In an effort to bring state-of-the-art technology to everyone in the
development and 3D graphics community, Monolith Studios is offering
incredibly low prices for 3D rendering, motion capture and 3D
scanning. 

"3D ENTHUSIAST" PRICING
Do you like to experiment with 3D software and graphics, just for fun?
Do you have a project you'd like to render without having to tie up
your computer for hours (or days)? Have you always wanted to try
motion capture in your work but couldn't afford it? Are you a student
who is putting together 3D animations for your demo reel? If so, our
"3D Enthusiast" pricing is designed for you.

This pricing is aimed at 3D artists, students and hobbyists who are
looking for professional results at unbelievably low prices. We are
offering these services during our "idle time," i.e., during the time
our equipment is not being used for scheduled projects. Due to this
limitation we cannot guarantee exact delivery dates, but we will do
our best to complete your projects within a reasonable timeframe.

PRICING DETAILS:
3D Rendering: 10� to $1.25/frame (price depends on software used and
rendering resolution)

Motion Capture: $15/basic move (basic moves include walk, run, kick,
punch, stab, fall, jump, roll, shooting move, etc.)


"PROFESSIONAL" PRICING - NOW 50% OFF!
This pricing is aimed at all companies - small and large - who are
looking for top quality equipment and talent to complete their 3D
rendering, scanning and motion capture needs on time and with
remarkable results. We guarantee delivery dates for these professional
services.

3D Rendering:  $15/hour per computer (based on 8 hour day)
Monolith's renderfarm, the Intergraph � StudioZ� RenderRax�, is one of
the fastest computer arrays on the West Coast. It features 60 200 MHz
Pentium� Pro processors, each with a 512KB secondary cache for
optimized performance.

3D Scanning: $60/hour
Monolith Studios offers full service 3D scanning of your models and
objects. Our state-of-the-art Cyberware � 3D laser digitizer is
especially well suited to the types of subjects digitized in model
shop and animation work. 

Motion Capture:	
Studio Time: $1,000/day (based on 8 hour day)
Tracking: $60/hr.
Monolith uses the latest digital tool for "performance capture" to
dramatically speed animation productions and improve the realism of
the visuals. Called the ExpertVision� HiRES optical motion capture
system, this tool uses video and computers to automate 3D character
animation.
