Strata 3Dpro? (2002) is 3D modeling, texturing, animation, and
rendering software. Its predecessors, [StrataVision 3D][1] and [Strata
Studio Pro][2] were famously used to produce the game [Myst][3] and
media for [Episode 0: First Encounter (1995)][4] of [The Sinkha
Project][5]. Its release was distinctive in the dizzying array of
haphazardly-named products as it was the first Strata app that was
[Carbon][6]ized to work in Mac OS X. Retail price (2002): $695.

## DOWNLOAD #3

This [File Buddy][8] droplet compressed to a Stuffit legacy .sit may
be used to set file type / creator codes for the Toast image in the
event it appears as a generic document in the Finder. Toast 5.2.3
mounted the generic image sans codes. File type / creator codes should
be:

File Type: | GImg
---|---
Creator Code: | CDr3

## EPILOGUE

While many online sources spell ?Strata 3Dpro? as ?Strata 3D Pro,? the
missing space between ?3D? and ?pro? is consistent with archive.org
legacy snapshots of Strata?s website.
