Xara 3D Maker v7.0.0.415 | 21 MB
With Xara 3D Maker you can create an endless variety of 3D graphics from TrueType fonts or imported 2D shapes, with simple controls to alter the extrude depth, lighting, bevel, color and texture, shadow, font size and type.And there's a whole range of animation possibilities including multi-page sequences and even animated 3D screensavers. Graphics are fully anti-aliased for the best possible on-screen quality and can be optimized for web use. Imports WMF/EMF, CorelXARA and Webster files, exports GIF, Flash, JPEG, PNG, AVI or BMP.
Xara 3D Maker is used both by professional web graphic designers and home computer users to make animated gifs, buttons, banner graphics and titles for presentations and web pages.
Here are some key features of "Xara 3D Maker (formerly Xara 3D)":
Creating and Importing:
· Text headings can use any TrueType font
· Full text control, including alignment, superscript, line spacing, tracking and kerning values for individual characters or over whole selections
· Instant access to full character sets from within the text dialog
· Create non-text headings by importing 2D graphics as Windows metafiles (WMF and EMF) or CorelXARA/Webster files (XAR and WEB) and extruding the outlines
· An automatic design-making tool instantly converts any text heading into a button, board or board with holes
· Full anti-aliasing for the best possible on-screen display quality
Editing and Applying Special Effects:
· Interactive control over the 3D extrude depth - simply click and drag on the image
· Unlimited undo makes experimentation easy
· Real-time 3D positioning around three axes by simply dragging the image on screen
· Areas of text can be selected, and different attributes such as bevel, color, fonts, textures, animation and text settings applied
· The Style Picker allows you to easily grab any or all of the settings of one image and apply them to another
· A total of 27 different bevel types with adjustable bevel size
· Interactive, easy-to-use lighting controls (three adjustable light arrows which can be dragged on-screen)
