Stratigraphic Geology Training Video Series Posted
We have just posted a new series of four training videos on modeling Stratigraphic Geology. The first three cover rather basic topics related to the creation of stratigraphic geologic models, but the fourth and final video in the series tackles the more complex horizon_ranking module and how to use it to control hierarchy when you have intersecting stratigraphic horizons. All four videos are available on the public Training Videos page.

Earth Volumetric Studio 2016.8 is now available to download. I hope that you will forgive my being a bit long winded in this announcement, as I feel this is truly a momentous occasion for C Tech and our customers. C Tech has been in business now for 27 years and I have personally been involved with 3D modeling and visualization for 39 years. I saw the need for Environmental Visualization System (the original EVS) in 1989 and we had our first commercial Unix-based software available in 1990. However, in 1994 when Windows NT was released we...
read moreUpdate on Animating Web-Based Models
I wanted to post a quick correction to my announcement on 3D Publishing to the web. I started writing that post weeks before it was released because we were working on the examples for our website. During that time, Sketchfab shared with us a solution for animating web-based models. Unlike our 4DIM and PDF animations which are frame-based, the Sketchfab animations must have a time duration assigned to each VRML frame. The first example showing the railyard has 8 frames which flip on 5 second intervals. We’ve been told that...

I have to admit that we’re always keeping secrets. We’re always working on new things, and we try not to be the company that spends more time telling you what we’re going to do someday, rather than showing you what we can do today. Most of our customers know that we offer a $500 tool to convert our VRML files to 3D PDFs that will play in the free Adobe Reader which is installed on 90% of the world’s computers. About 50% of our customers have embraced that technology which allows them to incorporate interactive 3D...
