St.
Rose, LA, November 7, 2001 –
Digimation
Inc., the preferred extension publisher for Discreet’s 3ds max™,
announces the immediate release of a new Illustrate
/ Morph-O-Matic bundle.
This
new combination of tools give artists the ability to create
sophisticated facial character animation and render it out in a 2D
‘toon’ shaded look.
Illustrate!
5.2
is the award winning 2D cartoon and technical illustration renderer that
has taken the 3ds max world by storm, and given users
unprecedented control over the final output of imagery. Mix 2D and 3D
elements in a single pass including reflections, refraction and
displacement, variable ink line weighting and much more is possible with
this powerful tool.
Morph-O-Matic
is another award winning tool – being the first true progressive
morphing engine for 3ds max, and boasts a number of unique
features including soft selections on morph targets, an unlimited number
of morph channels and View Dependent morphing, among many others. The
View Dependent morphing feature is absolutely ideal for cartoon work
specifically because
you can now cheat deformations based on the angle of any camera –
which is more in line with how traditional 2D animators cheat
perspective on their characters so they always look good.
“Combining
Illustrate! and Morph-O-Matic was an obvious solution for this new wave
of animators looking to turn their 3D scenes into traditional 2D ink and
paint output.” said Beau Perschall, Vice President of Digimation.
“You’ve got two best-of-breed tools that fit together beautifully
and really shine when used together, and we hope that the 3ds max
community will sit up and take notice.”
Pricing
& Availability
Registered
owners of 3ds max can order the Illustrate / Morph-O-Matic
bundle directly from Digimation at
www.digimation.com
for $495 US (that’s $100 off the list if purchased separately).
And
during the Digimation 9th Anniversary celebration, be sure to
take advantage of even lower special pricing that lasts until December
21st!
