Although the file was released publicly earlier this month, Anark Corp. on Wednesday announced the availability of Anark Client 2 for Mac OS X. The software enables users to view content created with Anark Studio 2, the company’s recently released multimedia authoring software.
Anark Studio 2 has been used to create high-impact multimedia presentations complete with detailed 3D content. It features integrated compositing and rendering functions, video mapping on 3D objects, support for animated materials and textures, the ability to blend 2D and 3D content, JavaScript and more.
Anark Studio 2 includes the Anark Player 2 and Anark Client 2 software for Mac OS X, though the authoring environment itself presently requires Windows. A Mac OS X-native version of Anark Studio 2 is planned for release in Q3 2003.
Anark Client is available for download from the Anark Web site. It supports Safari, Netscape and Mozilla browsers. System requirements call for Mac OS X 10.2.2 or higher, 128MB RAM, OpenGL 1.2.1-compatible graphics card, and 4MB hard disk space.
