Digimation ships Stitch Lite for 3ds max

New Orleans, LA (Feb. 03, 2003) -- Digimation announced today the immediate availability of Stitch Lite the powerful new cloth simulation plug-in for 3ds max. Stitch Lite makes the world's best cloth simulation engine available for 3ds max users at the affordable price of $195.

"Stitch Lite makes the tremendously useful cloth simulation engine in Stitch available for 3ds max users at a much lower price point," said David Avgikos, President of Digimation. "Stitch is one of our most widely used plug-ins however, the garment maker, which is quite unique to Stitch is tailored to address a specialized need. Stitch Lite offers the cloth simulation engine as a stand-alone product making it a viable investment for anyone who uses 3ds max."

Stitch Lite is a quick and practical solution for one of the most challenging of all animation tasks - the creation and animation of realistic cloth. Stitch Lite can handle it all, from stretchy rubber to more sophisticated fabrics like heavy cotton, silks and canvas. Stitch Lite makes it easy to apply dynamic secondary motions to cloth by adding Wind and Gravity Space Warps. This tight integration allows your fabrics to flow, fold, bunch and gather just as you would expect it to as your characters and objects move. Stitch Lite also fully supports cloth-to-cloth conversions for more complex simulations.

These members of the 3ds max community have put the Stitch cloth simulation engine to the test.

"Stitch is both powerful and easy to use," says Aaron Powell of Blur Studios. "For Blur, Stitch came right when we needed it most. We were working on a major ride film that had a bunch of super heroes/villains that of course have capes and flowing outfits, and Stitch performed beautifully."

Andy Murdock, of Lots of Robots, found Stitch ready to go without even reading the manual. "All the parameters make perfect sense, and I am able to do almost any simulation I need with straight forward preparation. Stitch is faster, has a ton of features and is extremely stable."

Big Huge Games' Rob Cloutier found that Stitch exceeded his expectations. "It absolutely blows away other cloth sims that I have used, not to mention it is very intuitive. Digimation has really stepped up to the plate and Stitch has more than filled a critical gap in the max market."

Platform Stitch Lite is compatible with 3ds max 4.x and 5.x and Stitch
