History
Stage 1: Parent Company Formation. Our parent company Program-Ace established in
1993 as a printing house rendering full color printing and graphic design services.
Shortly the company started its software development activities and became one of
the branch leaders in the field.
Stage 2: 2D/3D Activities Started. Program-Ace started to study 2D/3D market and
established CG-Ace company in 2005, which became a creative & graphics production
division of Program-Ace, delivering high quality 2D/3D graphics and programming
services.
Stage 3: Independent 3D Modeling Studio. In 2009 a part of CG-Ace grew into an
independent 3D modeling company 3D-Ace Studio. At the beginning of 2009 3D-Ace
Studio specialized on delivering industrial systems of 2D/3D visualization, interactive
simulators, and graphics processing modules.
Present: Today 3D-Ace Studio is a market leader in the field, producing custom 3D
content, including modeling, animation and visual effects for architecture, advertising
and marketing, manufacture, government and military sector.
“I chose 3D-Ace because
the works in their 3D
portfolio were very near

“We interviewed about a dozen of 3D
modeling companies for this very
important application, as we had a need
for analysis of evacuation routes before
the building was actually build. We also
planned to use Emergency Evacuation
Simulator for teaching office staff at a later
stage. We ended up choosing 3D-Ace
Studio because they offered the best
overall package (best quality portfolio and
customer service) and they really
understood what we needed to
accomplish. They delivered a high end

Oil Platform Simulator
OPS addresses such vital requirements of oil and gas industry as the increased demand for skills
training and improvement among constantly changing teams, highest planning and management
standards, serious risks for human health and safety.
This realistic simulator of the oil platform was designed for teaching personnel, simulating the
working processes and working out the emergency evacuation plan.
The system is based on proprietary Ace3D Engine and, therefore, includes a number of
advanced features, such as:
 Photorealistic presentation of environment and branch-specific items;
 Simulation of all working processes and emergency situations related to the platform’s daily
operation;
 Technically accurate 3D models containing finest equipment details, realistic texturing and
lighting, strict number of polygons and texture files for real-time rendering with no loss in
image quality.
Oil Platform Simulator (OPS) belongs to such type
of interactive 3D solutions, which are always created
in partnership between industrial experts and IT
specialists.
Substantial experience in creating 3D interface for
high-end 3D simulators allows 3D-Ace to produce
and deploy 3D content of any quality: from simple
low-poly models up to photo-realistic high-polygon
3D assets.
Oil Platform Simulator is a highly
customized product, which can be easily
adjusted to the needs and peculiarity of
each company or training course. That
means that OPS’s key advantages
definitely include also flexibility and
scalability.
Thus, Oil Platform Simulator opens new
possibilities — first of all, for offshore
platform owners and operators, as well
as for specialized training agencies and
centers involved into the education and
testing of specialists for oil and gas
industry.

Emergency Evacuation Simulator
This interactive simulator was aimed to address the following issues:
 analyze the evacuation route and find its weaknesses;
 teach staff how to act in emergency situations and find the way out.
Main approach in creation of realistic 3D interface for Emergency Evacuation Simulator:
 we created precise 3D model of a 5-storey office building, including interior scenes and
furniture items. We used AutoCAD 2D drawings of floor plans as working backgrounds for the
models;
 along with creation of 3D models, we applied proper lighting and texturing techniques to
obtain the desired result;
 we added different visual effects like smoke, fire, etc. to simulate different emergency
situations and add realism to the scene;
 we created animation and simulated human movements reminding the loss of orientation
due to the health damage;
 our artists modeled as many random people (bots) as it was required to run the training in
realistic conditions.
Target Group
Administration and employees of large
office buildings, airports, railway and
subway stations, shopping centers,
plants and factories, research institutes
and scientific laboratories; also
governmental and non–governmental
organizations responsible for fire safety.
Advantages
 reduces the expenditures related to
regular emergency training of
employees;
 performs training in a highly
realistic environment;
 avoids a long, messy and exhausting
real–life evacuation drill;
 you can run the training as many
times as it is necessary to brush up
the evacuation procedure;
 tunes your emergency action plan;
 Allows to check whether your
building corresponds to the
requirements of safe evacuation.

Emergency Evacuation Simulator is an interactive 3D
client-server multiuser application with high degree
of realism that simulates different emergency
situations requiring urgent evacuation.
Main purpose of this application is to analyze the
effectiveness of evacuation path, and understand
people behavior and movement characteristics
during emergency evacuation.
Interactive simulation is a powerful tool since real
data on building evacuation are rarely available and
costly to obtain.

Military Training
Military training is an interactive application jointly
developed by 3D-Ace and Program-Ace for training
military forces on how to act in different warlike
situations.
Key requirement:
To reconstruct the realistic combat environment and
ensure high level of interactivity enabling users to
work through various situations that can happen to
troops.
“3D-Ace was our IT
partner in developing an
interactive 3D multi-user
simulator. We were glad
to cooperate with them
as their team showed a
high level of proficiency and delivered us a
high-quality solution on time and on
budget. Program-Ace team helped us to
develop this 3D application and its 3D
division 3D-Ace Studio did the modeling
part…”
Jonathan Bernand,
CEO at Military Time
Approach:
3D-Ace Studio produced custom 3D environment for the Interactive Military Training, including
3D models of weapons, military vehicles, soldiers, etc. Our technical expertise in the field of 3D
modeling, lighting, texturing, and animation allowed us to achieve absolutely new level of
realism. We paid great attention to models’ geometry, applied realistic textures, used
appropriate lighting sources, shadows and added visual effects to increase the perception of the
situation by participants.
We simulated different processes and phenomenon like:
 Fire, explosions or other damages caused by shooting with different weapons, etc.
 Natural phenomenon including smog, clouds, changing light conditions (depending on the sun
position), etc.
 Human movements that is running, walking, jumping, crouching, etc.
Project Benefits:
Cost savings – when creating 3D assets for this military training we offered our client an
opportunity to use some existing 3D models from our library with further customization to keep
the project costs down.
Convincing environment – the use of advanced 3D technologies enabled our artists to create
first-grade 3D graphics ensuring high-realism of the scenes.
