Animagic no longer maints the huge page with links to websites. Instead we have
opted to jointly maintain the links page in collaboration with our colleagues of
mantiCORE Labs. This will lighten the maintenance efforts for both parties.

| Animagic development services |
|
For the past 15 years Animagic has been in fhe front lines of digital
post-production. Its success is largely due to the development of in-house
proprietary software tools and solutions, provided by the engineering division
Animagic Development. For the past decade Animagic Development has also been
offering its services on a commercial basis outside of the production arena. The
enormous amount of experience and expertise at Animagic Development have
benefitted many different parties in the areas of 3D animation, AV production,
Visual Effects, and Production and Post-Production in the broadcast, film, and
entertainment industries. Below is a range of services offered by Animagic
Development that represent a number of the areas of expertise that we feel
represent the core business of the company. For more information or project
quotations please contact a representative.

| mantiCORE application development |
Animagic Development continues when the boundaries of commercial 3D and DCC
software fail due to having reached its limits. Based on the. currently under
development. mantiCORE Foundation Architecture solutions can be provided in ways
that have been incocievable with all of today's 3D animation products on the
commercial market.
When development of solutions based on the
abovementioned software products is no longer feasible or cost-effective there
has traditionally only been one alternative to undertake; custom and proprietary
development of stand-alone applications. While this has proven effective in many
circumstances it is not always feasible to do so due to the associated time
constraints. With the mantiCORE Foundation Architecture that forms the framework
for development of specialized tools most of these constraints can be considered
part of history. At this time Animagic Development is selectively deploying the
first mantiCORE based application solutions to a few clients that have
experienced the limitations of their software.
