DI-O-MATICS MORPH TOOLKIT HONORED WITH ANIMATION MAGAZINES SEAL OF EXCELLENCE AWARD

Montreal, Qc - October 28, 2002 -- Di-O-Matic is pleased to announce that for the second time in 2002, it has been chosen to receive the Seal of Excellence award from Animation Magazine. Morph ToolKit is the latest plug-in product for Discreets 3ds max platform that has received this honor.

This powerful collection of character tools was designed originally to help both modelers and technical directors create morph targets for their creations as well as to assist them in integrating the morph animation into their production pipeline.

While it was no surprise that Morph ToolKit would be well received by the industry, Di-O-Matic was inspired after this second award. It is certainly a huge honor to have Morph ToolKit recognized by such a long standing and respected publication as Animation Magazine," said Laurent M. Abecassis, Product Manager for Di-O-Matic, and coming so soon after Facial Studio received this same award in June just motivates our team to produce even more incredible tools for character animators using 3ds max. Stay tuned as more information will be posted soon on our website about a new revolutionary tool that we are cooking up right now."
