June 21, 2004 — From a press release:
Catwoman, Spider-Man 2 and
Around the World in 80 Days are just a few of this summer's feature films
created using tools from Discreet, a division of Autodesk, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSK).
Major film studios and post-production facilities relied on Discreet's visual
effects, colour grading and 3D animation systems and software to deliver
mesmerising motion graphics that catapult viewers into fantasy worlds.
Zoic Studios used Dicreet's visual effects flame(R) system and
combustion(R) software for multiple wire and rig removals in Spider-Man 2, in
theatres June 30, 2004. Steve Meyer, Zoic Studios' senior compositor said, "On
Spider-Man 2, the use of flame and combustion's paint, tracking and warping
tools often allowed us to completely clean the rigs out of a scene. For more
difficult shots, elements were recreated, and then composited back into the
scene using flame." Already the owner of three Discreet flame systems, Zoic
Studios recently added 10 combustion workstations, and is benefiting from the
compatibility between Discreet products.
Additionally, the Spider-Man 2 game, which will be released by publisher
Activision on the movie's opening day, was developed by TreyArch using
Discreet's 3ds max(R) animation software.
