by Business Editors & Multimedia Write
Aug 5 1997 3:51PM CST, BUSINESS WIRE
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 1997--
Huge Price Reductions and Live Demonstration of Long-Awaited
"Final Fantasy VII" Also Highlight Show
On Wednesday, at Siggraph '97, Nichimen Graphics Inc. announced the first Windows NT port of its popular N-World integrated software suite, for the creation of 3-D graphics and animation targeted at the game-development and interactive-entertainment industries.
N-World is the market leader, having enjoyed wide success running on the Silicon Graphics UNIX workstations.
In addition, N-World will be demonstrated at the booths of key Nichimen Graphics strategic partners: Intergraph (No. 439), AccelGraphics (No. 561) and Mitsubishi (No. 917).
The company also announced a major 40 percent price reduction on N-World, slashing the cost from $16,995 to $9,995. The Fast Track suite, consisting of N-Geometry, N-Paint 2D and 3D, and Export (DirectX, VRML 2.0), has been reduced from $6,495 to $4,995 for two weeks as a Siggraph "5plus5" show special.
N-World contains the most advanced polygonal modeling and animation software available today. It consists of 2-D and 3-D painting and texturing tools, material editor, photo-realistic render and artist's preview tools used to create some of the world's best-selling interactive games -- including "Super Mario 64," "Spider," "Enemy Zero" and "Beast Wars."
It was also used extensively by Square to make the much- anticipated "Final Fantasy VII.'
As part of Nichimen's participation at Siggraph '97, Kazuyuki Hashimoto, the creative director of "Final Fantasy VII," will showcase N-World during a key presentation in SGI's booth (No. 1139/1339) by illustrating how the game was made, from concept to modeling to game play.
Fast Track is the premier real-time 3-D graphics content- creation software for the Silicon Graphics and NT workstations. It consists of N-GEOMETRY, N-PAINT (2D and 3D),color reduction, texturing and export to VRML and DirectX.
Nichimen's software has also been fully certified on the Intergraph TD-200, TD-225 and TDZ-410. Support for the following boards is planned for this quarter: 3Dlabs GLINT 500TX and 500MX; ELSA Gloria-L/MX; Mitsubishi 3D Pro; AccelGraphics Eclipse and MX; Diamond FireGL 100; and Oxygen 202.

To Andy and my other supporters,
I left this message and as well as much of the SI boards because I was cursed at and laughed at by several investors due to the fall of ACCL.
They were rude beyond belief and you can always go back and review what they said.
I always believe in ACCL and held onto my shares and bought more at $4.75 to average out my cost.
I always know I will make back my big loss but this is sooner than I have imagined. Instead of losing $40k, I have turned around and on the plus side of $35k in just a few days.
I want everyone to know that if you believe in what you buy, you should always ride out the down trends. In the end, all good stocks will continue to head higher. This is the way of the stock market-there's no secret about it.
Have faith and do your homework. |

John,
Can I make a suggestion? It would help if you would have posted your trades when the stock is down instead of when it is making a comeback. I have bought PWAV and ACCL basing on your suggestion with due diligence, of course, and have to thank you for bring it up. Would love to hear your suggestion anytime. |

Hi John
Good to see your message and I'm glad you feel vindicated. I too would be interested in hearing from you when you make moves and not later. I too followed your leads in Pwav and Apex as well as Accl, and am up as a result. Hurray!. But I could have done much better if my timing was improved, and your suggestions at the critical moments would be welcome.
I actually ended losing on Pwav, because I bought when you first recommended (at $18) rode it up and over the peak, selling during the issue of new shares (at $17.5) and missing the subsequent runup. Arggh. Then I used the cash to buy Accl at $11 and $10. Double Arggh. But it ends happily, because I bought more Accl at $4 7/8 so now I can sleep again.
Yours truly,
-MosheS |
