Meshbox Design Announces NORAD's Selection of ToonSanta for Santa Spotting of 2005

TOONSANTA FOR POSER GREETS SANTA WATCHERS IN 2005

December 28, 2005. Meshbox Design is proud to announce that the public relations office of NORAD, North American Aerospace Defense Command, selected Meshbox Design's ToonSanta to adorn its tracking website for Santa sightings in year 2005. NORAD is a joint operation between the United States and Canada for aerospace airspace control and early warning.

NORAD's special Santa tracking website (http://www.noradsanta.org/) utilizes NORAD's 47 tracking stations in the United States and Canada to track the travel behavior of the world's most popular purveyor of holiday cheer, and the heat signature given off by the nose of his leading reindeer. More recent innovations by NORAD in the tracking of flying sleighs include NORAD's SantaCam.

"It’s a proud moment for Meshbox Design to learn of the selection of ToonSanta, whom is himself a multinational creation by designers from America, Japan and Ukraine and our staff artist Yuriy Pestov" said Chikako Hatanaka, Director of the Meshbox Design division of Proactive International.

ToonSanta is a 3D model designed for use with e-frontier's (http://www.e-frontier.com) Poser 6 3D human art and animation software for MacOS X and Windows. Artists can use ToonSanta in Poser to create fun holiday artwork and animation. ToonSanta can be licensed directly from Meshbox Design (http://www.meshbox.com) for $17.50 or through reseller partners Content Paradise (http://www.contentparadise.com) and Renderosity (http://www.renderosity.com). ToonSanta's good friend ToonCupid is available prior to February 14, 2005 though NORAD has yet to deploy any inter-continental love meters.
