System Requirements
Holomatix Blaze 3D Studio System Requirements
Holomatix Blaze 3D Studio runs on Microsoft Windows computers and requires the following minimum specifications:
* 600 MHz Intel Pentium III processor or equivalent
* Windows 2000, Windows XP or above
* 256 MB RAM or greater
An Internet connection is required to receive periodic software updates from Holomatix and to access online support, tutorials and publishing services.
Holomatix Blaze Player Requirements
The content published from Holomatix Blaze 3D Studio runs on the Holomatix Blaze Player, which is a Java applet.
Java applets are supported on Microsoft Windows 95 SR1, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Apple Mac OS 9, Mac OS X and Unix/Linux.
