<p>LightWork Design Announces Cross-Platform Support for RPC Content<br />
RPC functionality integrated within world's leading rendering engine!</p>
<p>SHEFFIELD, UK (22 July 2003) - LightWork Design, the world's leading<br />
supplier of rendering solutions for developers of advanced 3D computer<br />
graphics software, announces cross-platform support for RPC Content within<br />
LightWorks.</p>
<p>The LightWorks implementation of RPC, supporting RPC people, trees and other<br />
objects, runs on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms. Andy Chapman,<br />
CEO of LightWork Design said, "This new functionality is closely integrated<br />
into the standard LightWorks API, providing customers with the quickest and<br />
most cost-effective way to add RPC support to their applications." The<br />
implementation of RPC in LightWorks is intelligent, extremely efficient and<br />
supports the rendering of RPC objects in both software and interactive<br />
rendering modes. It allows users to enhance the realism of their images by<br />
easily adding the RPC content available from ArchVision.</p>
<p>Randall Stevens, President of ArchVision, commented, "We're really pleased<br />
that LightWork Design has made it so easy for their customers to add RPC<br />
support to their applications. This will significantly expand the number of<br />
users who will be able to use RPC to create world-class 3D images."</p>
<p>Alexandra Yessios, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at auto*des*sys,<br />
Inc. added, "We are excited to hear about the support for RPC within<br />
LightWorks. The opportunity to include RPC content within images will be<br />
particularly useful to our customers and will let them create even more<br />
realistic designs. Using LightWorks will make it much easier for us to<br />
offer this technology to our users and we hope to implement this within<br />
form.Z very soon."</p>
<p>Jari Siikarla, software designer in charge of visualization development at<br />
Vertex Systems Oy, commented, "To have RPC support available within the<br />
familiar LightWorks API will dramatically reduce our development time;<br />
allowing our customers to enjoy RPC in the next release of our Vertex<br />
Interior and Vertex Building Design applications. Our customers will then<br />
be able to visualize their design concepts faster, more realistically, and<br />
truer to their original ideas."</p>
