Animation: Master for OS X Debuts

Animation Master for OS X Debuts
Hash Inc. has announced the release of Animation:Master for Mac OS X. The 3D software was previously available for Windows and Mac OS 9. Animation:Master includes OpenGL-based modelling, texturing, animation and rendering tools.

Animation:Master for Mac OS X has been rebuilt for Mac OS X from the ground up, rather than simply being "Carbonized" to run natively in OS X, according to Hash Inc. director of marketing Ken Baer. The software was developed as a Mach-O application and requires Mac OS X v10.3 or later.

Animation:Master costs $299 (around �165), or $99 (�55) to upgrade from previous versions. The Mac OS X release is available for online purchase and download, and requires the Hash 2003 or 2004 CD to operate.
