Animation
Quickly produce stunning animations with Pointools View Pro. Animation control is based on a timeline and can be quickly setup using the animation wizard. For more advanced users the Graph Editor provides fine control over key values and interpolation. Once setup, an animation can be rendered out to a movie file ready for distribution and playback on any machine*. Render quality surpasses viewport quality using professional anti-aliasing and motion blur effects delivery smooth movie quality motion.
*Playback requires a standard media player and does not require any Pointools products to be installed.
