Congratulations on Invigorator, but when will 3D warp be done? I have a huge project that desperately needs that updated. I’ve been switching between CS3 and CS5 to get it done, but its really slowing down my process. Getting frustrated. There is no good excuse for how long these updates have taken.

Hi Kevin,
I see you own both Invigorator PRO and the Warps. In Invigorator version 5, warping is actually included in the program. So, you can create planes, map them, and warp them like you do in 3D Warps.
We are now focusing on releasing all of our other plug-ins. So, we’re expecting we’ll be able to release all the other plug-ins within the next few months.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Edward
Thanks for getting this release out for Mc CS5 – I have been watching for some time in anticipation!
This app must be GREAT as I went ahead and purchased the upgrade last week for AE-CS5 before it was even available! Never done that with ANY software, but ProAnimator totally rocks!
Just installed on Mac Pro Quad Core Intel Xeon 2,8 GHZ running OS 10.6.7 – so far working fine.
Now if I can just get a CS5 version of FLAG I will be set, but this was the BIG ONE!

Is Invigorator 5 compatible with AE 5.5? It installed but when I try to use it I get a spinning beach ball and I then have to force quit the application.
Hi Paul,
3D Invigorator PRO is compatible with After Effects CS5.5. Be sure you are using the latest version of the plug-in (v5.0.9). If you are not using the latest version, please go to the Support > Download Software page to download the latest version of the plug-in.
If you’re still running into problems, please e-mail me at ed@zaxwerks.com and let me know what you’re running into.
Best,
Edward
