So what's this I hear that Make Art Pro is going to explore a new capability of IPAS MAX and be the first IPAS to charge by the hour? SCL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 25, 1995. SALSA LITO, CA. Digitalis, Inc. announces a mind-numbing upgrade to thier existing "Instant Artist" plug-in. The new upgrade is entirely re-architected to work with Autodesk's revolutionary 3DS MAX animation software. The upgrade, scheduled for shipment first quarter of '96, is tenatively titled "Make Art Pro". The tentative feature list includes: * Settings for "Creativity" and "Inginuity" * All new "Morph to Art" option, featuring Sticky Mapping (TM). * Settings for "Maximum Talent" and "Mass Appeal" * Special *hourly* pricing. * Support for rendering to fields. The plug-in ships with a propietary keypad which can be conveniently clipped to an Enhanced 101 keyboard. The keypad plugs into a full-length PCI hardware adapter (may require special riser, available from Digital Propping Systems). The keypad features a single button, subtly labelled "Mark Art". Once the user has adjusted the settings to their liking, a simple stroke of the Mark Art button initializes the plug-in. When rendering is complete, a fantasic work of art is ready for the public eye. Now in alpha testing, the final version of MakeArt Pro is expected to ship with a flip-up security cap for the Make Art button (located on the included keypad) to prevent unauthorized or accidental operation of the Make Art plug-in. Digitalis has not yet announced pricing, however, a special migration offer is expected to be announced prior to release. – – – Notes/Disclaimers: Names bearing resemblence to well-known and respected companies are purely coincidental. All trademarks are property of their respective companies. Special thanks to forum member Lee Steel for alpha testing efforts and excellent contributions to the feature list.

<ROFL>; you _must_ have too much time on your hands! But does the beta for Alphas support delta compression of gamma? And don't forget that phone support is only $4.99 a minute, by calling 1-976-HOT-IPAS, as featured on late-nite TV near you. (Discreetly billed.) SCL

We've set up a 900 number with carefully selected (sexy voiced) females to answer all your questions. Note that we had originally intended to call this IPAS "Artsey Fartsey Tools" but we didn't want to step on any toes a Xaos. "We are not about sales, we are about ART!"

Nahh. I just realized that we've heard alot about the IPAS but we haven't seen the official announcment. BTW, rumor has it that the Euro version will include pictures of pubs and churches where the page numbers usually are located. — James — Choreo Motion —
