Revolutionary new suite of Character tools includes cgHuman, a complete human skeletal, muscle and skin character set - all rigged and ready to animate.

New Orleans, LA-January 31, 2003- Turbo Squid (New Orleans, LA), the world's premier marketplace for on-line digital assets, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive worldwide distribution partnership with Snoswell Design for Absolute Character Tools (ACT) Pro version 1.6. ACT-Pro is a complete suite of tools for creating the most realistic character modeling and animation possible.

"ACT was created because I wanted to do better character animation- the best character animation ever in fact," notes Mark Snoswell, President of Snoswell Designs. "ACT-Pro 1.6 has achieved that status."

ACT-Pro is an exceptionally fast and stable production platform that offers a wide range of significant character modeling and animation features found nowhere else. In addition to cgMuscle objects, ACT-Pro also now includes tools and objects (cgTubes) to create high quality skinned proxy characters that deform and animate in real time.

With v 1.6, ACT-Pro now includes cgHuman - a complete human skeletal, muscle and skin character set -- all rigged and ready to animate. For ACT users cgHuman is the most advanced example of realistic musculo-skeletal system designed to easily animate and behave well for character animation and sub-skin deformation.

"ACT-Pro v1.6 is a truly professional strength product," notes Beau Perschall, Vice President of Publishing for Turbo Squid. "It brings very high-end power to the masses, and gives artists more creative freedom in their character animation."

"Turbo Squid has an outstanding reputation for service and support within the 3D community," said Snosswell. "We are happy to have them as our exclusive distribution partner."

ACT-Pro V 1.6 sells for $895, with an introductory price of $645 until March 1, 2003. ACT-Pro V 1.6 is available from www.turbosquid.com, or from any of Turbo Squid's Resellers around the world.
