Summary:
3D Invigorator Classic is the most basic version of the Invigorator products, but it still packs a powerful feature set, including realtime 3D object previews, Object Styles, and Layer Maps. You can create objects using the 3D Text engine, or any of the powerful drawing tools. In addition, you can also import Illustrator outlines to generate advanced 3D objects.
3D Invigorator PRO contains all of the features of Invigorator Classic plus advanced object creation tools such as 3D Lathe objects, and the ability to draw your own custom bevels. The PRO version also has new materials styles, including Cartoon, Wireframe, and Shadow Catcher. The PRO version also has object deformation so you can bend, fold, or twist your objects in many exciting, new ways.
ProModeler is the tool for you if you want to create exciting 3D images from text, primitives, or Adobe Illustrator files. You get all of the Invigorator tools, including Object Styles, Edge Styles, and Material Styles along with a 3D camera and 3D lights so that you can generate compelling 3D imagery for your product marketing or web site.
ProAnimator is more than a powerhouse of a product. Not only does it provide all of the professional tools for creating high-quality 3D text and 3D objects as Invigorator PRO, ProAnimator contains a next generation animation system. Using easy-to-understand sliders and controls, you choose where you want your objects and how you want them arranged. Objects will animate from location to location, using timing and animation paths you set. Presets can be used for quick and easy motion. ProAnimator comes in two forms: a standalone application that can be used to create movies to be imported into other products, and as a plug-in for Adobe After Effects so that that you can create your animations right inside AE. The ProAnimator FX is a separate product that works as a plug-in for both Motion 3 & 4 and also Final Cut Pro 6 & 7. However, the ProAnimator FX does not work as a standalone application.
