3DEXCITE DELTAGEN SUITE GOING LIVE!

3DEXCITE DELTAGEN SUITE 2018 provides a set of tools for Marketing and Sales-oriented businesses, with the aim to boost a full product visualization pipeline, based on Marketing Master Model architecture.

The key streams behind the philosophy of the 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN SUITE are:

1. Funnel any CAD / PLM data: “Convert & Prepare”

2. Build once: “Connect & Enrich”

3. Reuse everywhere: “Stage & Produce”

3DEXCITE DELTAGEN

SUITE 2018 MOTIVATION

3DEXCITE DELTAGEN SUITE 2018RELEASE NOTES

This first release will bring the following components to life:

• 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN ROBOT: Convert & Prepare the CAD/PLM data through automation-based processes.

Focus:

- Convert most CAD / PLM formats

- Prepare data

- Automated batch processes

- Real-Time-based review with DELTAVIEW

• 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB: Connect & Enrich the Marketing Master Model through optimization (any kind of input data), material assignments and innovative gateways.

Focus:

- 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN ROBOT is incorporated

- Advanced Data Preparation

- Semi-automated enrichment and connection of Engineering, Color & Trim and Marketing information to build the digital representation of the real product

- Perform product correctness review in Real-Time, with tablet presentation / navigation support

- Optimize model complexity and topology with respect to Experience deployment requirements (hardware, infrastructure)

- Transition configured and optimized data via 3DEXCITE gateways to CGI / VFX / VR Engines, as well as for collaboration based on 3DEXCITE PICTUREBOOK

The product visualization pipeline will then take on full scope with the following component (available soon):

• 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN STAGE: Stage & Produce the Marketing Master Model for image, layer, movie and lightweight VR content creation.

3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB 2018

Components and Features

3DEXCITE DELTAGEN ROBOT3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB includes the components and functionalities of 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN ROBOT as outlined in the chapter above.

3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB• Reuse pre-computed data by 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN ROBOT• File linking and granularity modification of linked files to represent

correct variant behavior, model structure shaping according to animation requirements

• Tessellation and topology quality optimization according to visualization requirements

• UV mapping tweaking and unfolding for correct texture placement• Advanced selection methods allowing optimization of automated

hidden surface removal (via 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN ROBOT)• Model enrichment with materials, textures and logos for a detailed

product representation• Creation of Geometry-, Material- and Marketing Feature based variants

(via Product Variant Creator)• Compute offline shadows and bake into 3D Marketing Master Model• Review 3D Marketing Master Model for product correctness in Real-

Time with Tablet presentation support (incl. 3D annotations)

DELTAGEN PRODUCT VARIANT CREATOR (PVC)• Assignment of material, visibility and geometry variants• Variants creation supported by intuitive UI for a non-error prone process• Product Variant Creator (through its xml file) controls the variants

switching in 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB• Data mining functionalities for searching, replacing and recognizing if

elements are related or connected to each other.

DELTAGEN MODEL OPTIMIZER• Enabling optimization of most complex data, to gather benefit from

massive performance improvements• Resulting highly optimized dataset can be used for further authoring in

3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB

DELTAGEN DirectMaya• Export of 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB (CSB file format) data set to

Autodesk® Maya: - Structure inclusive transformations (hierarchy) - Switches, LODS - Polygons or NURBS - Metainfo - Simple materials inclusive textures - UVs - Camera

• The tools included in this converter simplify the data preparation process in Maya®.

3DEXCITE PICTUREBOOK Connector• Connecting the 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB to the product 3DEXCITE

PICTUREBOOK. • Transit into a full managed pipeline:

- Organized storage - Conventions for data storing - Versioning - Automation based on scripts - Managed cross product line data and content re-usage

• Enabling 3DEXCITE DELTAGEN HUB users to access, share and co-work on the data globally (through PICTUREBOOK Replication) with a seamless interface

3DEXCITE XPLORE DELTAGEN• Navigation and presentation tool for scene interaction with desktop

or tablet• Switching of variants, models, cameras, packages, collections• Start / control animations

VERSION CHANGE AND COMPATIBILITYWhen loading scenes from previous versions, DELTAGEN checks for ID consistency in the scene and informs about possible inconsistencies.

If duplicate IDs are identified, the user log contains a list of entities to which a new ID has been assigned. Those elements may have malfunctioned in animations, variants or networks in the old version and may need to be reassigned to their targets.
