Professional 3D power and speed At the heart of Studio 5 lies the new Mesh Form Modeler, a vertex-level modeler that gives you exquisite control over the contour and appearance of your models. You can generate models via extrusion, lathing, lofting and sweeping. A "sphere of attraction" tool deforms model surfaces through pushing and pulling actions. Boolean operations let you add or subtract geometric pieces to create virtually anything you can imagine. And a new set of volumetric and particle-based primitives, including fire, fog, clouds and fountains, lets you create and animate incredible natural effects. Cutting-edge rendering effects include the revolutionary Natural-Media renderer. Based on LiveStyles technology from ThinkFish Productions, it lets you create 3D graphics that resemble cartoons, paintings or sketches. Ultra-cool effects like visible light beams, glowing auras, depth-of-field and lens flare, give your finished images a startling realism. And if you're used to renderings that require seemingly endless hours to finish, you're in for a surprise. Studio 5 is blindingly fast, and it takes full advantage of today's faster hardware standards, including MMX and multi-processor computers. "The speed increase is just mind-boggling... redraws are almost instantaneous." -John Sledd, Sledd Studios |
