| Mascot Capsule Engine Micro3D Edition |
Mascot Capsule Engine is 3D rendering engine software capable of driving real-time display and motion of 3D mascot figures on the PC desktop, Web pages, embedded devices, mobile gaming devices, mobile phones, etc. The engine has already been adopted by manufacturers supplying terminals to J-Phone, to NTT DoCoMo, including the 504i series of devices released in May 2002, and for au handset models C3003P and A5302CA. Mascot Capsule represents the de facto standard for 3D rendering in the mobile telecommunications market.
Mascot Capsule Engine Micro 3D Edition runs in operating environments with constrained resources, for any CPU capable of 32-bit integer operations with a clock speed of 10MHz or higher (floating point and division operations are not required). This engine is compatible with commercially available 3D graphics formats including 3D Studio MAX and LightWave, and has an unlimited display capacity (proportional to allocated memory size). Its rich 3D expressions and small footprint assure performance for superior user interfaces in a myriad of devices. |
