MindAvenue Launches Web Design Suite: AXELedge V2
End-to-end workflow enables designers to create content for MacromediaR
FlashT, video and interactive 3D for the Web, CD-ROM or DVD
Montreal, Canada - (February 20, 2003) - MindAvenueT, developer of
award-winning authoring tools for interactive media, announced today the
launch of AXELedge V2, the latest edition of its web design suite for
creating rich interactive graphics. AXELedge V2 bridges the gap between 2D
and 3D by enabling the creation and export of 3D animations to the
MacromediaR FlashT file format (SWF) and to web video formats including
MPEG-4. In addition, AXELedge V2 extends its industry-leading interactive 3D
capabilities by including direct support for publishing interactive 3D
QuickTimeT content.
"With these major enhancements, MindAvenue continues its commitment to offer
a complete solution designed for creative professionals who wish to spend
less time scripting or programming, and more time creating and designing,"
says Benoit Cloutier, MindAvenue's Chief Technology Officer. "The
integration of new publishing, export and import features, derived from
client feedback, lowers production costs by streamlining the overall
workflow for producing interactive web graphics. With these new features, we
are proud to extend the power of the AXEL authoring environment to 2D and 3D
web designers alike."
Other new export and publishing features include Real-Time Export Preview,
as well as support for generating self-contained projector executables,
antialiased image renderings and industry standard VRML worlds. The new
capabilities of AXELedge V2 complement its set of built-in tools for
creating models, animations and interactivity from scratch.
By integrating 2D, 3D, video, sound and text, and by enabling publication
and export in a full range of popular web graphics formats, AXELedge V2
integrates seamlessly into the designer's workflow. The suite increases
productivity, while enabling designers to repurpose assets across different
productions and delivery formats without requiring multiple software
programs.

MindAvenue's AXELedge V2 is available for PC and Mac at a suggested retail
price of $595 USD (a 35% reduction in price from AXELedge V1.5). AXELedge V2
