Shade's intuitive, easy-to-use interface and 900+ included 3D models such as furniture, building and transportation items speed up the design and modeling process to improve workflow. Modeling is aided by comprehensive mesh editing tools.

Shade 8 Standard imports and exports popular CAD formats, and incorporates raytracing and radiosity to produce superior renderings of imported projects. Rendering times can be dramatically reduced via distributed rendering over two machines at once.

Product Design and Visualization. Development of award-wining product design is made easy using Shade. Boolean or Bezier modeling and mesh editing creates the exact shapes, with animation to preview functioning products "in motion"!

Character Modeling and Rendering With Poser. Link directly to Poser to easily import/export figures and poses. Poser 7 or earlier users can use Shade to modify models, create props or render images up to 4000x4000 pixels in size.

Architectural and Interior Design. Architects and interior designers can build and render projects with stunning speed and realism. Additional content is also available from the huge library of architectural objects online and from popular CAD programs.

Silverlight as a platform for SaaS (Software as a Service) .

Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device technology for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. It promises to be the most suitable platform for RIA (Rich Internet Application) and SaaS (Software as a Service) applications, as solutions designed for Silverlight are easy and fast to distribute and manage.

Reports are an essential part of Business Intelligence.

• Just imagine how many benefits corporate Business Intelligence will get from Silverlight. Increased speed of delivering updates, high interactivity and rich visualization features will dramatically optimize work of corporate analysts. Very often reports are distributed via the Web, and usually Web interfaces provide limited abilities to work with reports. You can just view, print, export and zoom reports. And often you need to use your browser abilities to search for necessary data and navigate the report. But browsers are not designed to work with reports.
  

• Silverlight report viewer combines all benefits of desktop and Internet applications:

• Fast report uploading: every single page is loaded separately; you can view only those report pages you really need without loading the whole report;

• Report preview: single page, continuous;

• Export to PDF, HTML, Excel, and RTF;

• Zoom of any type: percent, regional, dynamic;

• Fast search;

• Easy navigation;

• Report panning;

• No need to install application and deliver updates to every computer in the company, just update it on server and all employees have a new version delivered;

• Correct display of designed reports: unlike reports exported to HTML, Silverlight reports guarantee 100% match of all displayed report elements with Win Forms preview.

• High-quality reports representation: you can zoom in any report area without loss of quality;

• Delicate setup of viewer design: all report viewer elements are set up by styles and templates. You can use custom skins. Such component will seamlessly fit into design of any application.

• Universal solution for all operating systems, web browsers and devices: no need to setup and adjust your Business Intelligence system on each seat.

Report Sharp-Shooter™ is designed to create feature-rich and flexible BI applications which can solve even the most complicated reporting and analytical tasks.

Report Sharp-Shooter™ features the ability to build reports in the designer or using the Wizard, and export the generated reports to the most formats including PDF, HTML, EMF, BMP, JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, Excel, Excel (XML), CSV, TXT, and RTF.

Besides this, Report Sharp-Shooter™ includes the following abilities:

Report Design

• creation of reports of any complexity (cross tab, parameterized, sub-reports, SideBySide reports and so on);
• modification of the final report using the end user designer;
• organization of a consistent layout of the reports generated by means of Report Sharp-Shooter™ into reusable templates.

• use of any .Net data sources supported by your application;
• creation of bound and unbound reports.
  

• creation of pivot tables on the basis of any data sources which are available in the report;
• design of charts for visual data representation;
• support for bar codes, pictures, shapes.
  

• WinForms Viewer;
• ASP.NET WebForms Viewer.
  

The professional version of the product comes with full source code. The runtime of Report Sharp-Shooter™ is royalty-free.

VizUp Ultimate is designed for commercial use in companies, and professional design studios. The product allows you to achieve the finest quality in optimization and polygon reduction, which can be compared to manual work of a designer, or an engineer. This edition is optimized for work with very large 3D models that have been converted from CAD/CAM/CAE. You will discover a unique option - "Quality reduction", which allows you to use all the capacity of our technology to achieve the best results. You get a low-poly model that retains the visual fidelity of a high-poly model.

Another unique to VizUp Ultimate feature is Batch mode reduction, which let you perform model optimization according to some set parameters for all files in specified folders. This feature is very helpful when you work with large numbers of models. VizUp Ultimate saves time of a highly-paid specialist, who creates industrial or architectural real-time presentations, or builds 3D models for industrial systems of virtual reality.

VizUp has a refreshingly uncomplicated user interface, which consists of the 3D viewer in the center and a toolbar with all commands and options ready at hand. Once you loaded a model, you can compress it with a single click on the Reduce button on the toolbar. VizUp performs the compression automatically. The best thing in it is that a model is compressed for all possible ratios at once. This means you can see the effect of any compression level instantly without having to restart polygon reduction each time for 10%, 20%, 30%, and other ratios.

Another good thing about VizUp is its unique ability to retain the original look of a model. VizUp doesn't change the coordinates of the vertices and it results in minimal distortions during texture mapping even at high compression ratios. You can examine the result of reduction in 3D from different perspectives and in different visualization modes. This includes displaying a model as a set of textures, a set of smooth surfaces colored according to the material properties, as an object consisting of flat polygons, as a wireframe, or as a set of vertices.
