DiSTI’s GL Studio Version 4.5 Expands Capabilities for User Interface Creation

ORLANDO, Fla. - Sept. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- The DiSTI Corporation announced today the release of GL Studio version 4.5, software that helps user interface (UI) designers and application developers easily prototype, create, and deploy advanced 3D user interfaces for embedded devices and desktop applications. GL Studio version 4.5 contains graphic rendering features to improve battery life and performance for iOS, Android, and other embedded devices. This release also provides options to use either the OpenGL or DirectX API, multi-language support for UI internationalization, expanded compiler support, and improved Photoshop document support.

To complement faster and easier development time, GL Studio version 4.5 provides:

• The choice of deploying raster glyphs, or True Type fonts thus making all fonts available at runtime

• New object types to improve performance and battery life on mobile and embedded devices

• Added support for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 and Linux GCC version 4.6 integrated development environment (IDE) , to provide a more seamless development

• Increased editor and runtime support for DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file formats to allow developers to freely create content as they see fit

• Improved Photoshop Document (.PSD) importer now includes gauge needle behaviors, making it easier to bring these interface types to life

“The release of version 4.5 provides GL Studio developers with the means to create user interface content that gives consumers the end user experience they have come to expect in today’s products and devices. We are excited to supply our customers with these expanded features and capabilities and we will continue to provide the latest solutions to our customers as technologies advance,” said Darren Humphrey, Chief Technology Officer of DiSTI.

Adopted by luxury automotive manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover and visionary specialty aerospace developer Scaled Composites, GL Studio delivers on the panacea of end-to-end user interface development in a single tool chain. These companies, along with hundreds of others across the aerospace, medical, automotive, and simulation market segments, choose GL Studio for the following reasons:

 100% correlation between the Industrial Designer’s vision and the end product

 Ability to reuse the design all the way through the development process: Prototyping, Verification and Validation, Integration, and Deployment

 Shorter production cycles

 Natively supports 3-D OpenGL content

 Broad support for desktop and embedded hardware systems
