving time and money and offering a more flexible development tool, due to its interactive nature.

Check out this flashmovie to see how easy it is to create interactive 3D with EON Raptor™.

“EON Reality’s Raptor has, in my opinion, succeeded in creating a piece of software that makes the creation of the virtual content completely effortless. I think this software is a ‘must have’. H. Edward Goldberg, AIA, is a practicing Industrial Designer and an architect. He is also coordinator of industrial design at Towson, University in Towson Maryland. Ed is the Author of The Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3 Book published by Prentice Hall,” according to CAD Digest. Read the full review here.

“Discreet 3ds Max artists can publish their content for high-quality 3D interactivity on-line or off-line using the EON Raptor™, all within the familiar 3ds Max environment. The EON Raptor™ controls provide an easy-to-use, GUI-based click and point authoring environment and free publishing, “said Jon A. Bell, Discreet Developer Relations Manager.

Download and install EON Raptor™, the ultimate 3ds Max plug-in, and create your own interactive virtual dream world!

Thank you 3D guys!!!!
In the "Windows control panel " is a file where you (and me now) can adjust it, in "EON simulation configuration" the best is to switch it in "render" "edit" to "open GL with high rendering quality!!!
.... and you can see suddenly the maps in the EON Raptor window!!..on my mobile ATI Fire GL 5200 512MB
I thought here are some experts in this Forum??????
