"3D & Multimediagalleri: Cult 3D" by Roger Pettersson; Thomas Kätterer; Johan von Feilitzen; Camilla Bjelkås Cult3D was a web viewer for 3D content made using the Cult3D Designer authoring program. It enjoyed moderate success, with 6 million users by 2001 and several notable clients using it, and more importing options for 3D models from other programs being added. 5.3 was the last version released in 2002, with the last update to the plugin being in 2004, when the technology was sold to Mental Images GmbH. Nvidia later bought Mental Images in 2007, becoming the subsidiary Nvidia Advanced Rendering Center. Despite updating the website, the plugin received no updates and starting 2011, it stopped being showcased as a viable option, and the downloads page was kept up because of users that still had an authoring licence, later being taken down in 2013. |
