Thanks. *****News from Xaos Tools***** Xaos Tools Launches Exclusive Academic Program to Complement Silicon Graphics' Varsity Program Xaos Tools announces a one-of-a-kind program to "seed" existing SGI Varsity Program members with Xaos Tools' digital media applications. Through Xaos Tools' Academic Program, universities can buy Xaos Tools' suite of SGI applications - Pandemonium, PanFX 1 and nTitle - virtually free! Normally priced at $7,500 per suite, this outstanding set of products is available to SGI Varsity Program members for a minimal maintenance charge. Xaos Tools is offering five complete product suites (the minimum order) for only $1,000 to cover the cost of maintenance and support! This incredible offer is guaranteed to run through December 31, 1994. Pandemonium and nTitle are used extensively by high-end animation facilities, video post houses and television stations involved in producing film effects, broadcast commercials, games and multimedia. Both products, while stand-alone, are also perfect complements to existing 3D systems. nTitle is a tool for generating text and 2D animation, and offers stunning broadcast-quality rendered text and flexible typographic and animation tools. Pandemonium, the industry's premier image processing animation tool, is comprised of 44 effects modules, each of which is like a complete application in itself. A companion product, PanFX 1, provides a plug-in collection of spectacular effects for Pandemonium. Patty Seger, director of the Center for Visual Creation (an SGI national training center) and professor of art at Mississippi State University, describes Xaos Tools' products in this way: "Xaos Tools' complete suite of software products is perfect for both artists and technical types. Our students get totally absorbed with Pandemonium and nTitle. The products' ease of use allows for "real-time" gratification. The exciting painterly and unusual special effects produce cutting-edge animations and top-notch graphics solutions to almost any problem. There is no time wasted on struggling with steep learning curves. It is the closest thing to MAGIC you'll ever experience!"
