Testimonials

SimbirSoft Ltd. is the most client-centered company I have ever worked with. Everything is always clear, neat, efficient and warm, without the complicated programming dialect.
Starting working with Getting to know SimbirSoft Ltd. in 2001 I still appreciate our cooperation. They successfully completed tasks with various degrees of complexity: from building in 2001 -2002 a site for Yacht Racing “Volga Cup” with a Yacht coordinated on-line tracking system (for the first time in Russia) to developing and implementing of a complex interactive television operational system TV-Charm in 2005-2008 (for the first time in Russia as well!). Meanwhile there have been accomplished plenty of various little tasks. The whole list of the solutions worked out by SimbirSoft Ltd. for us would be too long to post.
I do recommend. It’s worthy.

Tirade

“Tirade” is a system for simulating, projecting and decorating the exterior and interior of a construction project. It provides a high quality presentation of 3D models and enables a customer to have a virtual tour of the future construction projects and work out their design. In addition, this application can be used for projecting landscape design. The primary feature set of this system is the lighting simulation, as the primary users of the application were to be lighting engineers.

Customer:
 3NF Corporation

Industry sector:
Computer graphics, 3D modeling, interior design, lighting simulation

PROBLEM:

The task was to create a system for simulating, projecting and decorating the exterior and interior of any construction project.

SOLUTION:

SimbirSoft Ltd. was set a task to develop the system. It was written with C++ using a variety of additional tools including graphical library OpenGL and framework Open Scene Graph.

General component description:
Tirade is a system for simulating, projecting and decorating the exterior and interior of any construction project. The main purpose is to visualize real-time 3D models of houses, to calculate high quality lighting, to design the interior including both the wall material change and random placement of the interior objects uploaded from the standard library or from the hard disk drive. There are plug-ins allowing uploading the objects of several popular formats. Tirade has the following functionality:

  • free space camera (person) movement;
  • various tour modes (a flying camera, a walking man);
  • ability to set geographical coordinates and time;
  • calculation of the high quality lighting for both the construction projects and the environment taking into account the time of the day;
  • animation of objects such as door and window opening, light source turning on and off;
  • light source shifting;
  • photorealistic rendering of models;
  • various 3D model format support (3DS, XVL);
  • many other features.

Platform:
Windows

Main technologies and libraries used:
Visual C++ 6.0, MFC, Standard Template Library (STL), OpenGL,Open Scene Graph (OSG), Open Threads,Open Producer, Open Dynamic Engine (ODE), FreeImage, Log4Cplus, PIXIE, YAFRAY, Xerces, OpenAL, Win API.
