- I'm looking for animation/video production software that would run on a 340GTX
- (Irix 4.0.4); something equivalent to the Wavefront Visualizer, for example.
- Desirable features include:
-
- * extensive drawing tools (plus text generation),
- * special effects (fades, software texture mapping, etc.),
- * ability to import various image/object formats (DXF, GIF, etc.),
- * easy-to-use, interactive animation tools,
- * interface to video boards and tape decks,
- * reliable customer support (upgrades, etc.)
-
- I'd appreciate it if anyone could suggest some products that they've had
- experience with, along with information on who to contact.
-
- (We're a university research group working on computer vision and we frequently
- need to present our results on video; this usually involves image sequences
- with graphics overlays, 3D animation, and charts. We're looking to do some
- evaluation at our site and may make a purchase in the next few months.)
-
- Thanks in advance.
