Electric Rain's Swift 3D® MAX and Swift 3D® LW are rendering plug-ins that are accessed from within the main interface of 3ds max™ or LightWave® 3D and provide the user with all of the rendering power Swift 3D is known for. Once a Swift 3D Plug-in has been installed, you will find all of the Swift 3D rendering settings can be accessed from the same area as your 3D program's render dialog. From here you can adjust what type of file you want to render, as well as what that file will look like based on the various output options you choose.
·ÊVector Rendering with RAViX III
The industry-leading vector rendering engine supplies the most advanced capabilities for vector output to the SWF file format, along with EPS, AI and SVG. New features like reflections, transparency, complex shadows and advanced specularity, along with the existing outline, cartoon and gradient output options, all add up to provide the most realistic vector output available.
·ÊVector Rendering Features:
* 3 Outline Levels -Outline, Mesh and Hidden Lines
* 5 Cartoon Levels - One, Two, Four, and Full, + Average Fill
* 2 Gradient Levels - Area and Mesh Shading
* Complex shadowing - Multiple shadows, Self, Plane, and Object Casting
* Advanced Specular Highlights - Adjustable specular levels
* Transparency - Adjustable alpha level
* Reflections - Adjustable reflection depths
·ÊRaster Rendering to SWF
Swift 3D Plug-ins include a brand new export technology that outputs raster-based SWF files for easy publishing to the Web. Now you can render photorealistic animations with complete support for texturing, transparency, reflection and refraction, for those situations where ultimate quality is crucial to your project's success. Exported files are automatically cropped to their smallest possible size and provide transparent backgrounds when imported into Macromedia Flash for seamless integration with your projects.
* Texturing
* Transparency
* Reflection and Refraction
* Auto-cropping technology
* Transparent backgrounds for seamless integration with Flash projects
·ÊSmartLayer™ Technology Streamlines Workflow and Provides Tightest Integration Possible With Flash MX and Flash MX 2004.
Electric Rain's ground-breaking (and patent pending) SmartLayer Technology separates different aspects of your vector renderings into individual layers, which can then be imported into Macromedia Flash MX or MX 2004. The Swift 3D Importer enables a direct import into the Flash Library of Swift 3D-rendered files in the .SWFT format. The separated layers greatly enhances the flexibility of 3D integration with any of your Flash projects and reduces overall file size in scenes with both stationary and motion objects. The Swift 3D Importer for Macromedia Flash MX and MX 2004 is automatically installed if either version of Flash is detected during installation. SmartLayers Created in Flash MX or MX 2004:
* Transparency Layer
* Specular Highlight Layer
* Reflections Layer
* Shadows Layer
* Outline Motion Layer
* Outline Stationary Layer
* Color Motion Layer
* Color Stationary Layer
·ÊExports The Widest Variety of File Formats:
* SmartLayer Export (SWFT)
* Macromedia Flash (SWF)
* Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
* Adobe® Illustrator® (AI)
* Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
* USAnimation (PNT)
·ÊAdditional Rendering Features:
* Plugs in seamlessly with 3ds max and LightWave 3D rendering interface
* Respects all lighting, cameras and animations
* Built-in optimization creates smallest possible files
* Accurate with models well over 200,000 polygons
* Performs per-frame cropping on all raster output
* Tightest Integration with Macromedia Flash MX and MX 2004 through the Swift 3D Importer
