Thank you for your interest in Adobe Photoshop™ compatible plug-ins by Andromeda Software Inc. Our Filters are available for both MacOS and Windows 95/98/NT platforms.
We are pleased to provide you with the Andromeda Three-D Luxe Filter Demo™ product. This Demo will allow you full use of the features of the Three-D Luxe filter, with a limited library of 3-D Textures. One Texture in each of the categories has been released for use with this Demo. The others are scrollable for viewing, but may not be selected or rendered.
The previous (Series 2) Three-D Filter has been very popular for its easy step into 3-D, convenience within Photosop, and its highly regarded production output quality. It will continue to be offered as a downloadable product which can be purchased online and then upgraded to the Three-D Luxe version as needed by calling Andromeda Software for the cost and shipping details. The Three-D Luxe version is offered only as a CD product due to its file size.
The Three-D Luxe Filter version is a vastly extended version of the Andromeda (Series 2) Three-D Filter™.
If you are familiar with previous versions of the Three-D Filter, this represents a major upgrade of its features and capabilities. Because of the richness of the features in this program and its innovative nature, we provide you with two User Interfaces. The Three-D Geometry UI, for surface wrapping, which you will recognize if you own a previous version of this product, This UI provides the viewpoint, sizing and lighting controls for wrapping images onto 3-D surfaces (cylinder, box, sphere, and plane). This combined with the new 3-D Sculpting UI allows the surfaces to be sculpted, colored, and combined using your own photo or texture alone or in combination with one of the more than 200 3-D textures, and 35 presets provided within the Filter. The exciting new Dropout feature renders some extremely dramatic and beautiful 3-D effects by allowing you to drop out parts of your image or texture and reveal the surface or image behind it!
We hope that you will find this new upgrade both exciting and easy to use.
Installation - This version requires a PPC Macintosh
During installation, the installer searches your computer for Photoshop. If it is found, the installer asks you if you want to install the filter for use with Photoshop. If you answer Yes, the installer will install the filter to your Photoshop:Plug-Ins:Filters folder automatically. If you answer No or Photoshop isn't found, the installer asks you where you'd like to install the filter. If you are installing the filter for use with a non-Photoshop host, instruct the installer where the host's plug-ins folder is located. If you aren't sure, check the manual of your host program to find out how to install plug-ins.
