VisMasters Initiative Brings Design Professionals Together to Share, Learn, Inspire

New VisMasters Store Launched by ArchVision

Lexington, Kentucky, July 19, 2005 -- ArchVision is pleased to announce the launch of its new initiative, VisMasters (www.VisMasters.com). VisMasters brings together like-minded individuals who share a common interest in design visualization to share, learn, and gain inspiration from one another. VisMasters provides online forums, a gallery featuring the very best in design visualization, complimentary content and a commerce solution, the VM Store, tailored for professional designers with leading software and content solutions. VisMasters is also teaming with popular online communities to deliver products, presales services, and technical support to their members. Along with VisMasters.com, VM Stores can currently be found at CGarchitect.com and Vizdepot.com, two of the industry’s most popular destinations for design visualization professionals.

“Our goal is to bring the same high level of customer service we’ve delivered to customers of our RPC solutions to a broader audience through the VisMasters initiative,” says Randall Stevens, President and CEO of ArchVision, “Design Professionals will be better served as we bring together the best software and content developers from around the world and deliver their solutions through familiar communities such as CGarchitect.com and Vizdepot.com.”

VisMasters continues to add quality products and services to the VM Store and is seeking additional partners who can benefit from the initiative. In addition to online communities like CGarchitect.com and Vizdepot.com, VisMasters will work with traditional resellers and training centers to provide additional training and support materials along with a fully automated commerce solution that meets their need to serve a local customer base.

VM Store

VM Stores present the best design products and content through a solution created specifically for designers. Working with the world’s leading developers of visualization solutions, VM Stores host software products such as Rhino, Piranesi, V-Ray, nVerse Photo, and Photoshop Elements as well as content from popular developers such as ArchVision and Hyperfocal Design.

"The unique needs of the professional design community differentiate it from other 3-D markets such as video, film production, and gaming. VisMasters' focus on these needs makes us excited to work with them to promote our Rhino modeling and rendering solutions," says Scott Davidson, Rhino Market Research and Development Manager, Robert McNeel & Associates.

VisMasters Complimentary Content

Industry professionals can also find plenty of free content at any VM Store. VisMasters has created exclusive complimentary content made available through its Complimentary Content Channels. 2D texture collections created exclusively for VisMasters are free to anyone who registers. Registrants can even “subscribe” to the free service and receive complimentary textures each business day—downloaded automatically to their office computer.

“The Complimentary Content Channels are a convenient service for busy design visualization professionals,” states Magnus Lindqvist, Manager of VisMasters, “By receiving these free textures automatically each day, VisMasters customers will be more productive and have immediate access to a broad selection of high quality textures for use in their designs.”

Image of the Week & VisMasters Forums

Each week VisMasters delivers an Image of the Week email featuring the best in design visualization. Tens of thousands of subscribers receive the Image of the Week and participate in the forums where viewers discuss the current image with their peers and the VisMasters themselves.
