Button Magic lets you create beautifully rendered, antialiased images of buttons with 2D or 3D text labels. You can turn these images into real "buttons" by adding links to them to provide functionality. You can also use Button Magic images to present high-quality eye-catching text for titling purposes. Note that you can use a virtually unlimited set of fonts for Button Magic text (as explained in Tips); also keep in mind that you don't need a button to have antialiased text (or vice versa).
The following image shows the collection of buttons supplied with Button Magic. Note that they all use an alpha channel so that they blend correctly with the background (you can specify the background against which your buttons are rendered, for flawless compositing). Of course, you have complete control over what your buttons look like: You can choose among various shapes (or create your own if you can edit Inventor files [see Tips]), and you can alter the appearance of any button in endless combinations by choosing lighting effects, colors, and textures.
