Native Pro/ENGINEER® import into Bunkspeed HyperShot will Render Attendees Speechless at PTC/USER World Event 2008”
LONG BEACH, CA, June 2, 2008 – Bunkspeed®, a leading global provider of 3D rendering visualization software for design, engineering, and marketing, announced today at the PTC/USER World Event 2008 that it has joined PTC’s Partner Advantage program at the Silver Tier. The company is demonstrating its easy-to-use photographic rendering products which now support native Pro/ENGINEER file import at the PTC/USER World Event.
HyperShot®, Bunkspeed’s revolutionary patent-pending software for photographic 3D rendering, creates astonishingly realistic photographic imagery in a very easy-to-use application. HyperShot now supports models natively from Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire® 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0. For $995, users get all the features available in HyperShot HD, and up to 4.1 megapixel images (about 2274 x 1704 resolution) resolution images – for use in professional-quality packaging, marketing, and advertising images.
In just minutes, and with no previous experience required, users can apply accurate materials and paints, and real world lighting to their Pro/ENGINEER models. Instant aesthetic decisions can be made on the fly, while sleek marketing imagery is generated out of existing CAD data.
Bunkspeed was accepted into the PTC Partner Advantage Program, which provides access to a comprehensive suite of services and capabilities, following a complete review of Hypershot’s capabilities.
Philip Lunn, Bunkspeed CEO stated, “HyperShot shows Bunkspeed’s commitment to both dramatically simplify the rendering process and support our growing customer base with specific solutions for their 3D CAD systems of choice. This is another step towards further bringing together design, engineering, and marketing for Pro/ENGINEER users.”
John Jacobsen, senior design engineer, Smart Design, said, “Pro/ENGINEER and HyperShot are a winning combination. We push the envelope here at SMART DESIGN by building our Pro/ENGINEER models to near Class-A surface perfection; matching the designer’s intent and vision for a product. With HyperShot I can communicate directly to designers and clients our Pro/ENGINEER perfection in photographic realism—in a matter of minutes—ever increasing the value of Pro/ENGINEER as a premier design tool.”
HyperShot Pro, a more advanced version of HyperShot, delivers unlimited resolution images at a cost of $3,495 plus maintenance.
The spectacular effects of HyperShot will be on display at the annual PTC/User event at the Long Beach Convention Center, booth #618, on June 1-4 2008.
