Comparing Blue and Red

Boris Blue and Boris Red are both professional compositing and motion graphics solutions used to achieve outstanding visual effects. Even though Boris Blue is based on the award-winning Boris Red, the two products are actually quite different from one another. When used together they can create visually stunning results faster then ever before!

Below is a list of some of the major differences between the two products.

Advantages of Blue over Red 3
100% hardware preview and rendering to disk - means speed faster than Red
Imported models - Blue can work with large number of polygons unlike Red
Custom spline based bevels on extrusion - more modeling power than Red
Material shaders include bumps and reflections - more control over 3D materials than Red
3D deformers - more animation options that in Red
Particle engine with sprites and 3D models - more particle options and on screen interaction not in Red
Movie direct streaming from hard drives with Audio - no need to preview to RAM as in Red

Type On effects allow intersection of objects in 3D - more options than in Red
