Announcing ProAnimator 6. Start living in the future, today!

You won’t believe this upgrade. ProAnimator 6 has features that let you create animations like you’ve never seen before!

Our new Ray Trace renderer produces ultra-cool pictures, with reflections of objects in other objects, smooth realistic shadows, and glass refractions. Mmmmm. Sweet, sweet pictures.

New workflow features include the ability to trace pictures then map the picture back onto the object with one click; the ability to turn whole folders of images into 3D objects; and the ability to collect all project related files if you have to move the project from one computer to another. If you’re not a 3D-techie this means it’s now easier than ever to turn client artwork into flying 3D objects.

Best of all in version 6 are the new Object Fragmentation features. This set of features lets you slice, chop or crack your 3D objects into little fragments. Big deal, most 3D programs can do this, right? Not even close. What ProAnimator does is to turn fragmentation into a design tool where you can change your mind as the design evolves. Slice your logos into planks, strips, cubes, chips, chunks or shards. No pre-planning required. Change the fragmentation, change the text getting fragmented, change the bevels, change the color, change anything at anytime for the greatest flexibility imaginable. Click here for the Fragmentation tutorial.

ProAnimator 6 has also added more animation controls especially designed to take advantage of the thousands of pieces generated by the fragmentation features. So now you can take your thousands of fragments and spin, tumble, whip and cascade them in cooler, fresher and more eye-catching ways than before. Spill the fragments into the screen and watch them assemble into your logo. Drop the fragments and watch one word turn into another. This can be done with any text, logo or imported 3D object.

Stop for a moment and realize that now you can design on the fly with fragments as easily as full objects. It’s like a particle system that’s easy and fun to control and completely real-time and interactive. It’s all waiting at your fingertips to give your work an exciting edge over your competition.

    Any chance you have some videos in the works to show all this off?

    Hi John,

    We’ve added two new tutorials. One on Fragmentation and the other on Ray Tracing Refractions. Be sure to check them out!

    i was wondering. do u have any examples of the new ray tracing feature.. i would like to see how its compared to full 3d softwares. is it really true that objects reflect on each other in the scene ..
    i would like to see that cuz i think it will be a great feature to have in after effects..

    thank you .

    Hi Meda,

    Currently, we do not have a video tutorial about Ray Trace Reflectivity. However, if you take a look at the page below, we do have many images that show off the Ray Trace Reflectivity.

    http://zaxwerks.com/proanimator/details.shtml

    For example, the Automatic Object Creation section shows a reflective floor that reflects all the images, and the Grid Shader section also shows a reflective tile flooring. We are really proud of how the Ray Trace Renderer turned out and it should be comparable to anything you see in the market.

    The best way though, is to download a demo and see for yourself. To do this, please visit our download page below:

    We think you’ll have a lot of fun with the Ray Trace Renderer and also the Object Fragmentation. The presets are a ton of fun to play with.

    Best,
    Edward

  5. [...] 新機能はレンダリングに関する部分が3D Invigoratorとほぼ同じ内容になっていますね。また、オブジェクトを粉砕というか断片に分割してアニメーションできる機能が搭載されました。 [...]
