  237. <p>FLUID3D FROM OZ.COM DELIVERS BROADCAST-QUALITY<br />
  238. STREAMING 3D ANIMATION OVER THE INTERNET<br />
  239. WITH REALNETWORKS REALPLAYER G2</p>
  240. <p>3D Web Animation Can Be Created in the Most Popular 3D Authoring Tools;<br />
  241. Fluid3D Player to be Distributed through RealSystem G2</p>
  242. <p>SAN FRANCISCO, CA - December 8, 1998 - OZ.COM (formerly OZ Interactive), a<br />
  243. pioneering provider of visual and interactive real-time communication<br />
  244. products, today announced Fluid3D(TM) -- a visual communications system for<br />
  245. the development and deployment of broadcast-quality, streaming 3D animation<br />
  246. across the Internet. Fluid3D is integrated with RealNetworks (NASDAQ:RNWK)<br />
  247. RealPlayer(TM) G2 and is the first new media type that enables streaming<br />
  248. broadcast of 3D computer animation over the Web within RealPlayer.</p>
  249. <p>Professional digital artists and publishers can now deliver real-time 3D<br />
  250. animation to millions of RealPlayer-enabled Websurfers at connection speeds<br />
  251. as low as 28.8 Kbps -- with the quality and performance typically<br />
  252. associated with high-end professional broadcasting. Installing Fluid3D<br />
  253. support into the standard (free) version of the G2 player requires only a<br />
  254. small, one-time download (350 Kb) that can be installed and used<br />
  255. immediately, without restarting the computer or browser.</p>
  256. <p>Breaking the Bandwidth Barrier for Web 3D</p>
  257. <p>To-date, the delivery of 3D animation over the Web has been severely<br />
  258. limited by the 'Watch and Wait' phenomenon associated with previous Web 3D<br />
  259. technologies, where viewers must first download a segment in its entirety<br />
  260. before playback can commence. Fluid3D eliminates this step entirely by<br />
  261. incorporating a revolutionary compression scheme for animation data that is<br />
  262. optimized for streaming delivery over low-bandwidth connections. Combined<br />
  263. with SMIL-based media type synchronization provided by RealSystem G2,<br />
  264. long-form 3D animation with perfectly synchronized RealAudio is now a<br />
  265. reality.</p>
  266. <p>"With Fluid3D, OZ has created a broadcast animation system that brings the<br />
  267. creativity and technical wizardry of professional 3D animators to Web<br />
  268. audiences for the first time," said Skuli Mogensen, CEO of OZ.COM. "Digital<br />
  269. artists and publishers can now truly consider the Internet an effective<br />
  270. medium for computer animated content. Through our agreement with<br />
  271. RealNetworks, animators also have the best option for getting their content<br />
  272. seen by the 38 million registered users of RealPlayer."</p>
  273. <p>3D Content Creation Using Existing Tools</p>
  274. <p>Unlike other products that require digital artists to learn new tools for<br />
  275. the creation of Web content, Fluid3D enables professional animators to use<br />
  276. industry-standard 3D authoring tools. This effectively shortens the<br />
  277. production path and leverages existing digital content that can now be<br />
  278. easily re-purposed for the Internet. Fluid3D allows digital artists to<br />
  279. create content using Kinetix 3D Studio MAX(R), the popular authoring tool<br />
  280. for real-time games such as Tombraider, and Avid SOFTIMAGE|3D(TM), used to<br />
  281. create visual effects in recent Hollywood blockbusters such as Titanic,<br />
  282. Starship Troopers, and Jurassic Park. Support for other leading authoring<br />
  283. tools and formats will follow in the coming weeks. Fluid3D Content<br />
  284. Exporters enable 3D animation created in these applications to be saved<br />
  285. directly to Fluid3D's binary file format, which is optimized for streaming<br />
  286. delivery. Support for the conversion of VRML 2.0 models as well as NewTek<br />
  287. LightWave 3D(TM) and Alias/Wavefront Maya(TM) formats are currently in<br />
  288. development.</p>
  289. <p>Fluid3D Extends RealSystem G2</p>
  290. <p>The relationship between OZ.COM and RealNetworks has resulted in the<br />
  291. seamless integration of OZ' Fluid3D broadcast animation system with<br />
  292. RealSystem G2. Today, RealPlayer is used by an estimated 38 million people<br />
  293. and RealNetworks streaming media solutions deliver over 85% of all<br />
  294. streaming media content on the Internet. "Fluid 3D support is a wonderful<br />
  295. addition for RealPlayer G2 because it gives users an opportunity to<br />
  296. experience rich 3D animation online " said Len Jordan, senior vice<br />
  297. president, Media Systems, RealNetworks, Inc. "Once people witness the<br />
  298. caliber of content Fluid3D and RealPlayer G2 enable on the Internet, we<br />
  299. believe streaming 3D animation will be poised for tremendous success.<br />
  300. Fluid3D delivers high-quality 3D animation with ease of creation - this is<br />
  301. a real win for our customers and for 3D on the Net."</p>
  302. <p>Unique Compression Technology Enables Protection of Intellectual Property<br />
  303. OZ' Anim-X(TM) CODEC, a unique and proprietary technology for the<br />
  304. compression and optimization of animation data for real-time delivery over<br />
  305. IP networks, is the key enabling technology in Fluid3D. It allows rich<br />
  306. animation to be streamed over low-bandwidth connections, requiring less<br />
  307. than 4 kilobits per second to deliver a complex animated digital scene over<br />
  308. the Internet. With 33.6 kbps connections or higher, multiple characters and<br />
  309. objects can be animated simultaneously due to the high compression ratio of<br />
  310. the Anim-X CODEC.</p>
  311. <p>Fluid3D also utilizes a highly compressed binary format for storing the<br />
  312. geometry and textures needed to render 3D in real-time on a PC. This<br />
  313. proprietary file format incorporates unique compression technology that<br />
  314. delivers approximately seven times the compression of GZIP, the most common<br />
  315. compression method used for 3D data on the Internet today. Factoring both<br />
  316. the compressed geometry format and textures, typical Fluid3D content is<br />
  317. approximately 50-75% smaller than identical content delivered in existing<br />
  318. 3D file formats.</p>
  319. <p>This combination of a highly efficient animation CODEC with a closed binary<br />
  320. file format affords unique protection for content publishers. By keeping<br />
  321. animation data on the server, where it is streamed as needed, and by<br />
  322. storing the 3D content on the viewer's system in a binary format that<br />
  323. cannot be easily altered or manipulated - Fluid3D effectively protects<br />
  324. publishers' copyright-protected content and intellectual property from<br />
  325. inappropriate or illegal use.</p>
  326. <p>Fluid3D Specifications & System Overview</p>
  327. <p>The Fluid3D system consists of three distinct components for the playback,<br />
