Toyota IQ & Alternativa3D

28.01.2010 Greg Bolotoff

Moscow company «Brandstudio» developed promo-site which is devoted to a new urban car model Toyota — IQ and in which our engine Alternativa3D was used.

This is a unique example of how to use 3D in website navigation. In the heart of it is a simplified simulator of a car: driving the small but smart IQ the user can view sections of the site just approaching them.

Typical features of the site: the user gets information about Toyota IQ dynamics simply using navigation, in other words, on a native level. One can’t exclude the gaming side of the navigation - view of the site becomes a jovial and pleasant occupation. Rolls and skidding of the car during big turns look rather realistic!

New Personnel

20.01.2010 Eugenia Startseva

Though news on blog have become rare, the work is in full swing, tens of tasks are being solved and discussions held. Don’t want to write about everyday routine while really intriguing news are under non-disclosure agreements. Though, everything will become public within several months.

We’re developing and our staff also widens. 6 new stars have appeared in our team since the last month.

Aleksandra Medvedeva
Coordinator of the game Tanki Online. Deals with aggregators and subcontractors, keeps statistics and leads the game marketing.
Olga Stepanova
Server programmer. Worked half rate for 3 months and finally decided to fully join the staff.
Sergey Spesivov
Responsible for 3D-modeling and texturing.
Mikhail Yarusov
2D-designer — from icons to websites for current and future projects.
Fedor Kulikov
Application programmer of broad specialization.
Grigory Bolotov
Methodologist. Thoroughly studies Alternativa Platform technologies and passes his experience through documentation and other training aids.

Discussions are now held in the office since there’s no space for all of us in the negotiation room.

The tallest person in the team now is not Aleksey Kviring but Fedor Kulikov.
