Sapphire 5 Offers Marked Improvements to Performance and Productivity

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – December 17, 2009 — GenArts Inc
Announced in November, Sapphire 5 will offer GPU-accelerated render speeds up to 700 percent faster than version 4, as well as support for full floating point workflows, enabling true photorealistic image quality with the highest dynamic range available. This increase in performance will dramatically change the complexion of the visual effects pipeline by lifting barriers to artists’ creativity, while significantly reducing infrastructure costs. Sapphire 5 is scheduled to ship in the first quarter of 2010 for Autodesk users. Please visit www.genarts.com/5
