Status: Partially Found

It went defunct around 2001 when Pulse Entertainment shifted focus to mobile and communication projects. Their clients include Warner Bros, The Jim Henson Company, Budweiser, Mattel, NBC, Electronic Arts, Rokenbok and more.
Technology
Pulse 3D was designed to stream 3D characters and models over the internet with bone deformation, lip syncing, target morphing, adaptive smoothing, texture mapping, rendering, lighting, animation and scripting. The file sizes were around 330KB, making it easy to stream, and the files would be cached on the user's computer. The editing tool was known as "Pulse Creator". Known file formats are PWS and PWC.
