Automatic Duck Pro Import to Support Boris Blue
Blue is a standalone application that provides unprecedented 3D creativity with real-time performance to accelerate workflow. Create stunning 3D text and shapes with innovative pixel shaders including bump maps, noise patterns, and natural materials as well as reflections and 3D shadows. Powerful OpenGL vertex shaders distort and warp 3D objects with a simple oneparameter action. Bend and twist corners or wrap 3D text around curves. Import common 3D formats, tap into a vast collection of shareware or choose from the 3D models included with Blue.
Boris Blues OpenGL hardware acceleration provides highly interactive real-time performance that streamlines 3D effects creation," says Boris FX founder and president Boris Yamnitsky. "The Automatic Duck solution provides a superior method for integrating Blue into a seamless workflow."
All supported Avid timeline effects are translated, including Dissolves, Superimpose, Picture-in-Picture, 3D Warp, Submaster, Flops, Flips, X-, Y- and Z-Spin.
