Discreet has released a product called Plasma, a relatively inexpensive package of 3D modeling and animation based on 3ds max 4 and intended for creating Web content in Flash, ShockWave 3D, and VRML formats (Fig. 19.6). There is also the option to render in Adobe Illustrator vector format and raster formats.

Plasma includes advanced tools for polygon modeling, texturing, animation with the use of ribs, inverse kinematics, and solids' dynamics. The package enables loading objects in 3ds max formats (with some limitations), 3D Studio, and VRML. The package also supplies a plug-in for 3ds max that lets you render in Flash format in 3ds max.
