-=Artform 3D=- Playback utility program
---------------------------------------
Description
-----------
Artform 3D is a sofware tool which may be used to create 3D animation.
The user freindly environment contains a complete set of utilities for
producing high quality presentations. Artform 3D is suitable for
advertising, education or any number of other applications.
Artform 3D animations may feature any number of realistic 3D objects
navigating their way through a virtual universe. The surface of an object
may reflect the light from many sources. The scene may be viewed from a
camera which glides through space and spins in every direction.
Details for the objects, the camera, and the light sources are written
using a high level language which is simple, powerful and flexible. There
are virtually no limitations to the complexity of the animations that may
be created using Artform 3D.
Artform 3D is more than just another animation package, it represents the
new standard for generating three dimensional animated graphics. Artform
3D is simple to use, it provides a very comfortable working environment
and it offers a powerful set of tools for drawing in three dimensions.
