About Electric Image

Originally founded as a visual effects studio in 1987, Electric Image developed a proprietary 3D rendering and animation package to create digital special effects for film. After significant recognition for the early efforts, it soon realized that a strong market existed for a lower cost, high-quality 3D rendering and animation platform that rivaled those products found on SGI machines of the time.

Electric Image, Inc. pioneered high-end 3D imagery and animation on the desktop platform, and in the process created the undisputed "world's fastest software renderer" without sacrificing quality for speed.
