Welcome to Onyx Computing!
Description
Onyx Computing, Inc., located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, is a software development studio specializing in the design and development of knowledge based systems for procedural modeling of vegetation. The company was founded and incorporated in 1992 by Dr. Bojana Bosanac and Pjer Zanchi.
The history of Onyx Computing goes more than fifteen years back when Dr. Bojana Bosanac, the president of Onyx Computing and the chief scientist, began her doctoral research at the Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. While at Harvard, Ms. Bosanac was involved in the research and development of knowledge-based systems for computer modeling of plant forms. The research was a multi-disciplinary endeavor which required the knowledge in botany, visual arts, design, and software engineering. Ms. Bosanac used these different fields in defining a novel, synergistic approach to procedural modeling which was the basis of the first TREE parametric modeler that followed several years later. After earning her doctoral degree, Ms. Bosanac and her husband Pjer Zanchi, who was by that time already an accomplished design engineer and manager, decided to start Onyx Computing.
We are scientists and artists and engineers bewildered by miraculous beauty of plants and all our products are at first and foremost an expression of that. Having studied plants in the field for so many years, we have come to appreciate them for their beauty and we feel we owe them the portraits to the best of our abilities. This thought has carried us through the toughest development work and we believe that it has brought ineffable quality to all our products.
