Animotion is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of The Archictectural 3D Toolkit CDROM! This CDROM was designed to help professionals in the AEC and related fields get up and running with 3D Studio as quickly as possible. It contains many great items including: Highly detailed 3D Objects Tileable, seamless texture maps Sample images and animations Lots of educational materials Bundled software for multimedia production Animotion is interested in soliciting contributions from AEC individuals using 3D Studio for inclusion on the CDROM. If you have architectural images, flics or animations on tape, we would love to include them as a source of inspiration. Along with each image, there will be a paragraph or two of background text on the project and the firm that created it. We also need high quality 3D Objects. These can be: 1) interior items like furniture, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, etc. 2) Exterior items like signage, lighting, people & shrubs/trees mapped to polygons, etc. One last item: Tips From the Experts. I need verbage from architects describing principles and issues surrounding the successful use of computer 3D graphics as a presentation tool. Reimubursement for contribution will range from discounts on the CDROM, to a free CDROM, to royalty fees based on distribution. Please call me via voice or respond here for further discussion. I look forward to hearing from you! Rich Barnett Animotion Voice 714.366.1982

I've a few customers that may have the right stuff! Can you give us some hints on when you plan to be done? What about the cost of such a CD? Finnaly, do you have plans to sell this through the Autodesk MM dealers? I spend tons of time selling, and would be interested in some sort of a deal… Dr Pixel (of NW Tech)

The CD is tentatively scheduled for a November 1st ship date. We believe the price will be Retail $395.00. I don't believe that it will be distributed through dealers, just because I'm a small outfit, and I don't think I have the time to support a large distribution network. That's not a firm decision though, so I am certainly open to suggestions. If you have a client with objects, please share more info with me! I already have about 75 really great objects created, but would certainly like to add even more value to the CD. -Rich Barnett Animotion
