Webtricity 2 Webtricity 2 Introduction Webtricity 2 is a suite of four stand alone graphics applications combined into one package. Both professional web designers and amateurs alike will be able to create top quality graphics and animations with relative ease. All the programs use the familiar Microsoft Office toolbar interface. The main application and the one most often used is Picture Publisher 8. It provides easy to use professional image editing. There are tons of effects that you can apply to an image. You can make truly top quality GIF and JPEG graphics. You can even control the compression to get the smallest file size for faster image loading on web pages. All features in each application are organized in functional groups for easy location. All the applications are loaded with wizards and templates so even a non - professional can get started right away. It's a good idea to keep the 340 page manual handy, though. You also get 30 days of free tech support. I called them several times at different times of the day and always got right through to a helpful, patient "customer advocate" within 3 minutes.

Textures Adding an animated texture to an object's material is just a matter of "drag-and-drop"...great for creating animated water or explosions to an animation. Animated Lights Simply 3D 3 now has easily applied animated lighting to add character and drama to an animation. Morphing User can deform an object in the view port with the standard deform tools and morph the object through each of the changes they make. The user can create twisting text, swaying palm trees, and other special effects by morphing between deformations. 2D to 3D Wizard 2D vector art can be imported/pasted in to be extruded into a 3D beveled shape. The user can turn 2D logos and artwork they already have into useful, animated 3D art. Project Wizard Creates an entire
project from start to output in one continuous Wizard. Any user can use
this tool out of the box to create their first 3D project. Windows
Draw 6 Web
Publishing Wizard Automatically converts your text into HTML format and graphics to GIF and JPEG. Plus it copies pages to the host server you choose, so in no time your creation will be on the Web. Animated GIF Wizard The GIF Wizard lets you create and place cool animations on your pages. Now you can make your web site jump, hop, and sing in a matter of minutes. Ready to Use Templates Ready to
use templates for everything from greeting cards and invitations to
newsletters and brochures. Final
Comments Webtricity is fairly
easy to use. The included 340 page manual as well as the applications is
filled with instructions, wizards, and handy hints and tips, so that even
a novice can turn out decent results fairly quickly. Simply 3D is a
high-quality VRML 1.0 and 2.0-compatible program for creating or modifying
3D object files, but its main uses for the Web are for creating 3D scenes
(in VRML) or animations (as GIFs). Used without the wizard, this can be a
pretty scary program, since it has the kinds of features found in
professional 3D programs. Media Manager is a
graphics manager, essentially a thumbnail browser. It is very fast and
allows searching Micrografx libraries. Picture Publisher is the centerpiece of Webtricity. You can easily add drop
shadows, convert images to buttons, create about a dozen "cool
text" basic effects, and generate backgrounds and textures
automatically. There are so many choices that there's a built in browser
just for the abundance of effects, wizards, and macros. There's an
unlimited undo, not just the last few changes.
Windows Draw is a simple
vector (line) based drawing program that is similar to Print Shop and
Print Artist. Like Picture Publisher it has a wizard to convert your
creation for publication to the Web.
