Posted by: amigo

 Date: Thu Oct 16 2003
New Orleans, LA - October 16, 2003 - Turbo Squid, the world's fastest growing online digital marketplace, today announced that all Discreet Certified 3ds max Plug-ins have been re-engineered to work with Discreet's revolutionary new 3ds max 6.

In addition, all registered users of Discreet Certified 3ds max Plug-ins will receive an email instructing them how to upgrade current DCP products to work with Discreet's 3ds max 6 software. These products will be downwardly compatible with 3ds max 4 and 5, as well as Autodesk� VIZ 4. DCP Project generated in 3ds max 4 and 5 may be loaded into 3ds max 6 once this patch is installed. Other users may contact [email protected] for information.

"One of the many benefits of the DCP program is that 3ds max users are able to upgrade to the latest version as soon as it is released, without having to wait for their plug-in products to be re-tooled," noted Beau Perschall, Vice President of Publishing at Turbo Squid. "Discreet has worked very hard with Turbo Squid and our development partners to make sure we were able to provide all of the DCP plug-in updates in concert with the launch of 3ds max 6. What's more, users will be able to get the updates at no charge. This is a tremendous step forward in integrating these vital software products for the end user and should provide them with an additional sense of security regarding their investment in DCP products."

"Turbo Squid has done an outstanding job ensuring that all Discreet Certified Plug-in products will be available for 3ds max 6 by its release," says Michael S. Lee, Partner Program Manager for Discreet. "The ability for customers to instantly download plug-in upgrades, online, and at no additional cost is a tremendous value to 3ds max 6 customers."

Turbo Squid now offers eight Discreet Certified 3ds max Plug-ins: finalRender Stage-1 and finalToon, from Cebas, AfterBurn3 and DreamScape2, from Sitni Sati, Absolute Character Tools V1.6, from CgCharacter, Kaldara from Mankua, and HumanIK, from Kaydara. The other DCP is the Turbo Toolkit, a collection of eight DCPs at a heavily discounted price of only $1695.

Turbo Squid expects to announce two new DCPs in November. All DCPs are available from Turbo Squid at www.turbosquid.com/dcpstore, from Discreet at http://www.discreet.com/products/3dsmax/dcp or from authorized Resellers around the world. For a Reseller near you, contact [email protected]
