 Date: Tue Aug 10 2004
Los Angeles, CA - SIGGRAPH 2004 (Booth #1547) - August 10, 2004 - Avid
Technology, Inc. today announced the availability of an upgraded plug-in
that provides smooth integration between the company's award-winning digital
asset management software, Alienbrain� Studio 7, and Alias' 3D animation
solution, Maya� 6. The integration enables content creators to access
Alienbrain Studio's asset management features directly from the Maya 6
software user interface and manage their artwork with greater efficiency.

"The massive volume of graphical content being created today for game and
film projects demands that studio pipelines have an efficient way to track
and store their 3D and related assets," said Bob Bennett, general manager of
product management at Alias. "Over the years, Alienbrain has provided our
users across industries with a secure back end from which they can access,
and onto which they can store, their scenes, models, and associated
textures. The upgraded Alienbrain integration for Maya 6 will ensure a
secure means of managing Maya artists' digital assets."

Using the Alienbrain plug-in for Maya 6, customers can work in the secure,
version-controlled environment of Alienbrain Studio 7 without leaving the
familiar Maya interface. An integrated Alienbrain menu enables artists to
easily navigate projects and files stored on Alienbrain servers, check the
workflow status of their artwork, and drag and drop models and textures into
their workspaces. The upgraded Alienbrain Studio 7 Reference Manager
provides an instant overview of scenes and related files in both the Maya 6
and Alienbrain Studio 7 client applications. This substantially simplifies
the tracking and accessing of dependent files, such as models and their
related textures.

"Alienbrain and Maya have a long history together," said Gregor vom Scheidt,
managing director at Avid with responsibility for the Alienbrain product
line. "Our ongoing integration efforts reinforce Avid's commitment to
provide Maya users worldwide with award-winning asset management tools that
make it easier to create and manage digital content."

Pricing and Availability

The Alienbrain plug-in for Maya 6 can be downloaded at no cost from the
Alienbrain user forum at http://www.forum.alienbrain.com. The upgraded
plug-in is specifically designed to work with the current version of
Alienbrain Studio. For more information on Alienbrain Studio 7, please visit
