Xara 3D 6.0 | 56 MB
Xara3D is solely designed to create the highest quality 3D text and graphics, such as logos, titles, headings and buttons. It's the perfect way to add impact to your web pages, mailshots and presentations (all images are fully anti-aliased for that smooth, professional quality). Xara3D can also create awesome 3D animations in seconds - GIFs, AVIs and simple Flash movie sequences - and you can even enhance your desktop by saving any animation as a screensaver!
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 - see screenshot
•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 - see examples - the Webster drawing package is included free with Xara3D!
•An automatic design-making tool instantly converts any text heading into a button, board or board with holes see screenshot - see examples
•Full anti-aliasing for the best possible on-screen display quality.
