MultiGen-Paradigm's Vega Prime software toolkit is now combined with SolarisTM Operating Environment (Solaris OE) (SPARCTM Platform Edition) for realtime 3D application development. The Vega Prime software toolkit from MultiGen-Paradigm is a cross-platform, extendable and scalable development environment that includes MultiGen-Paradigm's advanced low-level scene graph (VSG), as well as a high-level abstraction API, delivering a wide range of customizable optimization and multi-level functionality. It gives military, government and commercial simulation customers a cost-effective alternative to deploy high-performance, realtime 3D visual simulation applications, backed by one of the world's leading vendors for integrated software and hardware solutions. The announcement was made at the I/ITSEC conference, which promotes innovation and cooperation among the armed services, industry leaders and government agencies. The news is expected to contribute to the growth of the visualization and simulation markets overall by giving customers the ability to develop and deploy comprehensive realtime 3D applications on an affordable and scalable platform. Vega Prime will be available January 2002.
