Caligari | Company | Mission


Caligari Corporation

Founded in 1986, Caligari Corporation was one of the pioneers of 3D modeling and animation. Throughout our history, Caligari focused on providing powerful, intuitive and affordable tools that enable users to communicate visually, whether the end product is a web page, a fully-rendered image, a 3D model, an interactive simulation, or an online shared space.

Caligari always brought innovation to the 3D authoring process in markets that ranged from design and engineering to biomedicine and entertainment. The release of trueSpace7 opened new doors in 3D by providing our users with something that no other 3D company has ever offered: real-time collaborative authoring.

Microsoft Corporation acquired Caligari in early 2008, which allowed trueSpace7.6 to be released for free in July 2008.

Product Overview

Caligari's trueSpace7.6 is a complete modeling, texturing, animating, rendering, and 3D collaboration tool, used by everyone from 3D enthusiasts to illustrators, researchers to teachers, architects to design engineers, and more. The immersive real-time interface allows users to intuitively and directly manipulate objects in a fully-rendered 3D space, enhancing and accelerating the design process.

trueSpace7.6 was made available for free in July 2008, and is the only 3D authoring product to offer all aspects of real-time design, modeling and animation within a virtual 3D space shared by remote participants over the broadband internet. The trueSpace7 collaboration server enables multiple participants to connect to a shared 3D space to create and manipulate shared content in real-time1.
