Artifice, Inc., a leading provider of creative 3D software, has joined in a marketing and development partnership with VillageTronic, a German company producing high-end graphics acceleration hardware for Power Macintosh. The two companies have collaborated to create mutually optimized hardware and software 3D graphics products for Power Macintosh-based content creation professionals. Now the bundled products will be available to customers in North America and Europe with one-stop shopping and support, plus optimized prices.
DesignWorkshop(R) Classic and Professional from Artifice are fast, easy, and affordable software tools for creating spatial models, live walkthroughs, and renderings, from initial sketches to polished presentations. They combine creative power and ease-of-use, based on click-and-drag 3D modeling in a live 3D immersion modeling space. The DesignWorkshop software provides the fastest creation and rendering available for QuickDraw 3D models and scenes.
The MacPicasso 540 hardware accelerator with 3D Overdrive provides uncompromised 2D and 3D graphics acceleration, using the powerful 3Dfx Voodoo chip set. Other Macintosh accelerators using the 3Dfx chip don't support windowed graphics, making them useful only for game acceleration. And the Macintosh accelerators using ATI chip sets don't support 3Dfx-only games such as Bungie's Myth: The Fallen Lords.
The MacPicasso with 3D Overdrive, called by MacADDICT, "...one of the slickest pieces of engineering we've seen," is the first board for Power Macintosh to fully accelerate both the latest 3D immersion games and professional creative applications like DesignWorkshop. The MacPicasso 540 can also be enhanced with low-cost add-on modules for high-quality video work. The MacPaloma add-on provides video and audio in with four channel mixing, and the MacPablo provides video out.
DesignWorkshop presents a new kind of spatial design software for content creation professionals. The unique live-3D user interface of DesignWorkshop combines advanced feature-based solid modeling technology with MacDraw-style click-and-drag editing to provide maximum modeling power with the minimum of complex commands.
The trimesh QD3D geometry type is used internally in DesignWorkshop for maximum QuickDraw 3D acceleration. The Optimize Model command allows similar speed to be achieved with imported QuickDraw 3D models, using data streamlining and algorithmic conversion of meshes to trimeshes. In addition to raw performance, DesignWorkshop provides the most complete QuickDraw 3D viewing support available. The Walk Tool provides exciting game-style live 3D walkthroughs, radically accelerated by the MacPicasso.
Automatic scaled texture-mapping, an extensive library of realistic architectural textures and light types, and plug-in renderers all work together transparently to make producing high-quality scenes and renderings a snap. With the 3Dfx chip set and ample VRAM, the MacPicasso with 3D Overdrive doesn't slow down when rendering realistic, heavily textured DesignWorkshop models with extensive lighting effects.
The combination of immersion modeling, experiential visualization, and presentation rendering, in one fast, easy and affordable package makes DesignWorkshop with MacPicasso a great solution for architectural and interior design, for film, TV, and theatrical production design, lighting, real estate marketing, plant design and layout, and for exhibit and package design.
The "Classic MacPicasso Bundle" is being introduced at $599.00 direct from Artifice, including DesignWorkshop Classic and the MacPicasso 540 with 3D Overdrive. The "Professional MacPicasso Bundle" is being introduced at $799.00 direct from Artifice, including DesignWorkshop Professional and the MacPicasso 540 with 3D Overdrive. Orders can be placed at the Artifice web site, by calling 800-203-8324 in the USA, or by calling 541-345-7421 worldwide.
DesignWorkshop Classic is also available direct from Artifice at the everyday low price of $99.00, and the everyday low price for DesignWorkshop Professional complete with LightWorks rendering is just $495. DesignWorkshop Lite, a fully-functional freeware version of DesignWorkshop for Power Macintosh and Windows NT, is available now for downloading at the Artifice web site.
