Product Information
Product Overview

Lifelike 3D illustration and animation have never been so awesome !
No question about it, 3D is here to stay. Stunning 3D imagery is everywhere -- on TV and in the movies, in print, and on the World Wide Web. To compete in today's market, every digital artist needs quality 3D tools to work with, tools that deliver professional results without a professional learning curve. And that's what you get with all-new Ray Dream Studio 5.

Tomorrow's 3D tool today!
Ray Dream Studio 5 takes 3D to a whole new level, providing an unbeatable combination of power, ease-of-use, and value. Studio's new interface makes working in 3D more like working with objects in the real world -- more intuitive and interactive than ever before. Poke, prod, and pull 3D models as if they were made of digital clay. Make hands-on adjustments to lights, cameras, and deformers and see the results in real-time, thanks to Studio's radically redesigned interactive renderer that's now up to 400% faster.

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

Awesome animation, endless extensions
Studio 5 is an animation powerhouse. Cutting-edge features like the Total Control Timeline and Inverse Kinematics put you in the director's chair. And Studio 5 now features physically-based animation, so you can generate realistic animation based on real-world physics. Incorporate factors such as gravity, velocity, friction-and collision detection, an exclusive feature that lets 3D objects "know" about each other. It's easy to make balls bounce off tables, feathers flutter to the floor and more. Studio's extensible architecture gives you access to compelling add-ons, both from MetaCreations and third-party developers. These add extra functions and hot new features, so your software is never out of date.

Complete your suite
Ray Dream Studio 5 is the essential 3D graphics application you need for your design suite. It provides all the tools you need for professional quality work, yet these powerful tools are easy and intuitive to use. Studio also supports most popular graphics standards, so you can freely import and export your creations into and out of your other applications.
