NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 1999--

Award-Winning 2D and 3D Digital Tools and Streaming Technology

for Revolutionizing the Web Experience

-- MetaStream: Poised to become the de facto standard for streaming

3D on the Internet, MetaStream lets anyone see and manipulate 3D

objects across the Web, regardless of connection or desktop

processor speeds. Zoom in and out for a better look, pan across

and rotate objects for close inspection, even adjust the

resolution of 3D objects for greater detail or faster viewing. Be

one of the first to see the Macintosh MetaStream beta browser

plug-in and find out how to create MetaStream content for Web

sites right away! -- Poser 4: Brand-new from MetaCreations, Poser 4 introduces

professional-level character posing and animation features such

as character customization via "closets" full of clothing, and

head to toe figure "sculpting" with next generation animated

deformers. More detailed and varied human and animal models, such

advanced texture controls as transparency and reflectivity, and

enhanced Web functionality gives 2D and 3D artists, designers,

animators and Web content creators an unprecedented toolset for

effectively and easily adding posed and animated human and animal

figures to work. -- Canoma: The revolutionary software that allows Web content

developers and graphic artists to quickly and easily create

photo-realistic 3D models from 2D photos or scanned images. Ideal

for e-commerce, architecture, previsualization and more, Canoma

scenes and models can be posted on Web sites, used in electronic

catalogs, imported into traditional 3D modeling and animation

packages or combined with MetaCreations' MetaStream 3D streaming

technology to provide a complete solution for creating 3D models

and distributing them via the Web. -- Bryce 4: Bryce 4 gives professionals and hobbyists alike amazing 

new tools for incredibly realistic landscape creation and

animation. Bryce 4 also provides many new ways to publish and

share your Bryce artwork on the Web. Export textured terrains to

MetaStream to let anyone on the Web inspect them, with full

zooming and panning around capabilities. Export Bryce animations

to the Web via QuickTime or RealMovie formats. Create amazing

QTVR panoramas all within Bryce, without the need for expensive

QTVR authoring tools. Embed HTML links into Bryce objects, and

create incredible Web pages using Bryce scenes.
