It reduces your SWF files by 60 to 70 percent, thanks to amazing algorithms of vectors, shapes, morphing, Z-buffering, fonts, and other optimizations. Unlike similar software, Flash Optimizer optimizes not just part of your Flash movie, but the whole SWF, including curves, zero objects, and ZLib optimization. It provides the simplest and customizable user interface with two types of compression configurations, simple and profound, allowing you to customize more than 50 separate options, reaching the optimum compression with minimum quality loss. Version 1.48 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes. Editor's review of Flash Optimizer If you use an authoring tool, such as Macromedia Flash, to produce rich content for the Web, your SWF files are probably larger than they need to be. This design utility provides a full range of compression functions that can dramatically reduce the size of your Flash-based content, giving you precise control over every aspect of your project for optimal results. Those results are impressive. We shaved nearly 250KB off a 350KB SWF file containing fonts, vector graphics, and raster images with no noticeable degradation in quality. Only after selecting the highest possible compression settings were we able to seriously muck up our SWF file. The configurable user interface provides a selection of layout options that make it easy to work on a wide variety of projects, from small buttons to full-screen interfaces. On the downside, the program does not provide an easy way to preview results or view the file sizes of graphics after they have been optimized. This program needs small refinements such as a preview function, but the extensive control and impressive results it offers may leave you wondering how you ever got by without it.

Building a 3D movie is hard work--see if you've got what it takes. Features: more undo/redo control; improved transform options; improved reliability with Windows Me. Version 2.2.10 DL is a minor upgrade that fixes a potential bug related to software expiration. Editor's review of Animoids 3D Movie Maker The mainstream of animation is fast moving away from traditional cartoons to 3D graphics. This program provides a shortcut into the complex world of 3D character modeling, providing a set of starter models, textures, movie sets, and scenes that can be combined to form the foundation of an animated video. The basic figure created through this piecework process can be controlled by mouse clicks, and given motion and personality. Different pieces of the body can be duplicated and reattached to form unique characters. We found a few quirks in the animation templates--the female figure looks much younger than the male counterpart, for example. The program takes some time and study to master, with an extraordinarily broad set of features, and a minimal help file. Nevertheless, we would highly recommend it to beginners in the complicated field of computer animation.

You can use a built-in image editor or any standalone graphics editor to create image files that will assemble into GIF animation. The program supports JPEG, BMP, ICO, PNG and GIF files. Version 4.0 supports PNG image file and export frame image.Editor's review of Longtion GIF Animator For a pure shareware application, Longtion GIF Animator shows surprising polish. The installer makes a good first impression, running quickly and offering to launch the program. The application interface is well-executed; it hides obscure commands in the menus and places more common ones on the toolbar in the form of large, attractive buttons, well-marked with tool tips. Individual animation frames run vertically on the left side. Clicking a frame calls it up in the Compose window, where you can modify it with a standard set of drawing and painting tools. Another click switches you to the Preview window for a look at the finished animation. However, the lack of a step-by-step wizard means you may have to read the tutorial before plunging in. The application also boasts easy-to-use tools for creating simple text animations and slide shows in the GIF format. Be aware the demo version slaps a watermark on your GIFs. For that reason, we recommend this software to developers who will try before buying.

Image Video Machine is image-to-video and video-to-image converting software. You can use this tool to create your own video files from separate image files, such as making an animated GIF. You also can extract all frames of a video file into separate image files with this tool. There are many advanced features in Image Video Machine such as an image file list, the ability to drag and drop to add image or video files, and splitting and extracting of images from a video file. The following image formats are supported (create video from): JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, PCX, WMF, EMF, TIFF, TGA, RAS, and J2K. The following video formats are supported (extract images from): AVI (DivX, XviD, MPEG-4, Uncompressed, and Cinepak), MPEG (MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Video), and WMV. Version 3.1 fixes the repeating image bug.Editor's review of Image Video Machine How's this for a screenshot? This program takes digital images and transforms them into video, and vice versa. A straightforward interface has little character but sufficient features to make the process easy to complete. For video creation, all you have to do is drop files into the main window, adjust for frames per second and screen size, and choose video format--and you're set. Although the program claims to support AVI, MPEG, and WMV files, we only were successful in getting Image Video Machine to recognize AVI. To cut images from video, select file format, images per second, and then file destination. You also can view all completed projects, whether video or image, through the program. For quality video or image projects, we recommend giving Image Video Machine a test run.

Creature Creator Pro saves time and money for game developers. It lets you assemble creatures and humans from a predefined library of more than 500 body parts within minutes--or seconds, if you're using the random button. You can export your creations to all 3D software in 3DS, DXF, or OBJ format.Editor's review of Creature Creator Pro Designed to assist in the creation of animated characters, this application provides a nice set of tools, despite its less-than-desirable trial limitation. The tabbed interface couldn't be described as elegant, but it will make sense to even novice designers. After selecting from character categories such as fantasy, female, male, and insect, you choose different body parts, such as face, ears, thighs, nose, and fingers, The ability to adjust any body part along its X, Y, and Z parameters helps you further customize your character, and creatures can be viewed in smooth, flat, or wireframe modes. However, the demo not only limits the available body parts, but it also won't let you export your designs. Considering this program's rather steep $295 price tag, prospective buyers may wish for more robust trial functionality. Creature Creator best suits video-game designers and junior animators.

Purpose: Creates GIF Animations. File types: GIF, BMP, JPG, JPEG, AVI, MOV, PIC, PCX, TRGA, RGB, CEL, TIF, TIFF, PCD, PSD, PDD, WAV, MID Info: New generation of GIF animation. The best optimization.

Effect3D Studio provides designers of all levels the ability to create professional-looking 3D animated graphics. A real-time 3D preview window provides a WYSIWYG editing environment. To add effects to your project, drag-and-drop from the hundreds of backgrounds, 3D objects, rendering effects, material settings, and lighting and animation effects available from the content galleries, plus manually adjust various settings and parameters to achieve your desired effect. The 3D Text tool allows you to create your own 3D objects just by typing in text, or you can use the Import 3D Object function to import any 3D object created in the popular 3DS format.Editor's review of Effect3D Studio If you have the system resources to spare, Effect3D Studio does a good job of bringing flat images into the third dimension. A huge number of GIF-format files come with the program, so allow plenty of time and disk space for installation. A variety of effects can be applied to the program's sample images or those you've created, including rendering, and animation, lighting. It's easy to preview and undo effects. Memory resources do get taxed, and performance can be slow. Given that, we wouldn't recommend this program for hobbyists, but digital artists will find much to appreciate in Effect3D Studio.
