To provide design and manufacturing customers with high-end visualization solutions across Sun's range of power-graphics systems at highly affordable price points, Sun and Opticore have made the Opticore Opus Realizer 1.4 available on the SolarisTM Operating Environment (Solaris OE).

With Opticore Opus Realizer software, designers in industries such as automotive manufacturing, wireless telecommunications and aerospace engineering can improve design times, increase collaboration and lower costs. The number of costly physical prototypes that are typically required during a design process can be reduced. The application can also expand the number of design iterations available, providing real-time rendering for design communication, sales and marketing. computer-based training and Web-based design reviews are also available with the powerful combination of Opticore software products and Sun systems.

Opticore Opus Realizer 1.4 will be available on a range of Sun-based platforms, from workstation-based Personal Visualization Systems to Sun's new higher-end, server-based Workgroup Visualization Systems. Both platforms were demonstrated in Sun's booth at the Siggraph 2002 Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

The combination of Opticore's visualization and design/styling applications with the UltraSPARCR architecture and Solaris OE provides a proven and mature 64-bit platform alternative for customers seeking high-quality graphics capabilities at a lower price point.

Sun's delivery of these high-end visualization solutions to the desktop space allows budget-minded customers to install multiple collaborative visualization workgroups, while maintaining the quality and performance of a costly, centralized visualization center.

"Following the industry's quick acceptance of our recently unveiled Personal Visualization Systems based on the Sun BladeTM 2000 workstation, the availability of Opticore's powerful Opticore Opus Realizer software on Sun Blade workstations as well as Sun FireTM servers is an important addition to Sun's expanding presence in the growing markets of graphics and visualization," said Robbie Turner, vice president of Client and Technical Market Products, Sun.
