Instant Effects will be demonstrating several new products at the international SIGGRAPH Exhibition in Los Angeles, August 10-12. The new Instant Effects products, serving both end users and designers, will be shown at the ATI Booth (#1101).

OfficeFX version 1.3
Instant Effects will be previewing OfficeFX 1.3 - the newest version of its rich 3D media presentation software. OfficeFX is built and priced for end users of Microsoft PowerPoint, allowing them to quickly transform their standard presentations into compelling rich media experiences while continuing to edit as always. OfficeFX 1.3 extends its customizability with advances in video textures, DirectX 9 shaders and geometry deformation to increase capabilities for such things as playing video across slides, stunning realism and anything from rolling waves to dancing characters. OfficeFX 1.3 will be available for download later this fall as a free update to existing customers.

Theme Suite Volumes 1 and 2
Also being shown at SIGGRAPH are Theme Suite collections of professionally choreographed FXThemes giving OfficeFX presenters a further range of engaging appearances for their presentations. Each Theme Suite contains at least ten unique themes, each with numerous variations and custom transitions. OfficeFX customers can purchase Volume 1 now and Volume 2 by the end of August.

Theme Source
Creating a custom FXTheme for OfficeFX is easier than ever with Theme
Source - a new resource for 3D artists wanting to deliver custom looks for clients and events. With Theme Source, digital artists can quickly create their own commercial FXThemes using their current 3ds max skills to produce any number of royalty-free variations. Information on creating custom themes to empower any number of branded and targeted presentations can be found at

Honda and Acura events using OfficeFX
Also presented by Instant Effects will be the work of Martin
Brinkerhoff Associates, Inc. (MBA) an event and presentation company headquartered in Irvine, California using OfficeFX in their upcoming 2005 launch campaign for Honda and Acura. Demonstrations of MBA's work will be shown daily at 3:30 p.m. at the ATI booth.

Everyone interested in trying OfficeFX can download a free trial version at www.instanteffects.com.

OfficeFX is priced at $149 and will be available later this fall as a free upgrade to existing OfficeFX customers. Theme Suites 1 and 2 are priced at $99 each, with Volume 1 available now and Volume 2 by August 30.
