AVID SOFTIMAGE 3D 4.0 SOFTWARE
SOFTIMAGE|XSI 2.0 software users will be able to create effects by directly manipulating the actual real-time rendering capabilities of the target platform, whatever rendering engine is used. In addition, we have priced SOFTIMAGE|3D v4.0 to make this classic product more accessible to segments of the market which do not require the continuous stream of new ground-breaking and innovative features found within our XSI product family." Key new features and enhancements to SOFTIMAGE|3D v4.0 include: Multiple UV Texturing - enabling designers to assign multiple UV mapped textures on polygon mesh domains, using a UV domain of their choice Dopesheet Control for Shader and Custom Fcurve - providing increased control over animation function curves for plug-ins and mental ray shaders Interactive Normal Editing - allowing designers to interactively edit selected shading normals on polygon mesh models, thus providing instant feedback on the shading modifications Enhanced Vertex Color Shading - providing more flexibility for controlling use of vertex colors, especially for developers of next-generation console games Polygon Hide / Unhide - adding the ability to hide and unhide selected polygons. "While the majority of our development efforts continue to focus on our flagship SOFTIMAGE|XSI product family, with v4.0, we have added a number of new features and enhancements to meet the specific needs of our SOFTIMAGE|3D customers, particularly those who are mid-project or in the midst of transitioning their production pipelines over to XSI. The product's great success is a direct result of our long history of listening and responding to our customers' needs," said Michael Stojda, managing director, Softimage. "SOFTIMAGE|3D, an industry-standard for more than 10 years, has been used extensively by more than 13,000 customers in the animation, special effects and games development industry.
