Coryphaeus Software Inc, Los Gatos, CA, produces the only integrated suite of
VisSim Tools in the industry. Our main products are...

    o Designer's Workbench (DWB)
      This is a 3D vis-sim modeler & real-time animation package. As a taster
      it it a mixed-model Motif/Glx app with virtual sphere manipulation of the
      model and includes materials, texture mapping, hierarchical structure
      display with "drag & drop" editing, Node attribute pages,
      LODS, light points, animation sequences & a *PUBLIC DOMAIN* database
      format that matches Performer's in-memory structures very well.
      DWB also has an option for attributing behaviour to any Node in the
               database. These links will transfer across to any Performer app
      seamlessly. A DWB performer loader is available in source along with a
      Performer Writer (write out any Performer tree as a DWB file). It is
      modern object-oriented software, fully featured & inexpensive.

    o Easy Terrain (EZT)
      Stand alone terrain modeling package. Convert DMA DTED & DFAD, USGS DLG &
      DEMs. Build terrain databases from scratch using fractal, regular grids -
      modify with adaptive delanauy etc.etc.

    o EasyScene
      Performer based IG rendering software. Load DWB (or any format files
      supported by Performer). Set eye points, weather, full object scripting
      capabilities, comms interfaces, all done without any programming - edit
      a simple text file to set up & run your simulation. Used as the IG engine
      for a just-delivered 4 channel driving simulator to the Transport
Accident
      Commission of Victoria, Australia.

I am Product manager for DWB & EZT. For technical info call/email me. For
pricing sales info call Bill Oliver, Director of sales & marketing. numbers..
