ArcoNOVUM DARCStudio v1.0a is expected to rollout soon!

Arconovum DARCStudio DARC(Digital Architecture Re-Creation) Studio modeling software, Is a streamlined architecture and environment oriented high-volume, low-poly modeling tool, Promoting efficiency to achieve realistic modeling objectives rapidly.

DARCStudio can achieve both the highest quality renderings available today, and produce portable high-end real-time animated and interactive architectural content.

The learning curve in DARCStudio is probably the shortest of all the modeling software available today. So you can get on with modeling and rendering from day one.

Wether you are a non-realtime modeler, games modeler or developer, the content can easily be integrated into your modeling pipeline, or rendering projects.

Furthermore, to simplify integrating DARCStudio into your projects, DARCStudio can be fully re-designed through scripting and dynamic link libraries to access all aspects of DARCStudio, This will make it possible to alter or create UI components,unique drawing data, or simply export new data formats compatible with your projects.

Modeling and Rendering Services!

ArcoNOVUM provides architects and builders, modeling and rendering services using its own modeling software.

At ArcoNOVUM we provide both forms of rendering available today, New Real-Time visualization and navigation, and traditional still image and animation loops.

Take a look at the images below demonstrating the differences between both rendering styles.

Real-Time Modeling and Rendering Services!

For those who are not familiar with the term real-time: Real-time means rendering as you move the camera (viewers eyes). By means of a free-flow navigateable software environment.

How does real-time rendering help you?. If you need to see something like a building or structure, in as many vues as possible, or to experience the sensation a person will feel from walking around and throughout a structure, or your project requires the flare of the latest technology. You should definetly go towards Real-Time visualization.

Traditional Modeling and Rendering Services!

For years now, Architects, builders, and any who have come to rely on the traditional way of presenting 3D content are not overlooked at ArcoNOVUM. If your project requires rendering at its most realistic extent. We can provide this service. Our software uses the latest in image rendering technology.

OpenUMI GUI Software Developer Toolkit!

OpenUMI for (Open User Machine Interface) Is a full featured texture based GUI development toolkit for software developers.

OpenUMI was conceived to simplify the task of implementing and building sophisticated graphic based software interfaces.

The UI is completely tiled texture and vector based, allowing it to be completely re-skinned for unique UI designs.

Internally , The software architecture is very simple, all components employ the same methodology of creation, initialization, and communication, making OpenUMI very easy to learn and use.

OpenUMI is completely scriptable with the UMI script language, or can be implemented using the SDK.

OpenUMI Components:

Lines, circles, round rectangles, text, bitmap and icon backgrounds, are supported throughout all controls.
Push Buttons
Radio Buttons
Checkboxes
Spinners
Sliders
