New, Out of Boxx B Faceware's New Face F aceware Technologies recently launched its Faceware Professional Product Line, a low-cost, start-to-finish facial animation tool suite built to capture, analyze, and create realistic facial performances three to 10 times faster than hand-keying that same performance. The Faceware Professional Product Line includes completely updated versions of the Faceware Head-Mounted Camera System (HMCS) and Faceware Retar- geter, and a brand-new product called Faceware Analyzer. This marks the first time Faceware has offered all its internal technologies for use in studios. Moreover, the Faceware Professional Product Line consists of technologies to handle every step in the facial animation process: video capture, performance analysis, and facial animation. Faceware Analyzer and Retargeter are free to evaluate and can be downloaded directly from www.facewaretech.com. Both come with a free IMPD Performance Library and Rig Library, to help users get up to speed faster. The Faceware HMCS is available for rent or purchase. oxx Technologies is offering the 3DBOXX 4925 ($3259), the first single-Intel Xeon proces- sor workstation with support for up to four GPUs. The latest addition to the Boxx 4900 series workstation line, the 4925 enables users to simultaneously design and render without bogging down the processes. Available in standard and GPU versions, the air-cooled 4925 features an eight core, 16-thread Intel Xeon E5-2600 processor with ECC memory to safeguard against internal data corrup- tion. The GPU edition is available with up to four Nvidia graphics cards. Eight DIMM sockets for quad-channel DDR3 SDRAM provide faster memory performance. Dell's New Workstation Line D ell has redesigned its portfolio of Precision tower workstations for better performance and easier access to vital components. The workstations sport an externally removable power supply and front-accessible hard drives; the Precision T7600 converts to a rack solution for remote access. New patented technology eliminates nearly all memory errors, increasing the reliability of the workstation and maximizing uptime for users. The portfolio includes: the Dell Precision T7600 (starting at $2,149), featuring one of the highest-performing CPU stacks, power supplies, and graphics power for a dual-socket system; the T5600 (starting at $1,879), for space-constrained environments that need substantial compute capability; the T3600 (starting at $1,099), for mid-range workstation work loads; and the T1650 (starting at $789), for applications that push beyond a standard desktop machine. 4 June/July 2012
