CM Labs, BISim launch Vortex Studio for VBS
CM Labs and Bohemia Interactive Simulations have partnered to launch Vortex Studio with Virtual Battlespace (VBS).
VBS3 provides a virtual military training environment for land, air and sea training and mission rehearsal applications. Vortex Studio is a simulation and visualisation platform designed to support the simulation of tactical wheeled and tracked vehicles, as well as logistics and engineering equipment.
Vortex for VBS has also been tested with VBS STE, a prototype version of BISim’s next generation training and simulation software combining an enhanced VBS simulation engine with VBS Blue whole-earth rendering.
Supporting Vortex Studio’s mechanism models (parts, constraints, attachments, scripting), along with advanced vehicle systems, cable systems and terrain interactions, Vortex Studio for VBS allows the simulation platforms to work together, making it easy for VBS3 and VBS STE users to create and deploy high fidelity simulations of vehicles and ground equipment for applications in training and mission planning.
Simulation providers using VBS3 and the upcoming VBS STE can work within the Vortex Studio Editor—a complete desktop-based 3D editing environment—to create and test vehicles that closely reflect real equipment operation. This includes advanced modelling of the entire powertrain, suspension, braking systems and tire/track ground interaction, allowing simulation of complex interactions between vehicles and the virtual environment that users have developed within VBS. A simple workflow enables users to export Vortex Studio models to VBS and deploy them in VBS scenarios.
