3D Creativity with Real-Time Performance

Now available as both a plugin for Adobe and Avid systems and as a standalone

Perfect for post facilities with client-supervised sessions or demanding deadlines, Blue uses the latest generation NVIDIA and ATI GPU-based graphics cards to provide an interactive effects design experience. Blue delivers real-time processing of 2D and 3D effects as well as real-time playback of video and audio media. Users can adjust effect parameters during playback, a "front room" capability that is ideal for working side by side with clients. The fast export to disk, including hardware rendered anti-aliasing, motion blur, and 3D shadows, provide significant time savings.

Boris Blue offers plugin integration within Windows based Avid editors, Adobe Premiere and After Effects CS3, and it can be used as a standalone 3D compositor for Windows XP. Based on the familiar Boris interface, Blue is designed for video editors and compositors who want to create stunning 3D looks without the complex learning curves and render times associated with 3D applications.

Boris Blue Key Features

	Particles Use any 3D object as a particle, including extruded shapes and imported 3D Models. Multiple attractors and repellers provide dynamic particle interaction. Sprite-based particles simulate Fire, Smoke and Sparks.
	Enhanced Extrusions Create custom bevels by defining a curve with spline drawing tools. Extrude text, spline primitives, free hand spline drawings and imported EPS files. Import 3D models in the .3ds and .obj formats, preserving individual geometry groups.
	Deformers, Image Processors and Generators Vertex Deformers provide true 3D warping of 3D objects. Blue's Deformers, Image Processors and Generators are fully hardware accelerated for blazing speed.
	Materials including Bump Maps and Reflections Materials include per pixel lighting controls and texture, bump and reflection mapping. They are also are fully hardware accelerated for blazing speed.
	Sophisticated Animation Made Fast and Easy Blue includes some new tools such as Type On Containers and the Motion Path filter for more convenient creation of complex 3d animations. Combined with full hardware acceleration these high quality effects can be designed and exported with amazing speed.

"Impress Your Client - The biggest payoff for this program and a fast compatible graphics card is the ability to change parameters in real time. Using the built-in OpenGL vertex shaders, you can warp 3D objects via a single parameter. Create impressive 3D particle effects using multiple shapes as the particles and multiple particle types as the emitters. Give your objects highly realistic surfaces using bump maps and natural materials illuminated with dynamic reflections and shadows."
