Here´s Erik – the machine-gun-mouth presenting Ventuz at Siggraph in Vancouver in front of a little demo that we built for this occasion. I am still stunned by how fast a person can speak

It looks like our Remote OSC Apps for Venutz is quite popular. We have counted 1046 Downloads only for the iPad App.

Thanks to everyone who downloaded it. Please, do recommend us and we are currently working on the next upgrades, so stay tuned for more news on our Apps

Ventuz scenes can remotely be controlled through your iPad by [v] Remote over OSC Commands.

Since something awesome like this probably stunned them so much – it actually took Apple some time to approve it. But here it is now!

Being in the game for over a decade now and one of the first to work with Ventuz we have gathered a lot of ready to use material over time. After reviewing the data on our server we decided that some of the goodies bear too many memories and hours of hard work to let them spend the rest of their days on our hard drives in solitude. So we took them off the shelf, polished them, and made them available to you. We want to help you to save time with the tedious work of modeling, texture baking and whatever else is necessary to make things shine and invite you to browse through our constantly growing archive. We hope you find something useful for your project and your success, and that you can focus on what’s really important – your creativity!

The first Beta and therefore trial version of the shop will go online shortly. We will inform you accordingly and ask you to help us make this shop a success by trying it out and telling us what we can correct or make beter for you to really benefit from the shop.

In the beginning we will only have the option of paying via PayPal. Payment via credit card will follow soon, though,

Thanks in advance for your help and find below some examples of what can be found in the shop and what great opportunities this offer you. We will add new items to the shop continuously so this is only the beginning

You will have a wide variety of elements to choose from. Up until now we have gathered more than 100 different scenes and objects such as 3D Environments, Icons, Textures, even a Ventuz Remote App and cool Ventuz Wallpapers to download for free.

Plus – there is a lot more to come!

The BEST thing for you is that you can find even readily programmed Ventuz scenes that you can download and use and ammend as you like for your own purposes. Here is one example of an interactive Memory Game. You can change CI, logos and images on the Memory Cards and sell this custom made game to your clients. We have made the experience that this little game is an absolute people magnet on exhibitions etc.

We just have to share the facts and figures with you since this project is rather impressive and brought us one step closer to finally ruling the world mmwwwahahahaaaaaaa……

New video: 3D Touch Websearch

Boredom can result in a phase of creativity and inspired by a client request we have developed a web search application that is operated through touch screen and displays the results in 3D.

I would also like to advert to another video. This is a demo of a multitouch interface with ventuz. Our compliments to cladclad, well done. Looking forward to see the first real applications with this one.

All right, all right, we were lazy, at least regarding this Blog. However, tons of things have happened in the meantime and today we are shoveling the piled-up news out into the blog.

First of all – Ventuz-news:

There is a new Ventuz version.

Her name is ventuz 2008 and there may not be soooo many improvements as expected. BUT… looks are not everything and when it comes to character, there seem to be quite a few novelties. It seems that the new 2008 version might be a good base for new features in the following releases. Ventuz rumors are that shortly a roadmap will be published, telling us when we can expect which improvements. Hear, hear!!! Timetables!!!

There is also a new structure of products. The basic version doesn’t exist anymore. Instead, there is now an express version that has just about the same limitations as the basic with the profound difference that it is for free. A reason for rejoicing should also be the new price structure. The Designer got a little more expensive, however the price for the Presenter was cut by about 50%. For the first time the prices have been published on the website. I have never seen such thing on other websites like vizrt, watchout or others. Congratulations to the new transparency. Ventuz rumors are that shortly, even a roadmap will be published, telling us when we can expect which improvements. Hear, hear!!! Timetables!!!

You can find a free trial version here:

Just insert your email and you will receive the key right away.

Actually at this point I wanted to include my own personal wish list, unfortunately I can’t upload files over 10MB. Too bad…

there also is a new Ventuz Design

We are very happy that we were given the opportunity to create the new Ventuz design and the new CI. Please send flowers, congratulations and exuberant comments to me. Criticism goes to spamfilter@stereolize.com where it will be carefully analyzed, discussed internally and taken into consideration for future Ventuz design development. Honestly!

A new Ventuz website

Web stuff is usually not our scope of work but we made an exception and since we were the glorious ones who developed the new logo and the new design, we though it would be kinda stupid to have some other agency that also doesn’t have a clue about design, ruin our great CI. As we always say… if you want something to be done the right way, do it yourself!

A special thanks goes to Martin who wasn’t afraid to realize our ideas exactly the way we wanted it.

And by the way, yes we are aware of the fact that we haven’t reinvented the internet but we also can’t do everything at the same time.


There are new Ventuz Dongles


Hooray, there are new ventuz dongles. Everyone who knows the old ones (and I don’t mean the very old ones but the ones after that) knows why this is a reason for rejoicing. And since even Maik has been working with a new dongle for several weeks now and didn’t manage to wreck it yet, we have empirical proof that they are actually good for something and don’t give up so easily.
