Motion Factory Announces
Motivate's real-time animation engines and scripting language allow developers to create intelligent, interactive, real-time 3D characters and environments. An extensible development platform, the Motivate System includes development tools, an SDK, server technology, and runtime engines for several platforms. Motivate 2.0's new, modular architecture will enable developers to select, replace or omit parts of the Development System to suit their specific needs, and use individual technology components of the system in isolation if desired. Developers can extend and customize Motivate through an enhanced and simplified Motivate SDK, incorporating plug-in editors and assets into the Motivate Tool Kit. New drag-and-drop capabilities and asset sharing functions further simplify the content creation process. Each Motivate Runtime engine is available and optimized for a variety of deployment platforms, including Win32, PlayStation 2, Sega Dreamcast, and Macintosh. The Motivate 2 Developers Toolkit will be available first quarter of 2000, directly from The Motion Factory. The complete Motivate 2 package, including all tools and engines, will be licensed for $7,500 per seat, with a commercial runtime distribution license fee of $50,000-100,000 per title. Pricing for individual engine modules, including DLLs and SDK, ranges from $17,500 to $50,000. The
