Presenter 3D provides technologies not available in most other products. This includes Multi-target Morphing, Directional 3D Sound, Real-time Surface edits, Wrap texture mapping, and real physics properties. On top of that you have one of the most powerful and intuitive spline-based modelers, a fast ray tracer, and a blazing Phong shader. In this section, VIDI treats you to the techniques and tricks that make effective use of these new technologies.
In the QTVR section, you will learn how QuickTime VR movies are constructed. You will see how easily QTVR movies can be created with Presenter 3D. No other applications or tools are required to create a QTVR panoram or object movie. You will see how NASA uses this capability to present the space station and Mars vehicles in explorable 3D imagery.
In the Real-time Surface EDit section, you will get a chance to see how Presenter 3D's real-time surface attribute selection makes surface editing, one of the most time consuming parts in 3D design, both quick and easy.
In the Multi-target Morph section, you will see how facial animations are made easy, how you sync morphing to sound to get accurate lip syncing, and how it is used with Presenter 3D' motion animaitors to simulate the flocking of birds with smooth wing motion.
In the Explosions section, you will be given the opportunity to see how exlosions are are defined and made even more effective with Presenter 3D's ability to sync motion effects to sound.
In the Directional 3D Sound section, you will see how directional mocrophones are assigned for capturing the Doppler Effect and will observe how sound is aplied to an object and animated to produce the complete visual and audio effect of a train roaring by.
