***Viewpoint DataLabs Changes Name to Viewpoint Digital
(April 5)

Viewpoint DataLabs International announced its new name:
Viewpoint Digital. The name change follows the recent combination
of Viewpoint DataLabs and 3Name3D, concurrent with the
acquisition of both companies by Computer Associates
International. "Viewpoint Digital" reflects the expanded
company's mission to be the definitive source of quality 3D
digital content, services and software solutions - and to
facilitate the growing use of computer-generated imagery in
communication, education, entertainment, business and industrial
markets.

Viewpoint Digital also announced plans to strengthen its presence
in key digital content creation markets over the next several
months. The company has already increased its presence in Los
Angeles by combining the offices of Viewpoint and 3Name3D into a
single facility in Marina del Rey, providing an expanded resource
to the local production community. The Viewpoint L.A. studio now
offers Viewpoint's full range of production services including
pre-visualization, digitizing, laser scanning, modeling, texture
mapping, shape interpolation, motion attachment and content
archiving. Additionally, to better accommodate the company's
growing business and to better serve the L.A. creative community,
Viewpoint will relocate the office to a larger facility in the
area. Viewpoint Digital, Europe will expand its scope this month
to include 3D services at the company's Pinewood Studios office
in the United Kingdom. Viewpoint already serves hundreds of
customers throughout the UK and Europe. Its new local production
capabilities will make it easier and faster for European
customers to make use of Viewpoint's full range of modeling
products and services."
