 Date: Mon Dec 06 2004
December 06,2004 - Allegorithmic, a young award-winning company specializing in the development of innovative tools for motion graphics and visual effects, today announced a free version of MaP|ZONE, the ultimate complex texture and filters designer for Adobe Photoshop , Adobe Illustrator and Paint Shop Pro .

Available for both PC and Mac, MaP|ZONE FREE is a fully featured version of the groundbreaking plug-in. Fully useable in production, MaP|ZONE FREE contains over 400 preset effects including fully-editable non photorealistic rendering styles, filters, texture effects, color patterns and grayscale maps. Each of these effects is fully procedural so that artists can easily obtain thousands of different effects from each one.

MaP|ZONE FREE also gives users access to a user community to allow graphic artists to share custom presets and get new ones as soon as they are published. The free version also features a simplified user interface and an updated effects library.

MaP|ZONE FREE will be upgradeable to future versions of the software when they become available. A new version is expected to become available at the beginning of Q2 2005.

"With MaP|ZONE FREE we are making our groundbreaking software available to every graphic artist, texture artist, game developer, and student who wishes to build and edit highly complex texture maps, patterns and filters to create realistic textures, shaders and astonishing visual effects," explains S�bastien Deguy, Allegorithmic's founder and CEO. "With MaP|ZONE artists can generate an unlimited number of never seen-before effects, using simple 'paint' techniques. There is virtually no limit to the amount of parameter changes MaP|ZONE can handle, and no limit to the creativity it offers," he adds.

MaP|ZONE is based on Allegorithmic's unique FX Maps technology, a patent-pending set of algorithms that allow simple and direct hand modification of procedural maps.

Product pricing and availability

MaP|ZONE FREE is available as free download from Allegorithmic's website www.allegorithmic.com and from authorized resellers.
