Avid 3D features the same 3D creation and animation tools used in groundbreaking feature films, bestselling games, and music videos—streamlined for video edit ors:
Model-based 3D animation
Avid 3D makes it easy to get started with hundreds of professional models from the renowned Digimation library. Simply choose a model and customize it with a huge selection of drag-and-drop textures, materials, lights, cameras, and shaders.
- A direct link to the full Digimation online library offers exclusive content for Avid 3D customers as well as custom-built models
- Avid 3D supports the most popular model formats, so you can choose from a growing selection of free models available online
Titles with a 3D twist
Avid 3D includes a library of customizable title animations, such as volumetric lights moving behind text; simply enter your text, and you're done. Or use automatic tools and real-time previews to create compelling, unique animations in just a few clicks.
- Bend, bulge, warp, and twist your text it in all three dimensions
- Animate 3D ripples and waves with a single click
- Fly cameras around or through your textk
- Add a wide variety of special effects, textures, and materials
Easy animation tools
Avid 3D simplifies the process of animating an object along a path. Simply draw a path or drag one of several customizable paths into your scene. Select an object to apply to the path, and motion is automatically applied.
Save time with automatic keyframing: simply change properties like position and scale as you move down the timeline
- Create a title where the letters animate individually by animating one letter—the rest will automatically follow.
- 3D"rigs" allow multiple elements to be controlled at once: direct the position of multiple lights; make 3D text orbit a globe; create true 3D DVE effects; and more.
For more advanced animators, Avid 3D uses a “tree-style” multi-purpose editor to organize and control every aspect of the scene.
Fast, easy file exchange
Tight integration between Avid 3D and Avid editing systems uses industry-standard AAF (Advanced Authoring Format) to make it easy to work with video and 3D animation files.
- Finished animations from Avid 3D automatically appear in your Avid editing bin
- Video automatically appears in the Incoming from Avid Editors folder in Avid 3D, ready to be dropped into your 3D scene, or directly onto a 3D object.
- Video with animated alpha channels can be composited in real time with multiple layers of underlying video.
- Real-time camera output from Avid 3D can be displayed on your broadcast monitor through Avid Mojo or Avid Adrenaline hardware.
High-quality output
Award-winning mental ray® rendering, provides industry-standard output quality. The mental ray render engine in Avid 3D is included free, for an unmatched combination of image quality and exceptional value. Other Avid 3D render options include speedy OpenGL, wireframe rendering, and even a variety of “toon” shaders for funky, hand-drawn looks not found in most 3D animation applications.
