Traditional 3D programs are notoriously difficult to use and understand. Not so Xara3D. Unlike much modern 'bloatware' that offers more features than are ever likely to be used, and take an age to learn and understand, Xara3D has been created to perform one job, and performs that job with style, speed, and slick simplicity.

Xara3D is the Number 1 tool for creating stunning, professional-quality 3D web graphics. Ideal for both still and animated 3D headings and titles, logos and buttons, perfect for web pages, mailshots and online presentations
 
Features
  • Creating and Importing:Text headings can use any TrueType font. Nine fonts are included in the trial download and there are 60 on the CD. Simply select the font from the drop down menu and type away, you'll create your first heading in seconds!
  • Full text control, including alignment, sub- & 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)
  • Flexible interactive controls over the color and/or texture of every part of the image, and the background
  • A total of 37 textures are included in the download, and there are 400+ on the CD-ROM you receive when you purchase. You can also import your own GIF or PNG files
  • Textures can be scaled, rotated and colored

  • Images can be matte or shiny
  • Images can have a soft-edged shadow and an intuitive interface allows you to easily alter the shadow blur, transparency and color
  • Real-time solid shading with optional error-diffusion dithering for top quality results.
  • Animation:Images can be animated in many different ways such as Rotate, Fade, Pulsate, Step, Fade and Swing, using a simple interface
  • The Animation Picker lets you easily copy the animation settings of one image to another.
  • Apply different animations to individual characters or sections of text
  • Step-through multi-page animations of different images
  • The number of frames in a sequence, the rotation direction, the speed, pause and number of loops can all be selected through simple controls
  • An animation time line allows you to step through each frame, pause and export a single frame
  • Lights and text can be rotated separately
  • Great for creating animated buttons.
  • Outputs JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG (including full PNG alpha channel), ICO (icon), CUR (cursor), animated GIF, AVI and SWF (vector and bitmap)
  • Any 3D animation can also be exported as a screensaver
  • Optional background transparency
  • Color reduction and palette-optimization for maximum quality with the smallest file size, ideal for web pages and presentations.
