A prototype 3D video animation package for the Amiga Computer, which led to the incorporation of Octree Software was released in 1986.

Ormandy wanted to provide inexpensive yet professional industrial video and corporate presentation software.

In 1993, Octree Software moved from New York to California and became known as Caligari Corporation.

The website and forums were affected, and some services ceased to operate from May 22, 2009.
