Speed is everythingÊ--Êand that's what ProModeler excels at. Think what it would be like if you were able to cut 80% off the time you spend modeling? ProModeler creates the models for you. ProModeler is a standalone application that allows you to create professional-looking 3D models with ease. You have access to all of the features of ProAnimator but without the animation capabilities. For those users not needing the animation tools in ProAnimator, or the integration with After Effects, this product is for you. You can either generate your images using the high quality renderer or you can export your 3D models into other 3D packages. If you are new to 3D, this is the program that will make sense. If you are experienced in 3D, modeling will suddenly become the fastest part of the process instead of the slowest. The ProAnimator interface has been completely revamped. This lets you customize the workspaces in whatever ways you want, and allows you to jump from one workspace to another easily with the use of workspace buttons. With the new workspace setup, you can open or close as many, or as few panels as you need. This enables you to create complex workspaces where you have access to all the controls at once, or set up simple workspaces where you only need a few controls at a time. Resizable/Repositional panels lets you position every panel so that it's the right size and position. You can also preserve workspace by placing panels into tabs. To maximize a panel, hit the the ~ tilde key. This lets you quickly fine tune all those little details. Features:
· Change any part of the model at any time
· Create your own Custom Edge Profiles
· Encapsulate modeling/material set-ups with Object Styles
· Render images for print, video, and the web
· Apply decal, bump, transparency and reflection textures
· Show a model changing shape over time with Layer Cycling Realtime Drawing Tools
Use familiar tools such as the Pen, Pencil, Shape, Text, Selection to build and edit professional logos. New vector drawing tools such as the Auto-curve, Corner Rounding, and Parametric Shapes lets you build objects faster than ever. The Auto-curve tool is a Pen-tool that automatically smoothes out the curves that you draw. The Cornering tools allow you to drag on any corner, and transforms it into a rounded corner or curve. Customizable Parametric shapes enables you to create simple shapes quickly, and edit them by changing the parameters. You can now edit imported Adobe Illustrator files directly within 3D Invigorator PRO. This means, if there's a little curve that needs tweaking, you can adjust the bezier curves right inside the drawing window. There's no need to switch between programs. Many keyboard shortcut commands have been implemented so you can switch effortlessly between the most commonly used tools such as the pen tool, convert anchor point tools, or the point selection tools. Creating cutout is also an easy process. Put shapes into the same layer, and by overlapping one shape with another, the program is smart enough to know which shape to cut out. Draw bevels in the new Profile Editor window. Any shape or design you create in the profile editor instantly gets applied to your object. You can also save and load any custom bevels that you create, and edit the bevels with any of the vector tools in the drawing window. Object List
The Object List allows you to quickly move objects from one Object Track to another by dragging. This lets you organize your objects quickly, and also set up parenting and grouping easily. The Object List Preview window also lets you preview your objects so you know exactly what you are editing. The Editor View Sets enable you to save up to eight separate View Sets. Each View Set lets you customize layer settings such as the Layer Visibility, Lock, Editor Visibility, and Object Solo. Switch between different view sets to avoid having to toggle all the settings on and off over and over. New Object Creation buttons allows you to create objects with just a single click. This also enables you to convert vector shapes to Lathe Objects, and vice versa, group and ungroup objects, and delete layers with ease. 3D Text Handling
The 3D text engine can use Post Script Type 1, True Type, and Open Type fonts that reside on your computer system to directly create 3D models using any of the 100 edge bevels included with the program. The Font Preview list shows you what a font looks like, without having to first select the font. Using the up/down arrows, you can quickly preview your text with the selected font. To jump quickly to a font, type letters in the font list. Typing "t" will jump you to "Tahoma,"and adding an "r" will bring you to "Trebuchet". Each letter can have its own font, size, kerning, tracking, baseline shift, horizontal and vertical scale, colour, bevel, position and depth. But the most astounding hallmark to this feature is the ability to change the text at any phase of the production process and retain the colour, modelling and animation. Also, with the new feature to save a Font Favorite, you can save all the font information such as the Font Size, Kerning, and Spacing. This means that after the first version of a promo is created, 50 other versions can be created by simply changing the text. The new 3D text will retain the same coloring, text attributes, 3D bevelling, texture map placement and even the animation data. This makes for an unbelievably fast production process when many changes or extra versions are needed. In addition, 3D Text objects can be edited directly within the drawing window. This means you can edit the bezier curves of each text character to make instant changes to the shapes of the 3D text objects. But guess what? The text objects are still live, so if you need to make text changes, like fix a spelling or add a word, you can still do it and all of your bezier edits will remain intact. What? That's right, this is the first and only place you can find this level of editability and flexibility in handling text. 3D Text Substitution
If you are interested in making money, this is the feature for you. Text substitution lets you set up an animation once then create variations by simply changing the words in a text file. This means you can create a template animation and render, literally, hundreds of variations without having to rebuild every animation. For instance if you have to build a title graphic for the head of every department, just set the animation up once, then create a text file including every department head's name, department name, office location or anything else you wanted to include. During rendering the data is substituted, automatically turned into 3D text objects and animated just like the original. This is truly a high-productivity workhorse feature. Manufacturer: Zaxwerks |
