FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Aug. 23, 2006

San Mateo, Calif. - Aug. 23, 2006 - Luxology® LLC, an independent technology company developing next-generation 3D content creation software, today announced that Massive Entertainment, a studio in Vivendi Games' Sierra Entertainment division, is using modo for "World in Conflict," the upcoming Cold War strategy game for the PC due in spring 2007. modo's flexible user interface and powerful UV tools dramatically increased the Swedish developer's production of detailed realistic models and was used to produce more than 90 percent of the title's in-game models.

"We're very impressed with modo's new features, which have increased our production speed dramatically. For example, a one-day UV task now takes as little as one hour to complete when using modo," said Magnus Larson of Massive Entertainment. "modo also allows us to see more organic detail in our in-game models, which offers an increased level of realism that encourages our artists to explore new ideas and ultimately produce better content for our games."

modo is an innovative 3D modeling, painting and rendering software designed to accelerate the creation of world-class models, associated color and normal maps, and ultra high-quality renderings. modo's modern workflow and advanced toolset easily deliver enhanced productivity for 3D artists working in game development, film visual effects, video production, graphic arts and design visualization. A free 30-day full-featured evaluation version of modo is available for immediate download from modo3d.com.

"Massive is a company that really gets what modo is about," said Brad Peebler, president of Luxology. "The efficiency modo delivers is a function of both superior workflow and the fact artists truly enjoy using the software."

About World in Conflict

World in Conflict represents the next generation of strategy games, with completely destructible 3D battlefields, aggressive team-based multiplayer action and a narrowed gameplay focus on the intense action of modern combat. The game presents a chillingly authentic Cold War scenario created by Cold War authority and best-selling author Larry Bond, in which the Soviets, fearing certain collapse in 1989, boldly advance into Europe. NATO responds in force only to be met on a second front -- a full-fledged invasion of the American homeland. Players take on the role of field commander, leading the era's most powerful military machines in the campaign to retake America's cities and suburbs.
