-
- 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".
-

-
- 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 !
-
