***ParaGraph Announces Suite of VRML Tools

ParaGraph has announced a suite of VRML 2.0 authoring tools:

Internet3D Space Builder (ISB), "the first PC-oriented VRML 2.0 authoring
tool for creating highly sophisticated 3D Internet worlds. ISB combines
powerful 3D creation, advanced texturing and publishing functions with an
intuitive interface that gives Web site developers the ability to quickly
publish VRML 2.0 worlds of unlimited complexity. ISB's capabilities
include advanced shape modeling (including Boolean operations), easy
object manipulation and importation of VRML 2.0, .DXF and .3DS files in
addition to ParaGraph's .MUS and D96 files."

A beta version will be available for Web download August 5th.

To ship Q4:

Internet3D Avatar Builder (IAB) will allow customers to assemble 3D
avatars dragging and dropping different elements. IAB assigns elementary
movements to diverse parts of an avatar's skeleton and exports these
produced behaviors as VRML 2.0 files, "enabling avatars to demonstrate
complex lifelike behaviors in Cyberspace."

Internet3D Behavior Builder (IBB) will allow users to easily add
behaviors in a drag and drop manner to VRML 2.0 objects. The IBB product
will include a number of generic behaviors as well as the means to add
customized behaviors to the behavior library.

Internet3D Multi-User Server(TM) (IMUS) will support multi-user
interaction within 3D environments, including motion, shared state and
digital ink transmission. The server architecture "allows for easy
scaling from 2 to 1000 simultaneous users."
