Boulder, CO - August 9, 2001 - Today Electric Rain, Inc.® announced the signing of an agreement to license their proprietary RAViX II™ vector rendering technology to Strata, makers of Strata 3Dpro™, the popular modeling and animation software application. RAViX II will provide a future release of Strata 3Dpro with the power to export to Macromedia® Flash™ (SWF), Adobe® Illustrator® (AI), EPS, and the latest XML-based vector format, SVG.

"We're very excited to see our RAViX II technology adding functionality to an already powerful 3D application like Strata 3Dpro," said Mike Soucie, President of Electric Rain, Inc. "Strata 3Dpro users will soon be able to broaden their publishing horizons by repurposing their 3D content to the Web-friendly SWF file format. This union of Electric Rain's premier 3D-to-vector technology and Strata's powerful modeling and animating environment is going to solidify Strata 3Dpro's position as a leading 3D authoring and publishing solution."

Working as a Strata 3Dpro Power Module, RAViX II will render Strata 3Dpro scenes with complete accuracy, while staying true to colors, lighting, camera views and animations. RAViX II will provide Strata 3Dpro users with an extensive array of vector output options including 3 levels of outlines, 5 levels of cartoon shading, 2 levels of gradient shading, shadows and specular highlights. RAViX II is able to handle models containing well over 200,000 polygons and the resulting files are fully optimized.

"We're immensely pleased to be able to provide our users with Flash export and other formats that Electric Rain gives us," commented Strata President, Dennis Derrick. "Most Strata users are closely involved in creating engaging content for the web or print and we know they'll be excited to use RAViX II, which is the best vector rendering technology in the business. Folding in the RAViX II renderer is going to take Strata 3Dpro to the next level in terms of web-content creation. Clearly, this is a pivotal development for our product strategy."

The agreement with Strata marks the first time that the RAViX II technology has been integrated into a 3rd party application via a licensing contract. Through this agreement, Electric Rain's brands and technology will be promoted to the rapidly growing community of Strata 3D software applications around the world, paving the way for similar licensing deals in the future.
