The software is made to feel familiar so you can learn it quickly and be productive right away. See the Product Details for more information or add the software to your cart to get started. At Zaxwerks we believe the key to workflow is familiarity.
We feel that if we give our users tools they are familiar with, they learn the program faster and can be more productive. To that end we've made 3D Invigorator operate as a plug-in for After Effects so you never have to leave your main program. The tools in 3D Invigorator act like tools you are already familiar with. If you know how to draw Bezier curves, like the ones you find in Illustrator or Photoshop, you already know how to model in 3D.
The modeling is done as you are drawing the curves so you can see exactly what you are getting as you draw. There is no guesswork and no multi-step process to learn. The models stay live so if you have to make changes, a quick adjustment to the curves will rebuild the model in 3D without you having to do anything.
This type of immediate feedback and easy control makes the modeling very familiar and friendly. It helps you feel at home right away. The most familiar animation controls are the ones you already know. Every animation system has its own peculiarities, so do you want to learn a whole new animation system or would you like to use one that has the controls you already know?
If you didn't have to learn a new system wouldn't it be easier to learn? There is no new animation system to learn, period. Light comes from somewhere, right? It doesn't just magically come from some invisible point in space. To help you create lighting that looks and acts real, 3D Invigorator PRO has lighting controls based on real world lights.
It's pretty cool. With a mouse click you can arrange your lights in a ring or on a truss. Then create industry standard fixtures like ellipsoidals, fresnels or motion control rigs with another click. One more click lets you see the beams coming from the lights, and a final click turns on lens flares. Think about it. But what makes it truly familiar is that all of this can be done using After Effects lights too.
This means you can position and animate your familiar AE 3D lights, and then get the trusses, light beams, fixtures and flares to go along with them. What could be more familiar than drag and drop? Adjusting the surface materials is done live with no need for rendering so the feedback is extremely fast and interactive. These are thumbnail pictures which encapsulate everything needed to model and surface a text or logo design. This lets you set up the look of a design and save it as a preset, after which you can completely model and surface any number of other versions by simply dropping the thumbnail onto your text or Illustrator shapes.
It will also feel the most familiar to you because it uses regular old Illustrator-style, Bezier curves. The program comes with over professional bevels to get you started. You can always edit them or create your own. The ability to create your own bevels can't be understated. This ensures your designs will always look fresh. As with modeling, the bevel drawing is live, so you see the final 3D model as you draw the bevels.
Bevels can be made of multiple pieces. They can also be divided so different materials can be applied to each part. In fact the term "bevel" doesn't begin to describe what's possible. Round-Tripping is what happens when you use After Effects with an external 3D program. You render a movie from the external program, import the movie into After Effects, maybe import the camera data too.
But then the client makes a change. So now you have to go back to your external program, make the changes, re-import the movie, re-import the camera data, fix whatever problems this causes, etc.
Each change creates another round-trip. Every round-trip is a headache that just wastes time. As an After Effects plug-in there is no time lost re-rendering, moving files back and forth or fixing mistakes. NOTE: If you run into any compatibility issues please contact us at support zaxwerks.

You can access the Invigorator design to make changes, but once you re-render you are essentially back to Photoshop pixels. Currently, Photoshop cannot export a SWF file.
Even if it could, keep in mind that your 3D Invigorator image would be pixel based, not vector based. AI format, Illustrator 10 option I made a starburst in Illustrator and tried to open that file in 3D Invigorator, but it didn't seem to work.
There is no file by that name anywhere on my computer. Most likely, this is due to the Illustrator file format. For 3D Invigorator to recognize an Illustrator file, you have to save as a. AI file format, not an. EPS or. Otherwise, 3D Invigorator will not recognize the file and will appear to not 'see' that file on your computer.

The grey interface area is empty. When I used the program as a demo, I did see those swatches. How can I reload them? First, quit Photoshop. Delete that '3D Invigorator PS' folder, which is a resource folder. Now restart Photoshop and apply 3D Invigorator to a new layer. Your swatches will reappear.
