NEW PAINT SYSTEM FOR SILICON GRAPHICS WORKSTATIONS

IRVINE, California (October 13, 1993) - Interactive Effects, Inc today announced version 1.2 of AMAZON Paint for all Silicon Graphics workstations.

The new software is aimed at 3D animators and graphic artists seeking an affordable high performance solution to paint and image processing needs.

AMAZON provides the artist with an unlimited number of drawing layers which are composited together to create the final image. Layers may be hidden or dimmed while working. Various operations in AMAZON may take one layer as the source and draw a copy onto the destination making truly non-destructable image manipulation possible.

Unlike other paint packages which keep matte channel information separate from the current image, AMAZON integrates matte information into every pixel in the same way popular animation packages produce rendered images. Real-time compositing lets the user work on any layer and see the composited full-resolution results as drawing occurs.

AMAZON Features:

Support for over 10 popular image file formats.
40 Image processing effects
Over 20 Brush effects
Custom 32bit Brushes and patterns
Image sizes limited only by system memory
Infinite Zoom in/out capability
Realtime image panning
Image Rotoscoping tools
Anti Aliased Shapes
Anti Aliased Postscript text
Full Wacom tablet support for pressure sensitive drawing.
Intuitive interface developed and optimized specifically for IRIS GL

AMAZON paint will run on any Silicon Graphics workstation, including the Indy and Indigo Entry systems, running Irix 4.05 or higher and supporting full 24 bit or virtual 24 bit color.

AMAZON paint is currently shipping at a list price of $2250 per license which includes full printed and online documentation, phone/email/ftp support and AMAZON utilities. Educational and site discounts available.
