category of "Best 3D Software (under $1,000)." As NewMedia Magazine

it deserves special recognition...The winners - chosen by the editorial
staff of NewMedia in consultation with contributing editors and outside
experts - represent the best multimedia products in terms of technical
excellence and innovation."

Most recently, on January 9, 1996, Specular Infini-D 3.0 was chosen by the
readers and editors of Macworld magazine to receive the "World Class"
Award for "Best Modeling/Rendering Software." "What is significant about
this award," says Adam Lavine, President and CEO of Specular

by the readers - people who use our products every day for their work.
