Allegorithmic Announces MaP|ZONE v.1.5
Maps modeling plug-in features fully-editable rendering effects
Press Release - May 5, 2004
Allegorithmic, a young award-winning company specializing in complex media modeling technology, today announced version 1.5 of MaP|ZONE, its groundbreaking software plug-in for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and now Paint Shop Pro.
MaP|ZONE version 1.5 now features over 300 new preset effects including: never seen before fully-editable non photorealistic rendering styles, filters, texture effects, color patterns and grayscale maps. Each of these effects is fully procedural so that artists can easily obtain thousands of different effects from each one. The new version of MaP|ZONE also features speed improvement, anti-aliasing, tiling facilities, alpha-values, 16 bits depth images support and a host of new options.
MaP|ZONE version 1.5 allows graphic artists to quickly and easily build and edit highly complex texture maps, patterns and filters in order to create extremely realistic textures, shaders and astonishing visual effects. MaP|ZONE is based on Allegorithmic’s unique FX Maps technology, a patent-pending set of algorithms that allow simple and direct hand modification of procedural maps.
“Simple and direct interaction with procedural maps was until now thought to be impossible. With MaP|ZONE we have created a unique set of tool that gives digital artists complete and precise control over even the most complex procedural maps,” explains Sébastien Deguy, Allegorithmic’s founder and CEO.
With MaP|ZONE version 1.5, artists can generate an unlimited number of never seen-before effects, using simple ‘paint’ techniques. There is virtually no limit to the amount of parameter changes MaP|ZONE can handle, and no limit to the creativity it offers.
Product Pricing and Availability
MaP|ZONE version 1.5 is available immediately for just $99.00. It is also available as a free upgrade to existing MaP|ZONEv.1.0 or v1.1 users and can be downloaded from Allegorithmic’s website.
