What is Geo STUDIO Pro?

​

Geo STUDIO Pro is a professional 3D content creation tool designed specifically for the Modeling, Simulation, and Training (M&S) market.

It is a modern, high-performance alternative to legacy tools such as Presagis Creator — with full OpenFlight support, modern interchange formats, and a streamlined workflow built for today’s simulation pipelines.

​

Who is Geo STUDIO Pro for?

​

Geo STUDIO Pro is built for:

• Defense contractors

• Aerospace simulation developers

• Military training system providers

• Geospatial visualization companies

• Organizations using OpenFlight pipelines

• Teams integrating with rendering engines such as Aechelon HIE

If your organization creates or maintains real-time simulation models, Geo STUDIO Pro is built for you.

​

How is Geo STUDIO Pro different from Presagis Creator?

​

Geo STUDIO Pro is a modern, actively developed alternative to Presagis Creator.

Key differences include:

• Modern 64-bit architecture

• Active development and direct engineering access

• Competitive pricing

• Streamlined UI focused on productivity

• Integrated support for OpenFlight up to v16.8

• glTF interoperability for modern pipelines

Unlike legacy platforms, Geo STUDIO Pro is engineered with performance, extensibility, and long-term sustainability in mind.

​

Does Geo STUDIO Pro support OpenFlight?

​

Yes.

Geo STUDIO Pro supports OpenFlight up to version 16.8, including:

• LOD structures

• Switch nodes

• Degrees of Freedom

• Extended materials

• Industry-standard simulation constructs

It is fully compatible with modern OpenFlight-based workflows used throughout defense and aerospace industries.

​

Does Geo STUDIO Pro work with Aechelon HIE?

​

Yes.

Geo STUDIO Pro integrates seamlessly into pipelines that use Aechelon HIE and other real-time simulation rendering platforms.

Models exported from Geo STUDIO Pro are optimized for real-time performance and compatibility.

​

Does Geo STUDIO Pro support modern file formats?

​

Yes. In addition to OpenFlight, Geo STUDIO Pro supports:

• glTF / GLB (modern PBR workflows)

• OBJ

• Additional interchange formats

This allows teams to bridge traditional simulation workflows with modern real-time engines.

​

Is Geo STUDIO Pro actively developed?

​

Yes.

Geo STUDIO Pro is actively developed by Carbon Graphics, with direct engineering oversight from the product’s founder.

Customers benefit from:

• Direct technical communication

• Fast bug resolution

• Feature responsiveness

• Long-term product vision

​

What about licensing?

​

Geo STUDIO Pro is available in:

• Node-locked licenses

• Moveable (software dongle) licenses

• Floating licenses

This flexibility allows organizations to deploy licenses in the way that best fits their workflow.

​

Is there a cost advantage compared to legacy tools?

​

Yes.

Geo STUDIO Pro is positioned as a cost-effective professional alternative to legacy M&S modeling tools, without sacrificing capability or OpenFlight support.

For organizations managing multiple seats, the cost difference can be significant.

​

How difficult is it to transition from Presagis Creator?

​

For teams already familiar with OpenFlight-based workflows, the transition is straightforward.

Geo STUDIO Pro was designed to:

• Preserve OpenFlight structure and semantics

• Support standard M&S constructs

• Maintain compatibility with downstream simulation systems

Most users can become productive quickly.

​

Does Geo STUDIO Pro scale for enterprise use?

​

Yes.

Geo STUDIO Pro supports:

• Large scene graphs

• Complex LOD structures

• Multi-user environments (via floating licenses)

• Integration into professional simulation pipelines

It is engineered specifically for production environments — not general-purpose hobbyist modeling.
