If you can take in the feature film StarGate with Kurt Russle and
James Spader (and Jay Davison), and you think the Mask/Body Armor
effects are cool…they were done with Elastic Reality.
The "Jig Saw" mode in our Windows (and SGI) versions was specificly
developed in support of the creation of this film. One of the
examples of how our cooperation with Hollywood studios benefits
desktop users.

Perry,
Any time I see some morphing or warping in movies or TV shows, I automatically
assume they used ER. Thanks for confirming ER's use in STARGATE.

The morphing in StarGate is especially cool. There's "traditional" morphing
going on in their faces while there are "mechanical" morphing effects going on
in the masks. Mask sections appear to telescope into other sections as they
collapse into the amulet worn around the neck. The mechanical aspects of the
effect are the result of the "Jig Saw" mode we added to the product
specifically to allow that to happen.
