On the previous page in this section I showed you some of the amazing capabilities Xara3d provides you. I really just scratched the surface of what you can do with this easy to learn graphics program. On this page I'll demonstrate some of the program's 3d animation capabilities that allow you to easily add some zing to your web pages.

Please be patient. This page could take a while to download - although each 3d animation is a reasonably small file, I have put an unreasonable number of them on the page!

At the bottom of this page I have included information on how you can get a free time-limited trial copy of the Xara3d. You'll amaze yourself with what you can create with this great program.

Let's get right to the kinds of original 3d animations you can easily make ...

For this graphic I simply modified the "steel" graphic from the previous page. Editing the text was as simple as just selecting it and then retyping. It just took a few additional clicks to turn it into this gif animation. Notice how Xara3d can give it a pause - it makes it more legible and adds a touch of sophistication not seen in most animated gifs. This animated gif is 9k in size.

Here's two more variations. It took just two clicks each to modify the one above. In Xara3d you see the effects of changing settings as you do them. It makes using the program very intuitive and easy to learn. These 3d animations are 12k & 9k.

With Xara3d you can do more than spins, swings, and flips. You can also easily make your animated gifs zoom or pulsate - with any you can play with the settings and have fun while you create. Dozens of variations are possible. This example is 14k.

I included this one not because I like posting pics of myself - rather I wanted to show that Xara3d can do its magic even when there is a bitmap fill like a photo. This gif animation is 21k.

In this example it is only the "lights" that are animated. Xara3d also gives you flexibility in determining the quality of output - and thus the file size. This "get rich" is 20k. Click here to see a better quality version (70k).

On the previous page you saw examples of the kinds of static graphics you can easily make with Xara3d. On this page you saw some of the 3d animation capabilities built into this very easy to use program. It doesn't get any easier than Xara3d to create 3d animated headings for your web pages. It is so quick and easy I sometimes make them to include in my email! - Believe me, when my friends see their "Dear Igor" animated in 3d letters it really catches their attention, admiration and envy. They don't know how little work was involved and I don't usually tell them ;^)

Would it suprise you to learn Xara3d has even more capabilities? Indeed it does. I've created another page to share some of the program's more advanced capabilities. The program offers great value even if you never use its most advanced features. However, Xara Ltd. have made their advanced features as easy to use as the rest of the program so you might really amaze yourself with what you can create ...
