Anark Announces New Anark Model Exchange File Format and Plug-Ins For Discreet's 3ds max and Plasma

Anark Studio Now Offers Seamless, Reliable Importation of Complex 3D Models

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Anark(R) Corporation today announced that it has released the new Anark Model Exchange format for 3D content integration into its award-winning multimedia authoring software, Anark Studio(TM). Export plug-ins are available with the Anark Studio 1.5.2 update for Discreet's 3ds max(TM) and Plasma(TM) with additional versions to be released on the Anark website ( http://www.anark.com/ ). Once installed, the plug-in allows 3D artists to easily export scenes into an Anark Model Exchange (AMX) file with full retention of complex 3D data, making for a more productive work environment and higher quality output.

The launch of Anark's new file format and exporters ensures superior integration with 3D modeling tools, allowing content creators to further surpass the boundaries of traditional multimedia using Anark Studio.

"The addition of the new plug-ins to Anark Studio has made a revolutionary authoring tool even better," said Eric Morin, a professional multimedia developer and director of content development for Anark. "We now have the ability to create precise models in 3ds max incorporating highly complex object, groups and hierarchy and once in Anark Studio the object positions appear exactly as we originally created them. Most importantly, basic materials import virtually identical and we can create captivating 3D, interactive presentations for our clients much easier than ever before."

Anark Studio's authoring experience is focused on the creative process, giving artists and multimedia developers a remarkably flexible and creative working environment. Users can be productive immediately based on the software's familiar and easy to use authoring interface, and now with the addition of the AMX plug-in, geometry, materials, and object hierarchies are seamlessly imported into their presentations.

"Anark prides itself on empowering artists to create the most complex and visually appealing 3D, interactive content available," said Justin Ebert, senior VP of product development for Anark. "With the launch of Anark Studio 1.5.2 and the AMX plug-in technology, we've gone a step further and eased the creation process substantially for the wealth of users who incorporate 3D modeling tools into their toolset."

In addition to improving the workflow between Anark and leading 3D modeling packages, the updated Anark Studio 1.5.2 adds the ability to play Anark content within the Windows Media 9 Series Player and SCORM conformance to its lengthy feature list. In the future, the AMX plug-in's flexibility will enable Anark Studio to support a wide variety of industry standard 3D modeling programs. Additionally, new export plug-ins for other 3D applications will be made available on Anark's website and a licensing program for 3D application builders will be forthcoming.
