Animated concept logo for the South Florida Water Management District's “River of Grass” theme. Although you’d want to avoid any mis-spellings or typos in your final product - in the case of conceptual designs - you don’t want to give away the farm. An intentional mistake of this kind at this stage is often overlooked, and is an easy method of “watermarking” the files you must send to a prospective client - making them virtually unusable. Consider it superior to sending low-res versions that don’t do your work justice, or watermarked versions that obscure and interfere with the viewing experience through annoying visual “overlays”.

Although AT&T Labs’ MacTOPAS 3-D all-in-one modeling, rendering, and animation software had come to the Macintosh platform, the Electric Image Animation System could render large polygonal models at incredible speeds. From 1994-1996, the “Eaton House” graced cover pages of Viewpoint 3-D catalogs, where mac design solutions, inc. was frequently one of the featured artists in literature and promotions from 3-D broker Viewpoint.
