NEWBURY PARK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
MAXON Computer USA, the developers of CINEMA 4D and BodyPaint 3D,
today announced the 2008 schedule of its highly anticipated Power
Integration Tour. The tour is a joint road show with Adobe Systems
Incorporated that highlights the ease of integrating MAXON CINEMA 4D
3D software with Adobe(R) Creative Suite(R) 3 Production Premium for a

"Based on the positive reception we received from artists at tour
stops last year, we're thrilled to continue our joint partnership with
Adobe," said Paul Babb, president, MAXON. "Creative professionals are
constantly challenged to improve their 3D/2D production pipelines and
get the most from their toolkits. We're confident the tour will
address artists' needs by showcasing the superior capabilities a
MAXON/Adobe integrated workflow brings to motion graphics studios."
"We were excited to be able to host the Adobe/MAXON Power
Integration Tour last month at Digital Media Artists / Los Angeles
(http://www.dmala.org) With 3D animation becoming more of an expected
talent for all motion graphics and broadcast designers, the
presentation showed how easily the two products work together," said
Ko Maruyama, co-host Digital Media Artists/Los Angeles. "Most of the
DMA/LA members are professional animators and compositors working in
and around Hollywood. Some use 3D applications and some use
compositing software. While many of our members use both animation and
compositing software together, everyone was impressed by how well
CINEMA 4D and Adobe After Effects fit within a production pipeline."
Each Power Integration Tour session will demonstrate how the
combined power of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium and
MAXON's CINEMA 4D can produce stunning 3D motion designs faster and
easier than ever before. Attendees will learn about an array of motion
graphics topics and be taught how to create compelling 3D broadcast
designs culminating in the production of a television newscast
opening.
As an added bonus, attendees are eligible to win over $60,000 in
door prizes that feature complimentary products from Adobe and MAXON,
and from tour sponsors including: Artbeats, Cybermotion: Chris and
Trish Meyer, Digital Anarchy, Gridiron Software, Intel, NVIDIA, Pixel
Corps, NTI, Cyberlink, RE: Vision Effects, and Verbatim.
