MAXON was among the more than 180 industry organizations, representing 15 countries that exhibited at the conference this year.

The Silver Edge Awards are not given to the most popular' but rather the most inventive' or those showing the most potential' for the industry, explains Karen Moltenbrey, chief editor at CGW. At SIGGRAPH this year, I saw some amazing things, which illustrates how forward-thinking many of these companies are! Indeed, there were some new companies with new products, but just as important are the established firms that continue to innovate, and among them is MAXON. MAXON continues to add amazing features and functions to its already prolific CINEMA 4D, making it one of the industrys must-have products, she adds.

CINEMA 4D R15 made its public debut at SIGGRAPH last month. The next generation release of the widely used 3D software package reinforces MAXON 25-year industry leadership reputation and is marked by powerful enhancements to modeling, text creation, rendering and sculpting. MAXON is scheduled to ship R15 in early September and will showcase the software suite for the first time in Europe at IBC2013, September 13-17, at the RAI Amsterdam.
