Digital Anarchy (http://www.digitalanarchy.com/), a provider of
special effects software for Adobe and Apple products, has released a
3D design tool for use in Adobe Photoshop. Co-developed with Zaxwerks
3D Invigorator for Photoshop allows artists to create complex 3D
objects, logos and text.
3D Invigorator starts with Adobe Illustrator outlines or text
generated within Photoshop, gives the object depth, and then sculpts
the graphic into a “3D masterpiece,” says Zax Dow, president of
Zaxwerks. Photoshop artists can use the vector tools in Invigorator
for real-time changes to their 3D objects. They can also access its
built-in text engine to transform True Type and Type 1 fonts, and
take advantage of Photoshop features like Smart Objects and Smart
Filters.
3D Invigorator for Photoshop is regularly priced at US$199, but will
be available for an introductory discount of $149 through April 30.
The product works in Photoshop CS2 and higher, although CS3 or CS4
are recommended for use.
3D Invigorator runs supports on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and higher, and runs
natively on Intel Macs and PowerPC Macs. Demo filters and samples are
available at the Digital Anarchy web site.
