Description
CGI Studio is a software development platform for the creation of 2D and 3D graphical interfaces (HMI/GUI) for automotive instrument clusters and infotainment systems. Part of the application suite, CGI Studio offers automotive system designers a powerful Microsoft Windows® based solution to shorten development time for advanced automotive applications.
CGI Studio is a based on 3D and 2D "Candera" engines. The application allows platform-independent abstraction and fully supports the OpenGL 2.0 ES standard to give system designers the greatest possible design flexibility.
CGI Studio provides a single development tool chain. The application suite enables system designers to proceed from early conception to design, prototyping, testing, and deployment. Initial designs from the graphics artist can be imported into CGI Studio from a variety of popular graphics software applications. The system designer can then develop and enhance the design in the CGI Studio software environment. Before deployment, the final functionality and appearance of the interface design can be verified in a simulated rendering of the target application within CGI Studio.
All tools are optimized for Socionext graphics products, including the latest 2D/3D SoCs. The CGI Studio tool can also be used with non-Socionext graphics chips, providing a higher level of software retention and reuse.
