Turbo Squid announces rtre from Cubicspace as latest Discreet Certified 3ds max Plug-in (New Orleans, LA – January 9, 2004) - Turbo Squid, home of the world’s largest collection of royalty-free 3D assets for sale, today announced the release of rtre™, from CubicspaceÒ, as the newest tool in the DiscreetÒ Certified 3ds maxä Plug-in program. rtre is the most comprehensive interactive rendering solution available for professional 3ds max users, students, and academic institutions. rtre is already in use by some of the World's leading commercial groups including Foster & Partners, ASDA/Wal*Mart, Helmuth, Obata + Kassabaum (HOK), Corus, British Airports Authority (BAA), SAS, Jarvis, RMJM, Parkman, Telenor Expo, The Jerde Partnership and Toxic Design Studio to name a few. rtre is a suite of plug-ins and stand-alone tools that enables integrated real time rendering of very complex 3D scenes. Specifically designed to accommodate the complexity of realistic architectural models and game level design conceptualizations, rtre uses Cubicspace’s own highly sophisticated and advanced rendering engine to deliver a massive performance increase over existing technology. It is able to render millions of polygons in fractions of a second rather than the standard minutes or hours, letting users navigate their most complex scenes smoothly and freely at 30 frames per second. Scene data may also be output as images, video or published into freely distributable interactive scenes requiring no separate client viewer. “rtre absolutely delivers when it comes to speed and reliable output right inside the 3ds max interface,” states Beau Perschall, Vice President of Publishing at Turbo Squid. “It is amazing to be able to move through highly complex environments in real-time! I’m excited about the technology that Cubicspace brings to the DCP program and what it’s going to mean for the design/visualization and game creation fields. It’s a product that must be seen to be believed.” “Having an industry proven technology like rtre in the DCP program further validates the goals of our partnership with Turbo Squid and our commitment to the 3ds max community,” noted Chris Ford, Director of Product Management - Animation Products, Discreet. “Whenever you can tell users that you’ve gotten a tool that was rated 10 out of 10 then it’s a win for everyone. We’re thrilled that Cubicspace is part of the program.” Pricing and availability rtre has a suggested retail price (SRP) of US $1695, with an introductory special of $995 (€787; ₤547) for a limited time. rtre is available from Turbo Squid at www.turbosquid.com/dcpstore, from Discreet at http://www.discreet.com/products/3dsmax/dcp or from authorized Resellers around the world.
