The events of Sept. 11 delayed the posting of this press release a bit, but Dina is available and getting rave reviews from Poser users that have purchased her. The included image shows a comparison of Posette (model and standard texture included with Poser), DSI's Dina V ($30 with texture included) and DAZ3D's Vicki 2 ($114.85: Vicki 1, $39.95; Vicki 2 upgrade, $39.95; hi res texture, $34.95) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detroit, Michigan, September 08, 2001 -- DSI: Digital Media, inc., formerly known as Dark Soul Images: Internet Media, inc., announced today that the long awaited 3D Poser Character, known as Dina V., will be released for sale today. Dina V. has become the flagship for the numerous future product lines that DSI plans to release to the 3D Graphic Community and promises to be like nothing youve ever seen before. Unlike other conventional figures that have been available in the past, Dina V. offers to users the kind of quality detail that can be found in such Hollywood movies as Final Fantasy. Much of this is attributed to the fact that Dina is an ultra-hi-res figure sporting over 110,000 polygons, which is around four times as many as the current typical figure for Poser. says Dan Cortopassi, DSIs Product Manager. [Dina] is based on a 3D scan of a real person. Her face and body is real, not some average [figure] designed by a committee of artists and modelers. None of this wouldve been possible, had it not been for Dick Cavdek [President of Cyber F/X] and his 3D Scanning Service Bureau out in Glendale, California. admitted Jack D. Kammerer, President of DSI. Dina has become a major launching pad for a very solid relationship between Cyber F/X and DSI: Digital Media, inc. When asked about the extent of their relationship with Dick Cavdek and Cyber F/X, Everyone is going to have to wait and see, Jack replied smiling, we [DSI & Cyber F/X] are exploring several options at the moment. Both Jack D. Kammerer and Diane Griffith, DSIs Online Store Manager and DSI Partner, stated: We felt that it would be really important to offer a product that would be more advanced than any Poser figure currently on the market and to do so at a price that would be affordable to the common users of Poser Dinas features include built in Joint Controlled Morphs (JCM) for realistic knee and elbow movement and a greater range of motion without [the] breaking the mesh as is typical for most Poser figures. Dan Cortopassi explained. Dina is also fully anatomically correct and comes standard with a photo-realistic, hi-res texture by renowned Paul Hafeli. When combined with Dinas ultra-hi-res mesh, the realism is astounding! I am confident that Dina will not only prove to be a benefit to DSI, but also for the entire 3D Graphic Community that use her. Jack added. By constantly creating affordable advances in 3D products, it will help to enhance both of Curious Labs programs [Poser 4 & Poser Pro Pack] and the artwork created from the use of their programs. The 3D Graphic Community will also be able to benefit from the use of our products as Brokered Artists will be able to add more of an income potential for themselves and for the 3D Community, as well as, the many Web Sites out there that help to house that Community. In observing their promise of keeping their product affordable, DSI will be releasing Dina for the retail price of $30 US. Sale of the figure includes -- The ultra-hi-res figure. A photo-realistic hi-res texture [done by Paul Hafeli], MAT poses and a standard low-res version of Dina which will be shipped to Dina buyers upon completion. Dina will have extra content available and sold separately when she is released, which will include -- two other hi-res textures [done by Pam Cresswell and Diane Griffith], a basic clothing pack [done by Dan Cortopassi], Amythest Mermaid figure using Dinas mesh [done by Dan Cortopassi], a Valkyrie Costume and props [done by Dan Cortopassi] Face poses and Hand poses [done by Diane Griffith], Dina Pose Set [done by Fyrdrak] and Hot Pants [done by Pam Cresswell].
