San Diego, CA - July 28, 2003 - Turbo Squid, the exclusive publisher and worldwide distributor of the Discreet� Certified 3ds max� Plug-in Program, today announced the release of Turbo Toolkit, a suite of eight premium Discreet� Certified 3ds max Plug-ins in a single product.
When purchased separately the products sell for nearly $4000 US. The Turbo Toolkit is being offered for $1695 US until Aug. 31, 2003.
"To celebrate Turbo Squid's third anniversary, we wanted to offer our customers a unique opportunity", said Dan Lion, VP of Sales and Marketing at Turbo Squid. "The Turbo Toolkit is just that - eight premium tools for a fraction of their individual prices."
The Turbo Toolkit includes the following Discreet 3ds max Certified Plug-ins:
finalRender, Stage-1, from cebas Computer GmbH
finalRender stage-1 is a revolutionary new 64-bit ready rendering solution with unlimited network rendering, 10 CPU distributed rendering, global illumination, true 3d motion blur, Sub-Surface Scattering, and nine camera types to name just a few of the many features.
AfterBurn3, from Sitni Sati
This is the de facto standard particle effects solution that enables rendering of realistic effects ranging from clouds, pyroclastic smoke, dust, and explosions, to liquid metals, water and various procedurally defined "solid" objects.
DreamScape2, from Sitni Sati
DreamScape 2.0 is a tightly integrated suite of modeling and animation tools for building complete environments including mountainous landscapes, realistic skies, and bodies of water.
HumanIK from Kaydara
>From the folks who brought you MOTIONBUILDER comes this amazing set of character animation and rigging tools. Drag out a fully rigged skeleton with ease and make your characters walk, run, and jump in minutes. Transfer motion capture files and re-target motions from one character to another in seconds.
Kaldera, from Mankua
Kaldera is a plug-in that lets users render full scene information into special texture maps based on an object's appearance and relationship between itself and other objects in the scene. These texture maps are then "baked" into the object; that is, they become part of the object via mapping, and can be used to display the textured object rapidly on Direct3D devices such as graphics display cards or game engines.
ACT 1.6 PRO, from cgCharacter
ACT is the world's finest muscle and skin system available. It enables animators to create realistic character animation with ease and speed. ACT also includes cgAdam and cgEve, two complete human skeletal, muscle and skin character sets - all rigged and ready to animate.
finalToon, from cebas Computer GmbH
finalToon doubles as both a cartoon renderer and a technical illustrator. This true line renderer is packed with features and line types that deliver anti-aliased quality with unparalleled speed.
Texture Layers, from Mankua
Texture Layers is a mapping and texturing suite composed of two different 3ds max plug-ins. One is an "all-in-one" UVW Mapping layering tool and the other is a powerful Compositor Map material for material blending between mapping layers.

Turbo Toolkit has a promotional suggested retail price (SRP) in North America of US $1695 until Aug. 31, 2003.
