What does this toolkit allow me to do?
You can use this toolkit to create your own FXThemes, transitions, entry and corner logos, and other 3d insert objects such as product models or plans. This toolkit is used daily within Instant Effects, and all assets included with Presenter were generated with this toolkit.
Can anyone use this toolkit?
Yes, and no. Anyone can purchase the toolkit, and it is included with Master Presenter, but using the toolkit effectively requires reasonably advanced 3D modeling and animation skills.
Does this toolkit require any other software?
Yes, the toolkit requires 3ds Max, from Autodesk. 3ds Max is a professional modeling and animation application used to create computer games, video and movie special effects, etc.
How does the toolkit work?
You create models and animation in 3dsmax, and then export the resulting scene(s) to our FXML file format using a 3dsmax plugin supplied in our toolkit. For creating FXThemes, an additional step, accomplished by using our FXTheme Designer application, is required to tie the various theme elements (backgrounds, foregrounds, transitions) together into a form that any Presenter user can apply.
Are there other ways to get custom themes?
Yes, Instant Effects’ production department can be hired to create custom FXThemes and logo treatments.
