Company Profile
The Client is a Europe based leading company that aims at developing animation softwares.
Business Situation
The Client needed an animation application with advanced 3D graphics that had a unique and eye catching look. The Client wanted high quality 3D figures and content for its animated application. The main idea was that the application should look native to a specific platform.
Challenges
The challenges were to:
- Study the specifications given by the Client.
- Create graphics in 3D.
- Decide on a framework that allows cross platform support, ease of development, and integrated scripting capability.
Technical Solution
Q3 came up with a dedicated team of developers to bring up a technical solution for Client's requirements. The team of developers analyzed the requirements, designed the animation application as per Client's requirements, and finally decided to develop the application using Qt framework that gives quick and flexible results. Qt is a cross-platform application development framework used widely for creating commercial and open source applications. Using this framework, Q3 developed advanced 3D graphics and scriptable application to have a unique and custom look. Qt fitted perfectly into our goals and the application we developed had adaptability of interface components as Qt provided us with:
- Cross platform support
- Ease of development
- Integrated scripting capability
Q3 technologies created a completely customizable window layout and the users can quickly switch between multiple layouts based on the tasks at hand. Once the interface elements are designed, they can work on multiple platforms. The application allows savvy users to change the look of the application using various skins or styles.
Customer Speaks
Digital Canal Corporation is a software development organization located in the Midwestern US, specifically Iowa, where we have limited technological resources. Q3 has been a very good business partner for our company and I wish I had found Q3 sooner. Q3 has helped us to transform our business by increasing our product development capabilities such that our clients receive more software products at a faster pace than we were capable of producing ourselves previously. In the world of software, speed, quality and delivering on time are keys to on-going success and I am happy to say that Q3 has helped us achieve this to date. I would recommend Q3 to anyone needing development assistance. An added but important consideration is that the personnel at Q3 are also friendly, helpful and caring making the communication easier than I was told it would be. Q3 has helped our company and I would recommend them to others.
President, Digital Canal Corporation.
