Los Angeles, CA - August 10, 2004 � At the Siggraph 2004 convention, SplutterFish, LLC, a leading high-end 3D rendering software solutions provider today announced it has entered into a strategic licensing agreement with Robert McNeel and Associates, developers and publishers of software tools for product and industrial designers to integrate SplutterFish's award-winning Brazil Rendering System�� (Brazil r/s) 2.0 rendering engine into McNeel's popular Rhinoceros�� (Rhino) design and modeling solution. Brazil r/s's industry-proven reputation in the broadcast and postproduction content creation environments is well known. This agreement will leverage the expertise of two software leaders to extend the value of the powerful rendering solution to customers in design areas including industrial, marine, jewelry design, graphics, multimedia and CAD/CAM, broadening its operating system and platform reach.
"This first licensing agreement marks a milestone for SplutterFish," explains Scott Kirvan, CEO of SplutterFish. "We have distilled and tuned our proven core rendering technology into a robust, powerful engine API that now can be used to easily integrate Brazil r/s into various platforms and operating systems. Our decision to provide McNeel with the first fruits of this labor was an easy choice, not only because of the huge demand we've had from Rhino users, but also because of the demonstrated motivation of the great development team at McNeel. After just a few days of coding collaboration, we could see Rhino rendering with Brazil r/s. It was truly fun and exciting!"
"Brazil r/s brings the most advanced rendering technology to product design professionals," explains Bob McNeel, McNeel President. "Brazil r/s is the standard that all other rendering tools are measured against. We are delighted to be first to be working with the latest technology from SplutterFish to bring Brazil r/s's acclaimed workflow, stability and incredible image quality to our community of Rhino designers."
