There’s an interesting infographic exploring the Depths of Cloud Storage put out by 3DVIA. It’s framed from “a 3D Designer’s perspective” or rather, from the argument in favor of cloud storage. It’s a great illustration and nothing that’s directly pushing 3DVIA products or services, but it brought up a question… What in the wide, wide…

The Rally Fighter by Local Motors. Image via SiemensPLM Collaborative innovation is the name of the game and both Seimens PLM and Dassualt are knocking at the door of co-creating possibility. Except it’s less possibility and more actuality. This week both companies have revealed their plans to take collaboration to another a place where you…

Who feels like printing some 3D? Oh yeah! But don’t rub it on yourself. It chafes like you wouldn’t believe and there has yet to be any partnership to produce a 3D anti-chafing cream. (I would pay good money for this.) There has, however, been a(nother) partnership to print 3D direct from a website where…

Guess what kind of wild 3D manipulation news came flying out of Velizy, France today? Wrong, it has nothing to do with crêpes, large mustaches or the combination of the two. It’s all about 3D and iPads and viewing the 3D, on the iPad. The news actually ‘leaked’ out late last week with an early…

I hate Facebook games. Hate. them. Too the point I feel like butchering a hog over someone’s keyboard as they get a Crop Whisperer ribbon on Farmville. Those feelings may change…. I doubt it, but this… is cool. Last week 3DVia made the announcement that the 3D Social gaming blitzkrieg that is Billions is now…

You know we can’t pass up a reference to embedding things into skulls, especially 3D. You could stab your eyes or computer screen with 3D data, but what it really takes to get 3D on the web is getting into that heinous web code. Deelip Menezes-obertron 9 touches on that with a couple posts on…

So, crack your virtual bottles against your virtual skulls. 3DVia is cranking out the goodness this week at the 2010 Games Developer’s Conference. Yes, it’s all fun and games, but just maybe a chance to add a lil’ gleam to snazzy up your product scene. Along with their new Social Game Billions, they’ve just made…

3DVia also has billions of reasons to make you excited about Mogaloos, how many you capture and how you feel about the color pink as the backdrop of the universe. This week at the Game Developers Conference (GDC 2010) in San Francisco, 3DVia is showing off 6 new games developed with 3DVia products. Among those…

Look out Photoshop aficionados, the dev team over at 3DVia has been drinking their milk, running laps around the Dassault campus and has just launched the mother of all 3D plugins to ease your graphical design pains. It’s 3DVia for Photoshop. The plugin that allows you to bring 3D models from 3DVia directly into Photoshop…

Yes, it’s all fun and games until… someone jabs an elfin creature in the eye, gets a gnarly infection and start projectile vomiting all over the place. Fortunately, it’s a virtual elfin creatures we’re talking about. The people behind it… 3DVia. Last week at the Dassault Customer Conference, I found out some top secret (totally-not-top-secret)…

So, I’m minding my own business, trying to increase my high score on Scramble 2 when all of a sudden I feel a tremor in the 3D mobile app force. Nope, it wasn’t the tomatillo enchiladas. There had been, as a matter of fact, a new iPhone app approved. The 3DVia Mobile iPhone app. It’s…

Ya see that shiny new building in the image to the left? That’s the new Dassault Systèmes (DS) campus in Vélizy, France and home to the 2009 Dassault Developers Conference (DEVCON 2009). So far, there’s little information escaping the glass edifice of the DS headquarters, except for the occasional tweet (#DSDEVCON09) and the typical press…

You know what you need sitting on your desk next to your copy of SolidWorks? A small animal deterrent? No, no, and definitely not an automatic, multi-flavor, ice cream maker. You’ll need a mirror. A large mirror to see the snazzy new shirt you’ll be wearing after visiting the new 3DVIA Virtools site. Not sure…

Did you know that 3DVia has a free 3D modeling creator of it’s own? 3DVia Shape 2.0 has been released and just got revamped with some new features that take on the ever-so popular Google SketchUp. The similarities in commands and concept of each are obvious, but what’s even more incredible are the differences. Free…
