About 3d-io

3d-io games & video production GmbH is a Germany based software company founded 1996. It is dedicated to provide digital content, high-quality 3D and 2D design and affordable and easy-to-use software products like Games and Infotainment. 3d-io has an established presence in design production, digital content creation and graphics animation. Major German and international game and infotainment companies including Braingame, CDV, Related-Designs, 3DO, Koch-Media, Data Becker, and Hannah-Barbera, as well as industrial and telecommunication key players such as Thyssen, Mercedes, Deutsche Bank, Sony, Wunderman, Bayer, M.I.T. GmbH, Hoechst, Krupp and Ferrero have utilized 3d-io’s unique graphic style and technology.

During the exploration of the workflows and production pipelines in game development and 3d design 3d-io has encountered the demand for robust, simple, reliable and optimized unwrapping methods. Unsatisfied with the suboptimal performance of available tools for this task, the company set out to create its own solution, the UV packing solution, to meet the high quality requirements of productions under tight schedules. After the tool proved it’s practicality during in-house production the company decided to make it available and is proud to announce the start of the public beta phase for the UV-Packer Autodesk™ 3ds Max™ plug-in for 3d artists and game developers.
