NEW ORLEANS, July 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SIGGRAPH 2000, BOOTH #2403 -- Improv
Technologies, Inc., a software company for the development of rich media
content for the film/video, Internet and video game industries,
http://www.improv-tech.com, today announced the launch of Orchestrate3D(TM)
(O3D) Version 1.0, the first non-linear production system for creating and
managing 3D animation. Orchestrate3D(TM), in conjunction with existing 3D
applications software, enables artists, directors, and producers to create and
manage entire projects within a unified, collaborative framework that can be
easily combined to form an endless variety of original animation. Simplifying
the creation of 3D animation, O3D enables users to purchase only the
components they need to enhance their already existing 3D animation software
packages; modules can be added to create an enhanced production pipeline on
top of existing software applications.
Orchestrate3D(TM) will also works seamlessly with future project
management, asset management and animation modules. O3D's first module, Scene
Conductor(TM), enables animators to layer and blend key-frame, expression
based or motion-capture animation sequences, in a procedural non-linear
environment. Scene Conductor(TM) speeds up your production process by
providing a framework to infinitely create and reuse libraries of animation
sequences while reducing the amount of hands-on, frame-by-frame manipulation.
"The cost of 3D content production will be greatly lowered by decreasing the
time and effort necessary to create high quality animation," said President of
Improv Technologies, Athomas Goldberg. "We are excited that artists,
directors and producers will witness first-hand here at Siggraph the true
functionality of this product."
Some key benefits of Orchestrate3D include multi-target animation,
layering, motion compositing, hierarchical sequencer, adjustment clip, import
and export of Maya(TM), 3D Studio Max(TM) (in beta) and Softimage/XSI(TM) (in
development) file formats, module based framework and future platform
independent architecture.
