You have Problems running Wildfire? You want to know more about the

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Restriction of the demoversion:
-A Wildfire-Logo is applied to every image generated
by the Processor
-The Converter can only be used in combination with
the Processor (Processor=Enabled). (This assures that
all animations created by the program are "equipped" with
the Logo, too.)
-example transitions are only supplied for the
-blackhole
-displace
-fade
-perspective
effect. (See the example mode of the transition maker)
Now it's possible for you to test out all features - even
complicated effects. The only missing function is the "fast
Converter-mode" (without rendering). But you have NOT to convert
lots of animations to decide if the program is worth
bying. In fact, it is.
To mention it explicitly: The Converter does NOTHING if the
"Processor"-option is set to "Disabled".
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How to order:
Wildfire will be available soon through a commercial distributor. Read the
news sections of your Amiga Magazines to find out more or just
contact eksec@eure.de for the latest details.
It`ll come on a CD with lots of examples.
Registered Users of the Shareware Version will get a special discount
when they buy the commercial version. For the special conditions send
a short email to eksec@eure.de and include your registration number.
There will be two different Versions:
- WF 4.0 Amiga native
- WF 4.0 Amiga PPC
Probably there will be special Versions for:
- WF 4.0 Amiga Movieshop
- WF 4.0 Draco

Wildfire - where dreams become virtuality
A Special Effect Program and many more
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Wildfire is not only another brandnew image-processing-program -
it's a professional animation-processor with some really new concepts.
It allows you for example the creation and processing of animations in
several formats, the generation of time-dependant special-effects
and the design of large projects containing several animations and
frame-synchronized sound-effects.
Because the common animation-formats on the Amiga have too many
lacks or restrictions we have tried to create a better one: YAFA.
This animation-format for example features many compression-methods
and realtime-zooming.
One of the outstanding features of Wildfire is the fact that it
makes for you no difference if you apply changes to a whole animation
or if you process only one image. A single image is only a
very special case of an animation.
In contrary to common image-processors you can use envelopes instead
of plain numbers as effect-parameters. This makes the creation
of complicated time-dependant special-effects very easy.
So you haven't to fight against the "do"-loops in an ARexx-script to
get an animation outside your image-processor any more.
All of the numerous effects can be arranged in any number and
combination. Because the output of any of these effects can be
one of the 8 "flat" or 4 3D-temp-buffers Wildfire allows you to
perform "impossible" operations easily and in a very comfortable way !

-fast and comfortable Converter:
