Press Release Body: 3D Model Polygon Reduction Made Better

Users of new VizUp Professional will benefit from faster visualization and
compression of 3D models, improved quality of textures mapping and plenty of other
additions and enhancements.

Vancouver, Canada. - August 5, 2008: VizUp Inc. today announces the release of
version 3.0.9 of VizUp Professional, an ad-hoc 3D model compression and optimization
system. Featuring an advanced compression algorithm, VizUp enables users to import a
3D model from external sources, reduce the number of polygons in it and export the
output to a variety of popular 3D file formats. In polygon reduction, VizUp\'s
artificial intelligence automatically chooses a perfect balance between size and
details and produces a fantastic fine-looking result. Thanks to this, users of 3D
modelling software will never again spend hours on tuning a model manually.

What is Unique in VizUp Professional?
The program is unique thanks to its ability to retain good visual fidelity of a 3D
model, regardless of the chosen compression level. Even at 80-90% compression
ratios, distortions are minimal since VizUp Professional does not change the
coordinates of the vertices. Let\'s say, for example, you have imported a high-poly
3D model, which renders too slowly. Polygon reduction in VizUp Professional can
compress it from 6 Mb to 1 Mb with absolutely no difference in appearance. After
reduction, this model can be used for real-time visualization, for example, by a
designer, who would like to evaluate his concept or present it to other people.

What\'s New in Version 3.0.9?
Improved texture border preservation function.

Pricing and Availability
VizUp Professional runs under Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista, $595 (USD).
Registered customers are entitled to discounts on future updates and premium
technical support. Additional information on VizUp, as well as its evaluation copy
is available from VizUp\'s internet website at http://www.vizup.com.
