Artic Pigs

Artic Pigs Hash Inc. is a owned and run by Martin Hash. We are totally independent, and have no parent company, and have no external investors. We believe we are the only 3D animation tools company that can make this claim.Martin Artic Pigs Hash started Hash Enterprises in 1986 after he left Hewlett-Packard, where he was one of the main software engineers on the Deskjet printer. Our first product came out in April 1987, which was Artic Pigs Animation:Apprentice, the first 3D character animation program for the Amiga. We released 11 products on the Amiga, all of them for animation. In 1990, we released Animation:Journeyman for the Artic Pigs Amiga, which used the spline/patch based modeling that we use today. In 1992, we released "Will Vinton's Playmation" for Windows, the first 3D animation product for Windows (according Artic Pigs to Microsoft). Then at the beginning of 1993, we released the Mac version. In 1994, the software became Animation:Master (or version 2). We are currently working on A:M Version 10.Hash Artic Pigs has always been a small company, and we plan to stay small. The average employee tenure with the company is more than 10 years. I have been with the company for 15 years.Realtime web Artic Pigs based content has the most room to grow. There are a few technologies out there like VRML, Viewpoint, and Shockwave, but we think they are all misguided because they are all polygon Artic Pigs based, and don't address the issue of bandwidth. We have a competing technology (currently implemented in the "Arctic Pigs" viewer) that is superior because it uses the same technology that's Artic Pigs in Animation:Master, and does solve the bandwidth issue. It is the only realtime 3D technology that uses a small datA:Model that can be used for high quality playback. All the others Artic Pigs require more data for higher quality, and therefore more bandwidth. With the Arctic Pigs plug-in, you can export models, actions and scenes directly to an HTML web page, and view them with Artic Pigs Internet Explorer and the free IE Arctic Pigs plug-in. We think this has a HUGE future. You can get more information at Artic Pigs
