Introducing... Pixar Classic Textures Vol. 2

Pt. Richmond, CA (December 6, 1994)--Pixar is proud to announce the release
of Pixar Classic Textures Vol. 2, our second library of photographic
textures available on CD. Our first collection of Classic Textures, Pixar
One Twenty Eight, was so well received that we decided to publish texture
CD's on a regular basis.

Before beginning Pixar Classic Textures Vol. 2 we asked our users what
textures they would like in this new collection. From their suggestions we
have assembled a library featuring a breathtaking array of Clouds,
exciting Exotic Marbles, Pretty Papers, unique Milled Metals, Flowers and
Water, to name a few. All in all there are 100 outstanding new textures in
11 different categories on this CD.

From their inception, all of our Classic Textures were designed for use in
computer graphics. Each material was photographed by a professional
photographer from an original sample, in a controlled environment and then
processed in our custom-equipped texture laboratory.

Pixar Classic Textures incorporate a patented technology that allows the
512x512, 24 bit TIFF images to be tiled seamlessly. As a result, the
textures, when tiled to cover a large area, will appear as a single smooth
image without breaks or lines. The Pixar folding process preserves the
integrity of the original data; therefore, the textures can be scaled or
post processed without any degradation in quality. The tiling technology
makes the computer artist more productive by saving both time and disk
space.

In addition, the Pixar Classic Textures CD includes 128x128, 8 bit versions
of these images that can be used for placement, fills or on-screen
presentations.

Our Adobe Photoshop-compatible plug-in is accessible to Macintosh and
Windows users and displays a thumbnail sample of each image making it easy
to locate and select the desired textures. The plug-in allow users to tile
textures into any selected area. Windows users who do not have Photoshop
can use to Textile to automatically and seamlessly tile images into an
area of any size. Textile is a Pixar application which is also included on
the CD.

Pixar Classic Textures can be used by any application that can read TIFF
files. They are beautiful as backgrounds and fills in graphic and
presentation applications and can be used to create realistic texture maps
in 3D applications such as Pixar Showplace and Pixar Typestry.

The TIFF images on the Pixar Classic Textures CD can be accessed by any
player that can read an ISO 9660 CD format.

Pixar Classic Textures Vol. 2 and Pixar One Twenty Eight are available
through standard distribution channels and retail for $169.00 each.
