Description:  Ulead COOL 3D 2.5 includes "Plug-in Madness," a set of 12 special effects that come bundled with the new version. These are: "Frame," Imprint" and "Hollow" effects for manipulating title borders and edges; "Glow," "Shadow" and "Motion Blur" effects for applying to entire projects; and "Bend" for distorting single elements within a title.  Other plug-ins included in COOL 3D 2.5 offer new ways of assigning motion to both titles and individual elements. These include: token-based motion effects, which deliver timed sequential changes to the skew, size, position and rotation of letters within a title; "Surface Animation" for building titles that revolve around user-defined shapes; "Path Animation" to move letters or objects along a user-defined line; and "Dance" for making objects bounce around. In addition to new creativity tools, version 2.5 of COOL 3D also integrates easier with other professional-level design tools. For instance, COOL 3D 2.5 makes it possible to output high-resolution graphics while saving an image file. Similarly, multimedia producers can use COOL 3D to generate smooth field-based video and image sequences to create impressive video title overlays. With respect to performance, COOL 3D 2.5 is designed to take full advantage of hardware acceleration technology now offered on many graphics boards, and utilizes Microsoft’s new Direct X6.1 drivers for improved performance on Intel Pentium III systems.
