Informative Graphics Announces Support For OpenHSF Format; ModelPress v4.1 Includes Reading of Emerging Open Visualization Standard.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2004 Informative Graphics Corp. (IGC (Integrated Graphics Controller) The inclusion of the video display circuitry on the motherboard. An IGC is typically contained in the chipset, such as the Northbridge. See integrated graphics and IGP. IGC - Institute for Global Communications ), a leader in content visualization, publishing and collaboration technology, announced that the new version (v4.1) of its free ModelPress(TM) 3D model compression, publishing and viewing system includes support for the OpenHSF file format. Through OpenHSF, ModelPress supports lightweight visualization files generated from OpenHSF enabled applications such as CATIA A family of 2D and 3D CAD programs from IBM. CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. v5, SolidWorks and IronCAD. About ModelPress The free, award-winning ModelPress 3D model publish-to-view system uses a powerful, proprietary compression algorithm to optimize large 3D data sets for network distribution. ModelPress Publisher converts a wide range of 3D formats into the new 3DF (three-dimensional format) format for display using the free ModelPress Reader. The 3DF format is designed to identify IGC as the provider of secure, PDF-like publishing of 3D models to the Web, e-mail, and other forms of electronic file sharing Copying files from one computer to another. See peer-to-peer network, file sharing protocol and file and printer sharing. . 3DF publishing incorporates IGC's Visual Rights(TM) persistent security technology, allowing content authors to apply a full complement of security controls to their model files, including password protection, hard or relative viewing expiration dates, allow/disallow printing and copying, and the ability to hide the interior details of a model completely. Gary Heath, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and President at IGC commented, "The OpenHSF standard is a widely accepted and well-proven technology for delivering high-fidelity model data from the best CAD applications, and we are making it a part of our 3D strategy going forward.
