FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

GHOST 3D ANNOUNCES PRODUCT BUNDLES AVAILABILITY


February 6, 2002 -- GHOST 3D, LLC announces today the immediate availability of two new Software solution packages for 3D modeling and reconstruction, as well as Reverse Engineering, reconstruction and 3D digitizing. The Power Modeler Pack 1 and Power Digitizer Pack 1 software bundles can be purchased through a worldwide network of resellers or directly online from http://www.ghost3d.com.


The product bundles, Power Modeler Pack 1 and Power Digitizer Pack 1, are appropriately based on GHOST 3D's popular core modeling and digitizing solutions, Surf-iT and Scribe-iT, and couple them with the powerful ResErect spline conversion and import tool. The product bundles also offer a notable license fee discount.

Over the past few years Surf-iT has become the de facto workflow for spline modeling in 3ds max and 3D Studio VIZ, breaking new ground with spline and patch based 3D modeling tools. These tools range from creation objects to heightened technology in surface construction, and on to handy extrusion tools and workflow enhancements. Absolutely no exception in design and workflow, Scribe-iT is arguably the most popular and powerful digitizing tool of its kind for 3ds max. ResErect also stands on its own as a powerful complement to any modeling professional's suite of tools, as it converts mesh, spline, and patch objects to splines and also has a unique Animation Master import tool that preserves the integrity of the Animation Master objects by reconstructing the patch object perfectly.

As and add-on to Surf-iT the ResErect plugin becomes an invaluable extension of the S-Object palette of creation tools. Users can convert any primitive to splines, and even leverage max's lofter to generate spline lofts to spline objects for editing and surfacing. ResErect also ehanances the speed and capabilities of spline editing, and invariably multiplies productivity when modeling or digitizing using the unique tools found in the Surf-iT and Scribe-iT software products. While ResErect complements the solid and widely praised GHOST 3D spline modeling workflow, solid customer demand for ResErect by both Surf-iT and Scribe-iT users underscores the perfect match in these new bundles.

Power Modeler Pack 1 is a bundle package consisting of Surf-iT and ResErect for 3ds max or 3D Studio VIZ.
Power Digitizer Pack 1 is a bundle package consisting of Scribe-iT and ResErect for 3ds max or 3D Studio VIZ.
