Intrinsic Press Release
[ December 9th 2001 ]
Intrinsic
Graphics, Inc., the developer of the innovative
Intrinsic Alchemy game development platform, today
announced that it will for the first time make
Alchemy ArtistPack for Maya available for free,
downloadable via the Web. The release of Alchemy
ArtistPack for Maya makes the artist tools from
Intrinsic Graphics' Alchemy, the powerful 3D applications
platform, available separately from its toolkit
for the first time.
The announcement
was made at the London, Los Angeles, New York
and Tokyo sites of 3December, Alias/Wavefront's
global celebration of the CG industry. Alchemy
ArtistPack for Maya provides a flexible scene
viewer that can be embedded directly within Maya.
It allows artists to immediately grasp at modeling
time how content assets will perform on the hardware
platform that they are creating for.
"This
seamless integration of run time previewing into
a Maya window shows the extensibility that is
increasingly convincing game companies to put
Maya at the core of their 3D pipelines," said
Geoff Foulds, Games Marketing Manager for Alias/Wavefront.
"Intrinsic Graphics has done a superb job of taking
advantage of the game-specific features of Maya
4.0.1."
"You
should see artists' and developers' eyes light
up when they watch the ArtistPack in action. It's
great for artists to see the results of their
work running on the console as soon as they finish,"
says Jesse Casman, Vice President of Marketing
at Intrinsic Graphics. "The ArtistPack for Maya
provides immediate and obvious benefit. It complements
the amazing things you can do in Maya. It tests
the art directly on the hardware, speeding up
game development cycles."
Intrinsic
Graphics provides developers and artists including
Tomb Raider creators Core Design and Acclaim Software
a powerful, more efficient way to create games,
and to do it across multiple systems. The company's
flagship product, Intrinsic Alchemy, is a high-performance
software platform for delivering real-time 3D
applications on next-generation game consoles,
personal computers, advanced TV set-top boxes
and future generation handheld devices.
