 Reflex Systems Announces Reflex|DRAMA Posted by: amigo

Date: Thu Mar 20 2003
Montreal, CANADA � March 19th 2003 � For immediate release � Reflex Systems Inc announced today the release of the REFLEX|DRAMA v.1.0 system, the first offering of its family of 3D human generation products.
Reflex|DRAMA is the industry's first resolution-independent human modeling and animation system. Users can now design humans once (using the patent-pending Reflex|DNA) and change the resolution on the fly to produce 3D humans, tailored to their needs and requirements. Reflex|DRAMA was designed for users who need a scaleable solution that can address the low to medium-resolution required for games, while still being able to go super-hi-resolution for film and TV work.
Reflex|DRAMA is a new class of 3D animation software based on a musculo-skeleton approach, which is a simulated assembly of volumes and tissues representing all the major layers of the human body. Reflex|DRAMA musculo-skeleton layers include bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, fat and skin.
To model a new Human being, users simply need to modify the internal layers (ex: bone warping, bone scaling, muscle bulging, fat injection, etc.) and prompt the system to update the external skin, based on the new layer information. Changes in the musculo-skeleton are saved into a format called Reflex|DNA and can be reapplied to any human in a 3D scene.
The patent-pending Reflex|DNA sequencing technology is the fastest ways to design humans with realism. Every change made by users is automatically recorded as they work, resulting in the electronic version of a real DNA: a faithful recording of what makes an individual truly unique! Users do not need to know anything about the human anatomy and everything is visual, interactive and mouse-driven.
ReflexDRAMA was developed with direct input from leading special FX and game companies to address long standing issues:
- Resolution independence - Design once and deploy at any resolution in NURBS or polygon meshes.
- Speed of design - Considerably reduces the time that it takes to generate human characters.
- Openness - Includes an SDK to generate a large number of different human models at various resolutions and automatically assign motion files to them.
- Simplicity - Eliminates the need for IK setups and manual vertex weighting and assignments.
- Compatibility - Compatible with existing 3D animation software. The outside skin can be exported using different file formats.
Pricing and availability
The REFLEX|DRAMA software is available immediately from authorized resellers. Suggested retail price is set at $11,990 per node-locked and floating license. For further information please visit the Reflex Systems website at www.reflexsystems.com .
