CUBICSPACE STUDIOS RELEASE
3D SPATIAL SOUND PLUG-IN
& 1,500 SOUND SAMPLES

Cubicspace Studios, creators of cutting-edge real time 3D environments are set to release 2 products: an all-encompassing 3D positional sound plug-in for 3D Studio max 3, 4 and viz; and a content library of 1,500 original sound samples.

Thunder 3D positional sound system is the first product of its kind. It includes Sensaura's 3DPA technology, enabling sound to be heard in 3D from only 2 speakers or using headphones. It promises to empower 3D artists by, enabling them to incorporate sound whilst working on their 3D animations. Thunder will remove the workflow bottleneck that usually occurs when sound is added on projects such as game trailers, FMV sequences, cut-scenes and intros and give artists complete control over their work. Thunder enables professionals and consumers, including game artists and developers, pre and post-production film houses and multimedia designers, quickly build a soundtrack perfectly synchronized with their key-framed events. Thunder supports professional features including material occlusion and dynamic reverb. It works with every appropriate feature in max and viz including character animation and particle systems.

Steven Markham, CEO of Cubicspace comments:
'We are launching two products initially. The first, Thunder, is a must-have plug-in for 3D Studio max and viz. Uniquely; we have incorporated Sensaura 3DPA technology into our plug-in, to provide real 3D positional sound. For the first time everyone from major studios, freelancers, and even a would be games developer out to impress a publisher with a new concept, can now add true 3D sound and effects to their animation. In addition to its seamless max and viz interface, Thunder provides comprehensive tutorials, an informative and accurate manual, and 500 royalty-free and original 48KHz sound samples, for a very competitive price.'

The second product, Thunder 3D positional sound system is the first product of its kind. It includes Sensaura's 3DPA technology, enabling sound to be heard in 3D from only 2 speakers or using headphones. It promises to empower 3D artists, by enabling them to incorporate sound whilst working on their 3D animations.
