Company Overview

ART VPS Ltd. is a world leader in advanced rendering technology and visualization expertise headquartered in Cambridge UK. The company developed the first, and only, 3D graphics processors that can create images of true realism. The quality and speed of conventional software 3D rendering is the biggest bottleneck for the productivity and value of computer generated imaging. Conventional 3D graphics chips do not deliver image quality good enough for final image production. Only a silicon solution based on ray tracing, such as ART VPS's, has the potential to deliver the required image quality and performance.

PURE and RenderDrive, ART�s family of 3D rendering products, harness the power of the company�s ray tracing 3D graphics processors to deliver many times the computing power of general-purpose processing platforms.

PURE is a revolutionary PCI 3D rendering board for graphics workstations. RenderDrive is a networked 3D rendering appliance providing enterprise-wide high quality rendering. Both product lines can be used directly with 3D applications such as 3ds Max, 3D Studio VIZ, Maya and Catia. Also solutions are available for users of SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Pro/E and any RenderMan compatible application.

ART has made it much easier for anyone to create imagery of the highest possible quality, on budget and within production deadlines. ART�s 3D rendering products combine high performance with a physically-based rendering environment, freeing designers / animators to create what they want in a real and predictable 3D space, without long waits to see results, and without disappointing results.

Strategic partners include 3D content creation application companies such as Alias, Autodesk, Dassault Systemes and Discreet. ART VPS is partnered with Texas Instruments for chip fabrication.

ART's customers include: BSA Design, Chapman Taylor Architects, Paul Steelman Design, Skidmore Owings Merrill (SOM), Taylor Woodrow, and Virtual Artworks for architectural visualization; The 3DO Company, Codemasters, and IBM Interactive for interactive entertainment; Aardman Animation, Naxos Images, and Movida Production for film, video and broadcast production; Bombardier Aerospace, Burrows, Getty Images, Plysu/Nampak, Procter & Gamble, and Theseus Projects for design visualization.
