GESTEL RELEASES VERSION 2.4 OF SOLIDTHINKING
RenderMan Based Advanced 3D Environment Demonstrated At Imagina 96
MONACO - February 15, 1996 - GESTEL s.a.m. today announced that
March 1, 1996 will release Version 2.4 of solidThinking for Intel
based PCs, HP Pa-Risc, and SUN Sparc workstations running NEXTSTEP.
The new version of the award winning 3D environment is being
demonstrated at Imagina 96 in Booth B10.
solidThinking is the commercial 3D modeling, animation and rendering
solution that offers the most complete integration with RenderMan,
Pixar's scene description language.
solidThinking Version 2.4 provides many new advanced capabilities,
including full support to raytracing and radiosity rendering
techniques using BMRT from Larry Gritz as well as to PhotoRealistic
RenderMan from Pixar.
NURBS based modeling now fully supports trim curves.
New features include promote function, delegate, interactive
texture positioning, and enhanced compositing with automatic
generation of shadows on background images, import and export of
files in IGES format (that is added to the most diffused data
exchange formats already supported from previous versions);
Also enhanced in Version 2.4 is animation that now offers full
support to DPS Personal Animation Recorder.
GESTEL s.a.m., a wholly owned independent company based in Monaco,
acquired proprietary rights of solidThinking from GESTEL Italia
s.r.l. last December. GESTEL Italia continues to act as worldwide
distributor.
