ObjectDancer is the most intuitive and powerful tool for
creating rich exciting animations. ObjectDancer was created for
the professional creative designer, but is an affordable and
easy-to-use tool for the non-professional animator or web site
designer. Dancer will allow you to create professional multimedia
animations within minutes and to display them either directly on
the Internet or to integrate them into a multimedia title using
your favorite authoring environment.

Interested in using ObjectDancer to complement your existing
tool set? It's definitely the tool for you, ObjectDancer makes it
easy to input and integrate elements and different data formats
exported from a variety of graphics or multimedia applications
including Adobe PhotoShop, Macromedia Director, CorelDraw, or
LightningDraw with a simple drag-and-drop operation onto Dancer's
Composition Window. Dancer then allows you to choreograph
imported objects into exciting, high-impact animations.
PaceWorks has developed a proprietary technology called
Scriptorium, which provides a time-based, object-oriented
environment with patent pending features facilitating the
development of animation effects, sharing of animation attributes
between objects, and integration of music and rhythm
characteristics in the whole animation.
Scriptorium is the core technology at the base of PaceWorks'
products and leverages off the time-synchronization features of
QuickTime and the powerful graphics capabilities of Apple's
QuickDraw GX technology - leading text-manipulation features,
sophisticated color modeling with translucency control and
extended image quality and rendering performance control.
PaceWorks' products will address particular customer needs by
building on top of Scriptorium creation tools characterized by
full drag-and-drop support, an intuitive interface, and a
time-driven framework. Dancer is PaceWorks' first product based
on the Scriptorium technology.
