SquareClock team is developping a new ray racing engine to create high quality images based on the 3D real time scene.
Thanks to highly realistic pictures, end users impact is very high for marketing and sales. Ray tracing images can be computed server side using SquareClock grid engine. So, users don’t need any technical skills to get a quick result.
Here is a sample set of pictures we made today directly delivered from SquareClock ray tracing engine.

SquareClock is currently being tested by a limited group of people. However, very soon, we are going to invite people to our BETA release and will need more people like you to join us. We are currently looking for companies and individuals to take part in the beta testing. If you want to discover and influence the upcoming public version, we would like to hear from you. We will receive an access code to get access to the beta. Also, your information will NEVER be given to third parties.

SquareClock Wiimote enabled
Mercredi 05 Mars 2008
Few days ago, a good friend, Régis, sent me a link to Johnny Chung Lee web site. So, at SquareClock, we discovered how the Wiimote normally used for the Nintendo Wii could be used as a bluetooth device for new applications. Since it is very easy to setup we started to build a new user interface for virtual walthrough in SquareClock. Using a simple Wiimote, user can take control over many operations and navigate in the 3D scene using our 3D real time engine. It is only a very limited preview of what we could do using this funny user interface. More will come when our nunchuk will be delivered.
Preview of SquareClock lighting simulation
Mardi 04 Mars 2008
We had interesting feedbacks from users about the importance of the light for their housing projects. That’s why we decided to a precise lighting simulation in SquareClock in our real time visualization engine. Although any SquareClock users will be able to simulate the exact propagation of light in the environment based on the building location, orientation and of course date and time. This demo is a very early stage preview of upcoming dev on this topic.
Early stage dev: intelligent snap
Mardi 04 Mars 2008
Managing objects layout in a 3D scene is usually a very boring and time consuming experience. Most of the time, objects are flying in the scene and moving a furniture doesn’t move the embedded deco objects as it use to be in real life. Using our new semi automatic snap feature, SquareClock’s users will be able to arrange their rooms and object layouts in minutes. Thanks to a very high level of semantic, we know what the logical behavior of each type of object to assist users as much as possible. Basically, we are just coding the real life behaviors…
