Digital Anarchy, a leading provider of creative tools for Adobe and Apple products, today announced the release of 3D Invigorator 5.0 for Adobe Photoshop. Co-developed with Zaxwerks Inc, this popular 3D design tool lets artists create sophisticated 3D objects, logos, illustrations and text in only minutes. The new 3D Invigorator 5.0 offers time-saving features like the new Object Editor vector tools, as well as updated Photoshop CS5/5.1 and 64-bit compatibility.
The most valuable new feature is 3D Invigorator’s ability to fully edit and create vector shapes and text in its Object Editor. Using imported Illustrator files or designing objects from scratch, it is now possible to create sophisticated 3D designs using the new built-in Pen tool and the familiar automatic 3D extrusion. Once a 3D object is created, new Material Editor and Texture Mapping options give faster rendering and better looking 3D models. Additional new features like customized Lighting effects, GradientWerks for color choices, and Font Browser previews give you a professional and streamlined 3D creation process.
"3D Invigorator has long been known as the best 3D title creator and
logo modeler for any 2D visual designer or special effects artist," said
Zax Dow, president of Zaxwerks. "The new ability to edit vector objects
and text directly in 3D Invigorator really takes it to the next level
of 3D design, and lets you create stunning 3D objects in Photoshop.”
Exciting new features of 3D Invigorator 5.0 include:
Object Editor/Creation: A full vector editing/drawing program
within Invigorator lets you easily create or edit shapes with familiar
drawing tools.
Import Illustrator Files: Illustrator support is greatly improved
with direct editing of simple or complex Illustrator files in the Object
Editor.
Material Editor: Combine multiple textures using new Material
Editor options, including Blend Modes, Texture Maps and the new
Procedural Textures.
Procedural Textures: Create textures directly within Invigorator
by layering noise types to create sophisticated, fast rendering,
resolution-independent textures.
Texture Mapping: Create more realistic looking designs by mapping
textures onto your 3D object in a variety of ways, including full object
wrap-around.
Material Presets: Get easy design solutions with over 100
different Material presets like gold, chrome, glass, lacquer and puffy
surfaces.
GradientWerks: Zaxwerk’s new tool for creating gradients gives you a
mind-boggling variety of colors to build 3D materials and styles.
Custom Lighting: Lights can be aimed in any 3D direction for
creative flexibility, letting you design effects like art deco, mood
lighting, rim lights, high keys or color washes.
Improved Font Support: Postscript, TrueType, and OpenType fonts are
now supported, and all fonts can be viewed with the WYSIWYG Font
Browser and edited in the Object Editor.
64-Bit Support: Now fully compatible with Photoshop CS5/5.1 and 64-bit Mac and Windows operating systems. Hooray!
Workflow Improvements: New workspace options and tabbed panels give a streamlined and customizable environment.
