MindRender® Virtual Reality Explorer Kit (VREK)
ThemeKit ® is a software development house based in the UK. Our latest software is the MindRender Virtual Reality Explorer Kit (VREK), a combination of a real-time 3D modelling package and interactive scene designing software. The VREK as a stand alone package is ideal for creating functional, interactive and immersive environments that can be distributed using the free viewer, MindViewer. This makes it ideal for educational establishments creating interactive learning environments or for game developers creating low polygon models, the texture mapping feature alone makes MindFormer, the object modeller, stand head and shoulders above most other polygonal modellers on the market.
MindFormer
MindFormer is the modelling tool for creating individual objects to
incorporate into your VR worlds or export to other packages. MindFormer
offers outstanding functionality and it is possible to create exciting
3D models in real-time without a high specification PC. 
MindFormer includes over 550 different command types, many with sub-menus
plus 27 interactive information pages, offering functions from basic creation
of primitives such as cubes, spheres, cones and planes to complex functions
such as extrusion, powerful and versatile texture mapping tools, real time
Phong specular highlighting, layered modelling and animation to name just
a few. However the greatest benefit of MindFormer is the ease with which
you can create objects and, once created, the versatility of the manipulation
tools. MindFormer supports stereoscopic viewing for many of the available
VR peripherals on the market, see the list below,
which allows you to see the objects you have built in true stereoscopic
adding depth and realism to your creations.Click

A complete list of MindFormer
functions will be posted here very shortly.
MindSetter
The second tool in the toolkit is a scene designer, this is the world
building tool MindSetter. 
MindSetter
is the main tool for building environments. You can create a virtual space
then place objects generated in MindFormer or retrieved from the Internet
in VRML into the space to create a complete VR environment. Once the objects
are in the scene you can duplicate, scale, move them or add interaction.
Interaction can be achieved in several ways, for example selection, by
clicking on or selecting an object, time induced interaction or object
collision. Full support for animation created in MindFormer is also included.
MindSetter is the ultimate tool for users of low cost VR headsets allowing
immersive scene design, it supports all the VR peripherals below with full
stereoscopic support for the visual devices as well as headtracking where
available. Support is also included for joystick and mouse input. Click
on the image on the left to see screen shots from MindSetter.
MindViewer
MindViewer is the viewer that allows you to view the worlds you have built as well as allowing you to share them with others. As with MindSetter it supports the various VR Peripherals mentioned earlier. MindViewer is available to distribute freely.
The MindRender Virtual Reality Explorer Kit retails at £249.00 plus VAT (£292.58)
