***Reflex Systems Announces Reflex|DRAMA v.1.0
(March 19)

Reflex Systems Inc announced today the release of the
Reflex|DRAMA v.1.0 system, the first offering of its family of 3D
human generation products.

Reflex|DRAMA is a resolution-independent human Reflex|modeling
and animation system. What this means is that users can design
humans once (using the patented Reflex|DNA) and change the
resolution on the fly to produce 3D humans tailored to their
needs and requirements. Reflex|DRAMA was designed for users who
need a scaleable solution that can address the low to medium-
resolution required for games while still being able to go super-
hires for film and TV work.

Reflex|DRAMA is 3D animation software based on a musculo-skeleton
approach. A musculo-skeleton is a simulated assembly of volume
tissue representing all the major layers of the human body.
Reflex|DRAMA musculo-skeleton layers include bone, cartilage,
muscle, tendon, fat and skin.

To model a new human being, users modify the internal layers (ex:
bone warping, bone scaling, muscle bulging, fat injection, etc.)
and prompt the system to update the external skin based on the
new layer information. Changes in the musculo-skeleton are saved
into a format called Reflex|DNA and can be reapplied to any human
in a 3D scene.

The patented Reflex|DNA sequencing technology is a fast way to
design humans with realism. Everything that users change in the
body is "recorded" as they work. Users do not need to know
anything about the human anatomy; the program is visual,
interactive and mouse-driven.

ReflexDRAMA was developed with direct input from leading special
FX and game companies to address long standing issues:

- Resolution independence - Design once and deploy at any
resolution in NURBS or polygon meshes.
- Speed of design - Considerably reduces the time that it takes
to generate human characters.
- Openness - Includes an SDK to generate a large number of
different human models at various resolutions and automatically
assign motion files to them.
- Simplicity - Eliminates the need for IK setups and manual
vertex weighting and assignments.
- Compatibility - Compatible with existing 3D animation software.
The outside skin can be exported using different file formats.

The REFLEX|DRAMA software is available immediately from
authorized resellers. Through May 31st, 2002, it is available at
the introductory price of $8,990 per node-locked and floating
license.

Reflex Systems Inc, is a developer of 3D human generation
technology, designed to address the demands of the film and
commercial/broadcast and games/interactive industries.
