4DVISION ANNOUNCES 4D PAINT A VIRTUAL WORLD 3D PAINT SYSTEM.
July 30, 1996, Denver, Colorado - 4DVISION is pleased to announce 4D PAINT, an extension product for 3D Studio
MAX, a 3D Modeling product from Autodesk Inc. 4D Paint is the first package to bring high end 3D Paint functionality
to the PC in a fully interactive 3D environment. 4D Paint offers the 3D artist a world of virtual paint and natural media
painting tools. 4D Paint is unique in being able to offer dynamic control and interaction in a 3D paint package running on
a PC platform with no 3D accelerator cards required.
4D Paint has a modular brush & paint system offering unique painting and texture effects in real-time. It is possible to
import one or more objects or an entire scene into 4D Paint and work in fully rendered true 24 Bit Color. The software
interactively renders color, bump texture & self-illumination while you paint.
The 3D artist can paint color, bump, opacity, self-illumination, and shininess or any combination directly onto the surface
of a 3D object with a single brush stroke. For example it is possible to paint the complex color and surface texture of
fish scales directly onto a 3D model of a fish and see the results while painting. For added flexibility in painting and
positioning 2D Paint and texture effects onto a 3D model, it is possible to overlay the object's unfolded mesh onto any
paint or other layer as your positioning guide. 3D artists can then paint in 2D and 3D simultaneously in either 3D or
unfolded mode.
4D Paint is available for Windows NT and delivers as a standalone windows application and as a Plug-in to 3D Studio
Max. 4D Paint also support the following optional hardware devices : Wacom pressure sensitive tablets and
Spacetechs Spaceball controller.
