Did you notice on our new web site the community contribution part? You will find some technical content from our community.

It's still embryonic at the moment, but you are very welcome on this page if you want to be referenced (nova scenes, scripts, plugins, applications, ...).

If you are interested, just drop me an email (fred@AT@vertice.fr).

During the three next weeks, this blog won't be much active. Indeed, it's time for holidays and much of the Vertice team is on vacation .

Years after years, holidays have always been suitable to ideas' birth in the Vertice team! So, we will be very pleased to welcome you again on this blog from the last week of August with plenty of new inovative content.

Meanwhile, "portez-vous bien" as we say in my country!

You may know that Vertice is also a graphics studio branded: Vertice Design. Indeed, developping Windows, Mobile, Rich Web or Web Application is no longer sufficient for end users. Ergonomics and graphics design are mandatory to speed up the accession and the use of an application. That why, 2 years ago we created Vertice Design (french link).

Today, Anaïs, our 2D artist just opened a blog (in french, sorry for English readers!) to demonstrate her job.

Microsoft Expression range, Silverlight, Flash and Photoshop have no secrets for her! So, don't hesitate to participate with your questions through comments on her blog!

For more information, just drop me an email or go to: http://www.vertice.fr/News.aspx. 

Many new things this month at Vertice.

Nova 2010 range release has occupied the whole team in recent weeks! There were several roundtable discussions internally and lots of coffee to develop the new ergonomics and without revealing the result, it is only the beginning in our future roadmap :-).

In the next weeks, we will demonstrate our new technology by giving you more contents, samples, documentation and seminars than ever. The second date (after the Laval Virtual) will be at the Bewise Day Conference on may 18th in Aix-en-Provence. We will animate a 45 minuts session to introduce interactive 3D with Nova. Don't also hesitate to talk with us on our booth at this event (sorry the banner is in french!).

A new graphic design also complements the whole and I hope you will appreciate it! Don't hesitate tou tell us what you think about.

During the last month, many of our early alpha testers also asked us for a free Version. It's my pleasure to say that it's now done with the Nova Studio Express version.

Enjoy!

Maybe you know Bewise, Vertice's sister company, fully specialized on Microsoft technologies.

For the fourth consecutive year, Bewise organizes in Toulouse (France) a free technical conference with the participation of Vertice.

Vertice will be happy to welcome you on its booth to present Nova 2010 Range, on April 1, 2010.

If you are in Toulouse on that date and if you love rugby (*), please register and come see us.

(*) The event will take place in the Ernest Wallon Stadium (Stade Toulousain headquarters).

Vertice wanted to thank you all for coming to meet us at Imagina 2010. Here are some photos of the event. Enjoy!

Vertice will propose in the coming weeks 2 internships. One oriented 2D/3D graphic and the other developer-oriented real-time 3D.

So if you love art, the challenge and if you want to reach our team during an internship (and possibly more if affinity), drop me an email at fredATvertice.fr.

Incidentally, the intership will be paid and will take place in Toulouse (France). I know that passion does not care this kind of detail, but it's better when it's said!

In fact, if you're interested, don't forget that an interview should be prepared ...

You should know that Nova 2010 range will be launched at the beginning of the second 2010 quarter. This version will be the largest in terms of new features we've ever made! Here are the first four unveiled:

• DirectX 10 and shader 4.0 support
• New engine for real-time shadows
• Nova Web Player view: support IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome
• New formats for importing files from 3D software (.fbx, .dxf, .x, .obj, .3ds, .dae)

More news soon!
