Kaydara launch 3D viewing component for QuickTime

Kaydara, a leading developer of 3D animation software, have announced at Macworld Expo 2003 the immediate availability of FBX for QuickTime, a free real-time viewing solution that supports content from any major 3D package.
Based on Kaydara’s FBX format, a royalty-free 3D authoring and interchange format, FBX for QuickTime allows producers and artists to easily visualise and sign off on 3D content using QuickTime. By adding the FBX component to QuickTime, content creators have a completely new way to work with high-end 3D and no longer need to rely on an individual application for their 3D project review or transport.
Michel Besner, president of Kaydara, said: “Until today, there has been no easy way to visualise and interact with 3D content.
“Producers and artists seeking to validate 3D content have been forced to purchase software to view or render their 3D files. Our goal with FBX for QuickTime is to expand our 3D technology to make a real-time 3D pipeline available to all digital artists.”
