San Antonio, TX – May 23, 2007 -- NewTek, Inc., manufacturer of industry-leading video and 3D animation products, was recently presented with an EventDV Magazine "Best of NAB" Award for the company's new 3D Arsenal application.

"For years, NewTek has been a recognized leader in the development of professional 3D animation systems," said Jay Roth, President NewTek 3D Division. "One of our key missions is to make it easier for more and more people to produce dynamic motion graphics and effects, 3D Arsenal is a first step along that path and it is very rewarding to see our efforts recognized with this honor."
NewTek's 3D Arsenal is a collection of software content and training that makes creating 3D motion graphics quick and easy. The system, based on NewTek's award winning 3D animation, modeling and rendering technology provides output of the highest quality. 3D Arsenal combines a large selection of royalty free pre-made content, an hour of video training and a new streamlined 3D workflow to deliver an application that any non linear editor can use the first time they try. 3D Arsenal also outputs multiple file formats making it compatible with every NLE system on the Mac or PC. With additional content packs to follow for churches, schools, sports and more, 3D Arsenal is the ultimate add-on to any NLE system on the Mac or Windows platforms.
"I was at NAB and I'm here to tell you... there is nothing like 3D Arsenal out there," said Lisa Wood, Vice President of Computerwise Video, Inc, Logan Utah. "I have always been afraid of 3D animation programs, for me they are just too complex. The beauty of 3D Arsenal is that it is simple, easy to use and the results are killer! I had to create a 15-second animation to run at the local theatre as an ad before the movies start. I was able to create a totally custom animation that rocked, and get paid the first day I used it! I love 3D Arsenal!"
