Posted by khashayar in 
Today 24 November 2008 a new style of personalized real-time 3D messages, Madlix 3DGreetings, is launched. The timing is excellent since Christmas and New Year’s is approaching, the time of year when most greetings are shared.
Mobile users worldwide download greetings from content portals, especially at Christmas and New Year’s holidays, to share with friends and family. This year Agency9 offers a new type of 3D enhanced greetings, Madlix 3DGreetings. The application is unique in its use of real-time 3D models allowing the user to freely rotate, zoom and move the model to any wanted position. The users can also utilize camera and recording features in their mobile device to create a background and a sound clip. The users can furthermore include their own text message as well as animations to add motion.
Madlix 3DGreetings is launched in more than 25 countries in Sony Ericsson’s “Fun & Downloads” portal, which confirms that Agency9 is continuing its approach as a leading company on the 3D visualization market.
“I’m very pleased to launch Madlix 3DGreetings. With 3DGreetings, Agency9 lets everyone create their own Christmas greeting cards in a new fascinating way”, says Khashayar Farmanbar CEO Agency9.
Madlix 3DGreetings are easy to create through a few simple steps. The user can choose to start quickly with a premade greeting from one of the editions or create a new greeting from scratch.
Initially three editions are available: Madlix X-mas 3DGreetings, Madlix 3DGreetings and Madlix Love 3DGreetings. These editions offer a number of cool and cute premade greeting cards. Each premade 3DGreeting consist of a 3D model, background, greeting text and sound.
3DGreetings are easily shared – everyone can receive a Madlix 3DGreeting. The greeting is sent as a 3D enhanced MMS message. Even if the receiver has not yet downloaded Madlix 3DGreetings a rendered greeting will be delivered.
