DISCREET ANNOUNCE SHIPPING OF REACTOR

DISCREET, a division of Autodesk, have announced that they have begun shipping ‘reactor’, the latest integrated extension for 3ds max 4, the world's best-selling professional 3D animation and modeling software.
Powered by Havok, makers of real-time physics software for digital entertainment and web-based applications, reactor incorporates the industry's leading technology that realistically simulates cloth, rope, liquid and hard-/soft-body objects that collide, bounce, break and stretch.
Dan Prochazka, Product Manager at Discreet, said: "The reactor extension allows animators to more easily create details within water, hair, and fabric that were once too tedious to bring to life. Powered by Havok's technology, Discreet's reactor provides the most advanced, complete, and integrated physics and dynamics simulation system available for any 3D program."
For game developers, film and video producers, and web developers who want to add highly realistic, dynamic simulations to their 3ds max 4 scenes, reactor includes a real-time dynamics simulation previewer, providing an interactive viewing window. (CD)
