About Terratracer Inc
San Diego,CA--
Hollywood film studios could soon be using Earth Resource Mapping's open standard Enhanced Compression Wavelet (ECW) technology as commonly as geospacial professionals.In a world first for the animation industry, Terratracer's Terrashader(R) terrain rendering plug-in uses ECW files, rather than jpeg files, as an image source.
The use of the ECW format allows very large maps or textures (gigabytes or terabytes of data) to be imported into animation software.High-end ray shading animation applications often run on render-farms with hundreds or thousands of CPUs to produce realistic looking video and cinema quality film.Terrashader and ECW have been used on a render farm with over a thousand CPU's.
Traditional methods required animators to be reliant on Jpeg tiling and enormous hierarchical databases of textures if they wanted to load and render large texture files.Now,tn requin noir (http://www.niketnrequinpascher.org/), using the advanced ECW format animation artists can simply use one wavelet file containing hundreds of gigabytes of data.
"The use of ECW technology negates the need of using many small images.One ECW file is all you need, and it's allowing us to do things that haven't even been considered before," said Jorg Mohnen, Managing Director of TerraTracer.
Mr Mohnen added "When we receive a satellite or mosaiced aerial image it takes approximately 1 -2 days to get to the 3D animation stage, while others are still creating the render-database for weeks.The use of Terrashader reduces production times considerably."
Terrashader and ECW will allow multimedia,nike yeezy prix (http://www.pascherairmax.net/), television and film industries to efficiently handle large amounts of Geodata.
Stuart Nixon,nike air force max (http://www.pascherairmax.net/), CEO of Earth Resource Mapping commented,nike air max (http://www.pascherairmax.net/), "We couldn't be more happy about Terratracer's application of the ECW format.It just shows the versatility and robustness of the format as well as the benefit of having an open standard that everyone can use in their applications".
Terrashader is currently available for Lightwave 3D.Versions for Maya(R), Softimage(R), StudioMAX(R),nike elite si (http://www.pascherairmax.net/), Reyes Renderman(R) will be released shortly.Reyes Renderman is used by Oscar(R) winning studios Industrial Light and Magic(R), Disney(R) and Pixar(R).
