LogoWizard makes animation a
breeze... Professional Prefabs
There are 20 professionally designed animations at your disposal. Just
drop in your logo and you are done. If you like, you can scale your logo
in X, Y and Z independently, or use the locked scaling control for
distortion-free object scaling. The PreFab library allows you to add more
PreFabs as they become available. PreFabs are just one way of creating
great animations quickly.
The Wizard
The Wizard is another way to create quality animations without a lot of hassle.
Just go step by step through the design screens, selecting only those options
that you want. It's that easy! Some Wizard features are described below. Read
on!
Direct Logo Motion Controls
LogoWizard gives you full logo rotation capabilities along the flight paths and
motion timing controls for On, Hold and Off motion paths. You can even fade your
logo in or out as you fly it. Flight paths are represented by actual rendered 3D
arrows, each with a helpful description. And,\ of course, you can scale your
logo just as you can when using a PreFab.
Timing Review
Do you think you might ever need to change the total length of your animation
after you have set all of your On, Off and Hold times? No problem! LogoWizard
allows the logo motion settings to be frame scaled with full rippling
capability.
Layers
Now, for the real power of LogoWizard. This is where the similarity between
LogoWizard and any other logo flying software ends. There is one foreground and
eight background layers. Each one of these layers can contain up to sixteen
different element objects and many instances of each, for a total of up to 1000
objects for all layers. Element objects can be independently sized and rotated
using common sense controls. You have complete control over the fade in or fade
out of any of the five different layer styles that LogoWizard provides:
- Bands are straight rows of objects. You may
have any number of bands in a layer. The bands can be oriented at any one
of 60 angles. The speed and direction of travel of the bands are also
under your control and can be very easily changed.
- Ellipses can be anything from perfect circles
to almost flat ellipses, positioned anywhere on the screen. You control
its size and shape, how many objects it contains, and how fast and in
which direction it spins.
- Fireworks allows you to easily create way cool
fireworks displays. Any valid
LightWaveTM object may be used. These objects will be thrown out from the
center of the explosion with the force selected by you and with a perfect
trajectory formed by the gravitational force that you choose.
- Fly-through simulates flight through a field of
whatever objects you choose. The speed, count and release timing of the
objects are all set by you.
- Vortex creates a whirlpool effect. The objects
that you have chosen will appear to swirl out of a singular point,
eventually expanding out and beyond the screen. You have complete control
over the release timing, shape, size, speed, direction and expansion of
the vortex.
Explosions Imagine creating a 3D explosion with
hundreds of objects and being able to select the explosion force and gravity.
Now imagine being able to show a brilliant flash and then have the camera rock
when the shock wave hits it. You don't need to imagine any more. LogoWizard does
it all!
Other Settings The Other Settings screen gives
you various options for more control over the animation. The background can be a
solid color or any one of twelve different gradient patterns. You also have
control over lighting, camera position, render resolution, anti-aliasing and
more.
Objects Some logo flying software packages limit
the objects that can be used in their animations to whatever they send you.
Although LogoWizard provides over 300 objects for you to use, we know that you
will probably want to use your own. LogoWizard provides you with the capability
to import any valid LightWaveTM object into the element database.
