Electric Rain Announced Swift 3D Version 4
July 24, 2004 | Levent OZLER
Electric Rain announced the release of Swift 3D Version 4.0, a stand-alone application that lets designers build and export vector and raster-based 3D animations to the Macromedia Flash (SWF) file format, as well as other popular formats.
Like its predecessor, Swift 3D 4.0 aims to help 2D designers move to 3D animations quickly and easily. It exports high-quality, low-bandwidth vector and raster-based graphics to a variety of formats, including Flash SWF, making it easier for designers to convert their traditional 2D work to more interactive animated formats.
"Macromedia opened the Flash file format to enable companies like Electric Rain to deliver rich 3D content that can be experienced by over 500 million users who already have Flash Player installed on their desktops," said Carol Linburn, senior product manager, Macromedia. "With Swift 3D V4, Electric Rain allows Flash developers to incorporate striking 3D elements in their designs, product demonstrations, virtual tours, games and advertisements."
Swift 3D Version 4.0 is available immediately on the Windows platform, with the Macintosh OS X version soon to follow. It costs $189 for the full version, and $99 for upgrades.
