"Anark represents a new breed of tools for aggregating 3D and multimedia content in exciting, dynamic and interactive ways," said Joe Klingler, vice president of software at Discreet. "By partnering with Discreet, Anark is able to closely integrate content from plasma allowing 3D artists to use Discreet's powerful 3D tools and deliver content using Anark Studio." Plasma software is based on Discreet's professional 3ds max software package for modeling, animation and rendering technology--but created specifically with a Web designer-centric user interface, tool access and workflow. While the Anark Studio bundle includes plasma, both plasma and 3ds max files can be integrated into Anark Studio presentations, based on varying capabilities of 3D creation. Artists can build real-time, optimized 3D models with the robust production-proven modeling tools in plasma and integrate these models into captivating multimedia presentations using Anark Studio's intuitive interactive authoring environment. "This partnership significantly drives down the typical product cost and enhances the ability of multimedia developers to easily create striking, real-time 3D presentations," said Stephen Collins
