Animation And Graphics Composition


You subsequently want to refine animations without processing them again every time?
You want to convert animations from e.g. 256 into 64 colors and change the format size at the same time without processing the animations again?
You want to run several Adorage-effects at the same time?
You want to overlap Ray-Tracing, Morph or other with Dpaint animations without prior tiring format conversions?
You want to equip Dpaint-anims with roves without troublesome painting?
You want to smoothen the edges of an animation without blurring the proper object?
You want to run animations like flames or color bleeding in your video titles?
You want to position one (or more) animation on the background picture of a different format?
You want to fade in an animation with an additional Adorage effect without processing it again?
You simply want to combine things and briefly - without troublesome waiting - inform yourself before, on how the result will look like?

Animage is a software for the AMIGA to combine animations and graphics under the principle of the object oriented design, mainly serving to simplify the handling of animations.

From now on, it is no longer important in which format the objects to be combined have been created or are available. Graphic- and animation formats can arbitrarily be mixed together to one single result with one single format!
Additional possibilities like roves, fades such as particles, zoom, wipes or other can be attached to animations or graphics, which supports its outstanding features of the effectful combination of different objects.

Examples

A scrolling title from Monument Designer can be mixed with a logo-rotation from a ray-tracing program, and both objects can arbitrarily be overlapped, even transparent or animated glitter effects can be set.
Another example would be the combination of an Adorage-particle effect with a simultaneously running Dpaint-animation or a countryside animation. Also the combination of e.g. an Adorage pageturn effect with a Monument scrolling title, equipped with a rove-effect in ANIMAGE supported by effectfully displayed photo graphics can be assigned.

Anim-Design

All objects can further be processed, e.g. equipped by a shimmer, an animated glitter effect or a rove-particle. Furthermore, objects can get shadows, outline or 3-D effects, which can naturally be created relating to the outline and be animated as well. A rotating globe can obtain a 3-D effect from Animage and at the same time cast any arbitrary shadow - with changing color - on all remaining objects.

Flexibility

With repeatedly usable effect masks created in other programs like e.g. Adorage, Dpaint or Morph, graphic and animation projects can be faded in and out with additional multiple effects. You use the possibilities of this program according to your wishes!

Freedom

The single original components can be available in e.g. IFF in 24 Bit, HAM or non-HAM or in SSA or AnimX format. With the optional SSA-Loaderpack even other formats like JPG or PCX can be imported. The result then can be an all integrating SSA animation running as soft as butter or as well a sequence of IFF single frames to guarantee compatibility to other programs like multimedia and authoring programs up to special solutions such as Vlab-Motion.

Ease of use

Further to the extensive creative possibilities of ANIMAGE, certainly the ease of use of the user interface is of great interest. All created projects can immediately and without long processing time be pulled up in a reduced animation preview! The subsequent changes like size of the object or duration of an effect can then again be displayed immediately - a new type of the WYSIWYG-principle, since for the first time ever it has been realized for ANIMATIONS! Long test processing times now for the first time and for ever belong to the past!
The user interface, known from Monument Designer, is logically structured and impressively easy to learn!

For the first time ever, here is the possibility to arbitrarily mix animations and graphics or simply convert them on an Amiga-PC at an accessible price. Additionally, the original components can be equipped with effects.

The intuitive user interface with its super quick anim preview impresses with its highest ease of use and allows to realize your wishes in the field of animations in a simply simpler way.

It is self-understood, that the strength of the Amiga like SSA-animations as soft as butter, Genlock features and last but not least its ingenious multi-tasking features are fully supported and should simply be appreciated as a pleasant luxury by you as the user!

ANIMAGE is available at proDAD or at your competent specialist dealer!
