Overview
Program-Ace built MilitaryTime an interactive, multi-user 3D simulator where teams rehearse combat and emergency scenarios, hostage situations, evacuations, and more, together, with realistic physics and per-participant performance analytics.
The challenge
The client needed realistic combat environments covering many scenarios, hostage situations, evacuations, terrorist attacks, and skirmishes, with true multi-user support for several simultaneous participants, and a custom build precise enough for their task rather than an off-the-shelf tool.
The solution
Program-Ace built a custom multi-user combat-scenario simulator with realistic physics.
Multiple defensive and emergency-response scenarios.
Multi-user simulation for several simultaneous participants, with VoIP.
Realistic physics, weapon damage, and fatigue mechanics.
Dynamic conditions: time of day, weather, and sun position.
Real-time action analysis with statistics and performance ratings.
Technology and approach
How we built it
Built on the Ace3D engine in C++ with assets from 3ds Max and After Effects, the simulator reconstructs realistic combat environments with advanced graphics, area shadows, particle systems, and parallax mapping, and supports multiple participants at once over VoIP with full performance analytics.
