Cult3D® Animation available for BeOS® Platform

Comdex, Las Vegas, Nevada - November 14, 1998 -- Cycore Computers, Sweden-based developer of special effects software solutions for the film and computer industries, today announced that Cult3D Animation, the industry's first software-only, real-time 3D rendering engine, is now compatible with the BeOS platform. Cult3D automatically generates Java code, allowing designers with little or no programming experience to create complex animations that can be downloaded in real-time by even low-bandwidth systems, including 28.8 modems.

Cult3D Animation is a technological breakthrough that will dramatically change the whole way of using the Internet. Cult3D Animation lets users create fully functional "Virtual Products" that can be tried out on the Web, and lets scientists create complex interactive simulations that can be shared online for educational purpose. Cult3D is a real-time, software only, multi-platform 3D-rendering engine. Cult3D Animation allows fully animated 3D scenes from simple objects to advanced sequences of motions. With built-in compression and streaming, the Cult3D Animation file format is small and efficient. This results in faster downloads and progressive viewing.

"For a technology like Cult3D, BeOS is a fresh and powerful operating system. Cult3D Animation and BeOS represent a perfect fit for the good of Internet users," said CEO Jerry Petterson.

"Cycore Computers is a perfect partner in the content creation and animation world," says Christophe Droulers, Director Developer Relations Europe, "moving to the BeOS is great news for creators of interactive 3D-scenes with sound, which can be incorporated into any HTML page."

The BeOS and Cult3D technology will be shown at Comdex Fall in Las Vegas, November 16 through 20 on Be, Incorporated's booth (S7114).
