***Multigen-Paradigm Announces Availability of Vega 3.6 and
Multigen Creator 2.4.1
(January 9)

MultiGen-Paradigm, a developer of real-time 3D solutions,
announced the availability of MultiGen Creator 2.4.1, a software
toolset for creating real-time 3D content for use in visual
simulation, interactive games, urban simulation, and other
visualization applications, and Vega 3.6 on Microsoft Windows NT
and SGI IRIX, MultiGen-Paradigm's software environment for
running real-time visual and audio simulation, virtual reality,
and general visualization applications.

The features and enhancements made to MultiGen Creator 2.4.1 and
Vega 3.6 are the result of customer feedback collected by the
company. MultiGen Creator 2.4.1 contains all improvements made in
previous patch releases since version 2.4 was released in
September, as well as product improvements and fixes. Also
available as an option to MultiGen Creator 2.4.1 for Windows is
the MultiGen SEDRIS Exporter that takes OpenFlight files
generated from MultiGen Creator and converts them via a user-
directed procedural interface to the SEDRIS Transmittal File
(.stf) format. As the need for high-resolution, ground-based
simulation grows, proper interoperability between SEDRIS and
OpenFlight is becoming more important.

The release of Vega 3.6 provides greater realism as a result of
increased functionality, improved special effects and light
source compatibility, and enhanced sensor simulation capabilities
on both the NT and IRIX platforms. Vega 3.6 includes support for
a number of partners including Evans & Sutherland's SimFusion
sensor API, DI-GUY version 4.2 from Boston Dynamics, as well as
frame-based texture sub-loading on Windows NT.
