The company's work includes 3D Animation, Video Production, and Panoramic photography for Commercial/Industrial applications.

Last year epic developed a 3D "walk through" using the Unity 3D game engine. This online application allows a viewer to explore a drilling rig just as you would in a 3D game environment. This application was developed through HARC (Houston Advanced Research Council) from a grant by the General Land Office of Texas. epic is now developing applications for training, safety simulations, and marketing purposes. The use of powerful game engines for interactive 3D environments is poised to take off over the next couple of years. epic software group will provide 3DCamp attendees with a sneak peek into the future.
