For Immediate Release New 3D vector plug-in will enable Carrara Studio 2 users to render 3D animations to the Macromedia® Flash™ (SWF) file format, as well as other popular vector file types

Mountain View, California — August 19, 2002 - Today Eovia Corporation announced the release of VectorStyle, an advanced 3D vector rendering plug-in for Carrara Studio 2. VectorStyle uses Electric Rain's industry-leading RAViX II technology, enabling Carrara Studio 2 users to turn their 3D scenes into scalable vector-based animations that can be published seamlessly to the Web. VectorStyle provides the well-established user base of Carrara Studio 2 with an advanced solution for repurposing their 3D content to a Web friendly format.

"Flash is not only a very efficient web-oriented media, it's also a completely new way to render and publish 3D graphics in a style that has proven to be exceptionally popular," said Antoine Clappier, CEO of Eovia. "Used in connection with Carrara Studio 2, VectorStyle also fills the gap between 3D imagery and vector graphics by exporting high-quality 3D renderings to EPS and Illustrator formats."

Working as a plug-in for Carrara Studio 2, VectorStyle uses Electric Rain's proprietary RAViX II vector technology to render 3D scenes with complete accuracy, while staying true to colors, lighting, camera views and animations. VectorStyle provides Carrara Studio 2 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.

"We're very excited to see our RAViX II technology adding functionality to an already powerful 3D application like Carrara Studio 2," said Mike Soucie, President of Electric Rain, Inc. "This union of Electric Rain's premier 3D-to-vector technology and Eovia's already popular 3D modeling and animating application will only strengthen Carrara Studio's position as a leading 3D authoring and publishing solution."
