Vizrt, the world's leading provider of software-defined visual storytelling solutions (#SDVS ) for media content creators, today announced the free edition of Viz Artist 4.2, the real-time 3D graphics design tool that unleashes the creative power of the world's top broadcasters and storytellers. Also launching today is the Viz Artist in Residence program, initiating the search for the world's greatest Viz Artist designer.

Vizrt's software ecosystem for graphics is used by nearly every major media organization in the world including CNN, CBS, NBC, Fox, Sky UK, Al Jazeera, ZDF, Media Corp, and many more. Within these Vizrt broadcast workflows, using Viz Artist is an essential skill. Viz Artist 4.2 works together with Viz Engine to deliver photorealistic and data-driven real-time graphics to the entire live broadcast ecosystem. All scenes created with the free version of Viz Artist 4.2 are fully compatible with the commercial versions that are offered with Viz Engine.

Viz Artist seamlessly integrates with other leading Vizrt graphics solutions, available through recently announced Flexible Access plans, that dial down complexity so customers can focus on their creativity and storytelling.
