Realsoft 4D is designed to meet the requirements of today's 3D artist who requires extreme performance through an easy to use, productive user interface. Some of its highlights include:

• Completely new intelligent and easy-to-use User Interface.
• Full featured NURBS modeler
• Extremely powerful particle system
• Comprehensive tools for Subdivision surfaces
• Full featured Solid Modeling system supporting both BRT and CSG models.
• Completely 64 bit renderer for the best quality ever.
• Full featured extremely powerful 3D painting system.
• Advanced Choreography animation system.
• Full featured simulation system featuring collision detection, gravity, magnetism and much more.
• Visual Shading Language that allows the user to define very complex shading effects without writing a single line of code.
• Full support for multi-threading and symmetric multiprocessing
• Support for real time rendering through OpenGL.
• Distributed Network Rendering
• Revolutionary Dynamic Channel System.
• Tools for true 3D Composition
• GUI Development System based on drag & drop.
• 100% open and platform independent development interface that provides 3rd party companies with total control over every feature.

The BeOS version of Realsoft 4D will be based on the same platform independent source code as the PC version, so the user interface will be nearly identical.

"Realsoft 4D's built-in multi-threading and symmetric multiprocessing design make it an ideal application for the BeOS." said John Fehr, chief executive officer of Wildcard Design, Inc. "Customers with single CPU's should expect rendering times similar to the PC versions, but with much better response, while customers with multiple CPU's will see their rendering times shrink dramatically."

"We're excited about having our latest 3D software technology on the BeOS." says Vesa Meskanen, vice president of marketing at Realsoft Oy. "This will allow us to make full use of high end multiple CPU workstations."

"Realsoft 4D looks to be an unmatched modeling and rendering application. Its sophisticated feature set should blaze on the BeOS," says Tim Self, vice president of developer relations at Be, Incorporated. "Wildcard Design is the obvious choice for porting to the BeOS and squeezing the maximum performance out of such a brilliant product."

Wildcard Design expects to ship the BeOS version of Realsoft 4D in Q3, 1999. Pricing will be similar to the PC version.

With a team of industry leading engineers and business executives in the United States and Europe, the company is dedicated to removing the limitations of existing computer architectures and delivering a new level of price performance on both personal computers and Internet appliances. In 1997 Be(r) published the first public release of the Be Operating System (BeOS(r)), the core product of this strategy. Additional information on Be and the BeOS is available online at http://www.be.com/. Be, Inc is headquartered in Menlo Park, CA.

Realsoft Oy, founded in 1989, is a Finnish software company specialized in developing software products for 3D computer graphics. Real 3D, their first product, was famous for its powerful and innovative tools: it was the first 3D program to bring a particle animation system to desktop platforms. Realsoft's latest 3D software technology 'Realsoft 4D' continues the same strategy, bringing advanced high end 3D techniques within the reach of all 3D users.
