== Definition ==

'''Flux''' is a 3D software suite released by Media Machines which contains both Flux Player and Flux Studio.

Flux Player is a [[X3DV]] viewer that is designed to work both as plugin in a [[HTML]]/[[XML]] viewer named Internet Explorer, and as standalone program, both inside activation-free Microsoft Windows Me. Flux Studio is a [[X3DV]] editor that is designed to work inside activation-free Microsoft Windows Me. Regardless of their design principles, both 3D programs supports Windows Me and higher.

Flux Player and Flux Studio are freely downloadable for any usage under a proprietary [http://mediamachines.wordpress.com/license-agreement/ Flux Player and Flux Studio license].

Flux software is created and developed by [[Tony Parisi (software developer)|Tony Parisi]], who coworked with [[Mark Pesce]] on the development of the experimental Open Inventor based [[VRML]] prototype called Labyrinth. Tony Parisi went on to develop and retail [[Intervista Software|Intervista]]/[[Platinum Technology|PLATINUM]] WorldView, a professional-class VRML viewer, which introduced L-shaped navigation bar. Due to common authorship of both standard and software, Tony Parisi's [[X3DV]] line of software can be treated as default [[X3DV]] software for Web3D in Windows Me, as analogously Internet Explorer is default HTML/XML software for Web2D in Windows Me. Flux Studio can successfully import, manipulate and export *.WRL, *.X3DV and *.X3D files.

Initial joint distribution version of Flux Player 2.0 and Flux Studio 2.0 was released on February 21, 2007; while final joint distribution version of Flux Player 2.1 and Flux Studio 2.1 was released on May 28, 2007.<ref>[http://mediamachines.wordpress.com/ Media Machines]</ref>

Flux itself is derived from Pivoron released on December 31, 2001; which features both Cosmo Software compatibility and fullscreen mode.<ref>[http://mediamachines.wordpress.com/ Media Machines]</ref>
