March 1st, 2005 - Lifemode Interactive will preview their multi-platform 3D facial animation SDK solution at next week�s GDC in San Francisco, where they will show their new LifeStudio:HEAD technology for multi-platform game developers.

The long awaited LifeStudio:HEAD� SDK now supports PlayStation�2, Xbox� and Windows� PC. The new multi-platform solutions will allow all game developers and 3D artists to create cutting edge facial animation for PlayStation�2 and Xbox games.

Lifemode�s Director of Production Alex Sychev said, �This is a really important development for facial animation artists. In the past year we have been working in conjunction with several top studios in the UK to develop a combined facial animation and lip-synching tool for developers to create very believable characters in PlayStation�2 game titles and the Xbox� video game system from Microsoft. Our multi-platform technology will now be available to over 90% of the video games market�.

LIFESTUDIO:HEAD 2.6 SDK is a real-time non-linear technology that include a comprehensive library of character templates and tools for easy modeling, realistic texturing, automated lip-synch, and many other facial animation features, and also supports export-import plug-ins with 3ds Max and Maya packages.

At GDC, Lifemode will demonstrate their multi-platform SDK solutions ahead of the launch date in April and anyone wishing to see it should contact Natalie Polikarpova at [email protected].
