Deep Creator™ is a powerful authoring application to create interactive 3D environments, simulation and visualization applications for training, support sales and marketing communications.
Deep Creator has an integrated unified development environment which includes:
- 3D modeler and 3D Scene composition tools,
- event animation and key frame animation authoring tools,
- user interface widgets
- a powerful scripting engine
- real time physics engine
- texture creator and UV tools
- pixel and vertex shader authoring
Deep Creator’s unified workflow and what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) authoring environment enables media developers to focus on content creation and application development rather than using multiple software packages to create their interactive 3D application.
Integrated workflow with Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration and Deep Server products based on the RH file format enables Deep Creator to be used with repurposed CAD data (via DE/DS) and DCC data from applications like Max and Maya.
Deep Creator’s in build modeling capabilities facilitate creation of new models and content where other data does not exist or is not available.
Deep Creator 2.3 (to be released on 20th December 2006) provides support for publishing output to web viewer, executable, single screen passive stereo, larger area mono- power-wall presentations. Deep Creator is priced at $1995 and available from www.righthemisphere.com

That’s all there is to it.

Once the animation has been selected and the animation properties set to what you want, simply press play on the main toolbar – and you can interact with your object.

Light maps and textures
Light maps and textures are used to bake in lighting to a scene and great for including shadows for non moving objects. Light maps help deliver realism in large environments. Light maps can be generated in Deep Creator or imported from Deep Exploration or 3rd party tool such as Max or Maya.
The following images show the impact of using light maps and textures together in increasing visual realism for visual simulations and presentations. The light map and scene was imported from Autodesk 3DS Max.

Lights
The Deep Creator light model generalizes light into two types: ambient light, and direct light. Each has different attributes, and each interacts with the material of a surface in different ways.
Ambient light is light that has been scattered so much that its direction and source are indeterminate. The indirect lighting, used by photographers, is a good example of ambient light. In Deep Creator ambient light is a property of the scene and is set in the scene settings dialogue.
Direct light is the light generated by a source within a scene such as a light object; it always has color and intensity, and it travels in a specified direction. Direct light interacts with the material of a surface to create specular highlights, and its direction is used as a factor in shading algorithms, including Gouraud shading and when computing Deep Creator generated light maps.
Deep Creator supports three standard direct light types, point, directional and spot lights:
Point lights: A light bulb is a good example of a point light. In Deep Creator Point lights are affected by attenuation and range, and illuminate a mesh on a vertex-by-vertex basis.
Directional lights: In Deep Creator directional lights have only color and direction, not position. In some ways its best to imagine a Deep Creator directional light as a light source at a near infinite distance, such as the sun
Spot lights: Spotlights have color, position, and direction in which they emit light. Light emitted from a spotlight is made up of a bright inner cone and a larger outer cone, with the light intensity diminishing between the two. In Deep Creator spot lights are affected by falloff, attenuation, and range.
The properties of Deep Creator Real time lights can also be used by pixel and vertex shaders in Deep Creator authored applications

Real time shadows
Real time shadows differ to light maps in that they are dynamic and calculated as the Deep Creator scene is interacted with.
Deep Creator supports 4 types of real time shadow as illustrated.
Why support four types of shadow? Well when building real time applications each shadow type has its own benefits and differing computation costs, so we support 4 types to enable artists and media developers choose which is most appropriate for their application development.
In Deep Creator shadows are an alteration that can be assigned to most geometric objects.  In Deep Creator – alterations modify or alter an object (hence the name) and are easily applied to objects, just like interactive animations, with a few mouse clicks.
After a shadow alteration is assigned to an object, a specific light in the scene must be assigned to that shadow. Each type of shadow can be assigned a color and opacity. If you want a shadow to cast from multiple sources of light, then multiple shadow alterations must be added to the same object.  Lights assigned to shadows can be animated.
Only objects with shadow alterations will cast dynamic shadows in a scene that react to moving lights.
