GHOST 3D Releases Scribe-iT DCC for Autodesk Maya 2009

October 31, 2008 (San Francisco, CA) -- GHOST 3D, LLC has released Scribe-iT DCC for Autodesk Maya 2009. Scribe-iT DCC is powerful 3D digitizing, reverse modeling, CMM/Laser scan editing, manipulation, and reverse engineering software that integrates 3D CMMs such as FaroArm and MicroScribe with top 3D applications. The Scribe-iT family of products comprises the original, top-selling device integration and modeling solutions for portable CMM-type digitizers and mainstream 3D software applications for design, modeling, inspection, animation, visualization and reverse engineering. The solutions provide proven and unmatched value in the rapid production and analysis of high quality 3D CAD datasets and Polygon/Sub-D models from physical sources, including precise capture and editing of NURBS, Spline, Polygon, data points, and other geometries; accurate measuring of datums; and precise manipulation, animation, visualization, and editing of 3-Dimensional objects. Scribe-iT DCC now supports Maya 2009 Unlimited and Complete versions, Maya 2008, previous Maya versions, and other 3D software applications.

Scribe-iT DCC and CAD solutions are responsible for some of the world’s highest quality 3D digital content that accurately replicates physical objects. Among its array of special solutions, Scribe-iT includes an ideal and complete proprietary Polygon/Sub-D digitizing and modeling system, specifically designed for portable CMM input, which can be adapted to the kind of part details and the preferred reconstruction method.

Scribe-iT DCC 3D model VW-T


Scribe-iT solutions continue to lead as the CMM 3D digitizing tool of choice for demanding professionals in design, marketing, research, education, entertainment, and manufacturing.  For an example of some outstanding full scale automobiles recreated as 3D geometry using Scribe-iT DCC, Maya, and a supported CMM (available from GHOST 3D), check out the latest 3D models of Volkswagen’s VW cars at http://www.vw.com. You can see a 360 view of the “Touareg” here: http://www.vw.com/touareg/360view/en/us/ ; additionally, you can view other 3D replicas of VW cars by clicking the “Cars” button in the upper left of the site pages. Scribe-iT is used to capture data and recreate automobiles made by the finest manufacturer's including Chrysler, Dodge, Audi and others.

Scribe-iT DCC for Maya is a diverse and dynamic solution providing referencing and alignment tools, geometry and measurement capture, editing and manipulation tools, and GHOST 3D's powerfully quick and flexible Polygon modeling system. A robust variety of automatic geometry generation options can be selected on the fly for the desired construction, and further enable ideal Sub-Division surface modifications to specific areas of the model. The CAD model digitizing workflow is more precise, controllable, and more efficient than dense 3D point cloud scanning solutions, because Scribe-iT’s Polygon tools include features and advantages otherwise absent from other solutions.

The Scribe-iT software packages do not simply leverage existing technology of the host application or the digitizer, but instead they seamlessly add to the host an integrated, complete proprietary 3D digitizing and modeling system, independent of the many host features Scribe-iT also supports. Scribe-iT's construction systems avoid the need for re-construction or reverse modeling, and therefore reduce production time for ideal CAD and animated 3D models. Scribe-iT solutions include unique 3D digitizing functions and one of the fastest available methods for optimized production of high quality 3D CAD and Polygon models from the physical source, without requiring any post-procedure to reconstruct a scanned dataset. 3D content developers, manufacturers, artists, archivists, and industrial designers looking for a way to enhance their 3D production efficiency can benefit significantly from Scribe-iT's diverse solutions.

To learn more about Scribe-iT products, G3D Systems or integrated 3D devices (such as FaroArm and MicroScribe 3D digitizers) interested parties can contact GHOST 3D, LLC or a G3D Systems Representative at http://www.ghost3d.com/gt_g3dsystems_req.htm.


Additional Product Information: Scribe-iT solutions include 3D digitizing, manipulation, inspection, reverse engineering and 3D modeling tools that enable anyone to create high quality, accurate 3D models, geometry, measurements, animation, and other data from physical objects. It is clear today that GHOST 3D's unique and highly acclaimed digitizing tools revolutionized the way people use CMMs (Coordinate Measurement Machines) and contact 3D-digitizer devices. The company provided the premiere animation and manipulation solutions for 3D digitizing devices on the Windows platform. Evolved from the very first digitizing solution for 3ds max and Autodesk VIZ, Scribe-iT and Power Digitizer Pack are complete solutions for designers, creative professionals and engineers to design, create, animate and interact with physical objects in 3D scenes. The products provide the power and versatility of multiple creation modes, hybrid modeling, conversion and editing techniques, the ability to incorporate any modifier into the digitizing process. Scribe-iT and Power Digitizer Pack support CMMs, 3D scanners and digitizers through integrated GHOST 3D Systems, including FaroArm, MicroScribe devices and others.
