SCUM bria - Re: "More Pentium III Supported SOftware" The list keeps getting LONGER ! This one is for 3D Visualization enhancements - especially for 3D Studio MAX - of course, the new Star Wars probably used older Pentium IIs and standard 3D Studio MAX ! Paul {================}biz.yahoo.com Friday March 5, 3:31 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Infinite Pictures, Inc.Infinite Pictures(TM) SmoothMove(R) Products Complement Adobe(R) and Kinetix(R) Software Using the Intel(R) Pentium(R) III SmoothMove Technology by Infinite Pictures Enhances the Functionality Of Kinetix 3D Studio VIZ and Adobe PhotoDeluxe(TM) PORTLAND, Ore., March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Users of Kinetix 3D Studio VIZ and Adobe PhotoDeluxe will be able to more quickly and easily produce spherical panoramas using Infinite Pictures' SmoothMove technology along with Intel's next generation processor, the Pentium III. Embedded in 3D Studio VIZ and PhotoDeluxe is SmoothMove, a proprietary technology developed by Infinite Pictures that enables users to create and smoothly navigate in real-time through interactive spherical panoramas created from photographs, computer generated images and architectural drawings. ''We're pleased that our SmoothMove technology is a part of the software products that have been optimized to work with Intel's Pentium III,'' explains Roger Thomas, Chairman of Infinite Pictures. ''A faster processor allows users to maximize their ability to create real-life 360 degree panoramic images.'' With SmoothMove technology, users can move and look in any direction, stop at any point, and zoom in and out of panoramas that are small enough to send via e-mail or post on web sites. Designed for use by multimedia content developers, architects, game developers, Web page designers and other 3D rendering professionals, SmoothMove software generates navigable panoramas that provide instant visualization of even the most complex models. This week, Adobe PhotoDeluxe was chosen as a finalist in the Best Photo Editing Software category at the 75th annual Photo Marketing Association trade show and conference. PhotoDeluxe is considered the leading consumer digital imaging application with 14 million copies distributed worldwide. In April 1998, Adobe integrated Infinite Picture's SmoothMove panoramic technology -- SmoothMove PhotoStitcher -- into PhotoDeluxe Business Edition. A few months later, SmoothMove PhotoStitcher was incorporated into PhotoDeluxe Consumer Edition. 3D Studio VIZ users can augment their ability to create panoramic images and movies by upgrading to SmoothMove Panoramas for 3-D Studio VIZ. The upgrade includes a hotspot editor, CG seamer, browser plug-ins, viewer, and the ability to create SmoothMove Panoramic Movies. The SmoothMove PhotoStitcher upgrade for PhotoDeluxe allows users to seam together more than three photos and navigate around the resulting panorama. A free demo CD of the SmoothMove technology is available by calling Infinite Pictures at 503-221-2449 or visiting the Infinite Pictures website at smoothmove.com . Located in Portland, Oregon, Infinite Pictures, Inc., is the leading developer of innovative navigational software tools that create the sense of real places through computer technology. Infinite Pictures' SmoothMove® technology allows multimedia authors to manipulate and interactively display photo-realistic environments using architectural drawings, photographs and computer-generated images.
