Here’s an image from the new 3D Invigorator PRO/ProAnimator 5 interface showing some of the new material controls. If you’re not a 3D person this image can look overwhelming but usually everything isn’t open all at the same time. Once you get used to it you can open up the panels like you see in this image which lets you see lots of information very quickly. The panel configuration is saveable as workspaces so you can size them to your own monitor and recall them from the buttons across the bottom of the window.
Here are a few highlights:
- Unlimited stackable shaders for each texture channel.
- Blend modes for shader compositing.
- Alpha channels for each shader.
- A bin for storing material swatches.
- Live interactive mapping controls.
- Interactive splitting of objects into mapping regions.
- A very advanced gradient creator.
- 30 procedural noises for adding streaks, bumps, dots, squiggles and many other effects.
- Tool tips explaining what each control does.
Awesome… The only thing I’m noticing ui wise is that th scroll bar isn’t very aesthetically pleasing. It looks very boxy. I don’t know if it’s too late to even change but just wanted to throw it your way. But either way I’m excited.
Things like scroll bars and buttons will get a makeover once everything has been converted and made CS5-compatible. For now just think “Industrial”
Cool. Then industrial.. FREAKING AWESOME.. Glad to be a pro animator user and looking forward to my cs5 version. You guys rock.
Please guys – We need Proanimator5 Fast, and we NEED IT 64BIT ASAP ~
Features are Great and we dearly embrace them. But we NEED SPEED – 64 BIT will help provide that.
The MAC has been 64 Bit for Years.
If you are RE-DOING IT – GO 64 BIT!!!
Can I be transparent – Even Going 64 bit is NOT ENOUGH!!!
Truthfully – We NEED 10 – 20 Times FASTER ANIMATION RENDERING!
On the NOW List – The Next Upgrade list, well MORE FEATURES AND EVEN FASTER ANIMATION RENDERING!!!
What do MAC Professionals desperately NEED? Real Time Rendering – That is Your Next Goal, on a MAC Dual Core Tower (or Newer) or Latest MACbook Air…
Then – You are as good as it gets ~
Rendering a 30 Second 1080P Animation in 24 ++ Hours $&$*#(^&$*&^( – Sorry for the sheer frustration….
