Perhaps one of the best ways to get to know a company is to talk with the people behind it. Welcome to 3D Perspectives, the official corporate blog of Dassault Systèmes. Read more
Quite of few of us at 3DVIA have been in San Francisco for the last few days, at a pretty impressive event called the Game Developer Conference.
This annual event gathers professional from the gaming industry, and includes conferences, networking sessions as well as several exhibitor areas. As a reference, the event attracted 18,000 people last year.
This year again, 3DVIA is exhibiting there, showing off new products and giving the opportunity to selected customers and partners to present their games through mainstage presentations.
Today, we were able to setup a live video stream from the 3DVIA booth, and it will be again live tomorrow from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm PST. Please fill free to check it out!

It’s time to add a third dimension to 3D Perspectives. Instead of reading this blog article, I thought you’d enjoy watching it in 3D on TVnima. See how many famous people you can find in the 3D show:
My take is that online 3D machinima applications, like TVnima, give you more professional-quality communications Powah. And in some ways you get more than real-life professional options, if you look at cameras for example. In TVnima there are 24 (yes, 24). How many in real life?
In the last few posts, I’ve been exploring the parallel between gaming technologies and PLM, including a few examples, especially from the automotive industry.
However, I thought it would make sense to show an interesting bridge between PLM and gaming technologies, through a more concrete example: Peugeot Citroën has been using 3DVIA Virtools for many years, as well as other traditional Dassault Systemes PLM software.
On the following PSA Peugeot Citroën link, you can see a video showing some of their usage of real time 3D, for design reviews and product experiences.
Quite a few other leading automotive OEMs use Virtools for the same purpose, including a European company; the one I’m thinking of isn’t willing to share all what they’re doing with the market though, as they consider it gives them a technological advantage over the competition.
Thanks for your attention! Next post will be made live from the Game Developer Conference in San Francisco (March 23-27, 2009), where 3DVIA will have a major presence and make some announcements.
