October 14th, 2004 - Lifemode Interactive, the facial animation and lip-synching software developers, will be participating at the 3D Graphics exhibition "CGI Festival 2004" in Leeds and London.

The first event being held in Leeds, West Yorkshire, on November 9th and 10th at the Royal Armouries Museum is the first 3D graphics show in the UK since Digital Arts World nearly two years ago.

Lifemode will be demonstrating their facial animation and lip-synching technology: LIFESTUDIO:HEAD 2.6. The software contains an impressive set of features supported by the original Macro-Muscles technology. These include easy modeling, realistic texturing, automated lip-synch, and many other fully functional facial animation features, and supports both export-import with 3ds Max and Maya packages. LIFESTUDIO:HEAD 2.6 is available in 3 box versions: Standard Editor, Standard Artist and Pro packages, and includes a comprehensive library of tools and character templates.

The LIFESTUDIO:HEAD 2.6 facial animation package is intended for games, multimedia products, animation movies, TV graphics, business presentations, interactive help systems, education programmes and an assortment of character-based web projects. Facial animation has never been made easier for 3D graphic artist to use. Now all game studios and graphic artists can enjoy a very inexpensive way of creating realistic and believable lifelike characters. It's quick, amazingly simple and very efficient!
