Andreas Maschke, Andreas Kuessner Saturday 21-Jun-97 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wildfire - where dreams become virtuality A Special Effect Program and many more --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wildfire is not only another brandnew image-processing-program - it's a professional animation-processor with some really new concepts. It allows you for example the creation and processing of animations in several formats, the generation of time-dependant special-effects and the design of large projects containing several animations and frame-synchronized sound-effects. Because the common animation-formats on the Amiga have too many lacks or restrictions we have tried to create a better one: YAFA. This animation-format for example features many compression-methods and realtime-zooming. One of the outstanding features of Wildfire is the fact that it makes for you no difference if you apply changes to a whole animation or if you process only one image. A single image is only a very special case of an animation. In contrary to common image-processors you can use envelopes instead of plain numbers as effect-parameters. This makes the easy creation of time-dependant special-effects possible. So you haven't to fight against the "do"-loops in an ARexx-script to get an animation outside your image-processor anymore. All of the numerous effects can be arranged in any number and combination. Because the output of any of these effects can be one of the 8 tempory-buffers Wildfire allows you to PROGRAM IMAGES in an comfortable way ! Main Features: -fast and comfortable Converter: input: YAFA, ANIM5/7/8, mpeg, image-sequences output: YAFA, ANIM5/7/8, image-sequences -Preview for almost any operation -Project-Editor which allows the creation of large and complicated projects easily using the mouse -Effect-Generator featuring time-dependant parameters via envelopes -a stunning library of effect-PlugIns -some really new effects, real 3D-effects -superposition of 3D-effects (PowerPlugs!) -superposition of Lightwave-objects and Images in the threedimensional space -phong-shading -(un)loading of PlugIns at any time -Envelope-Editor -Timecodes-Editor -Transition-Maker for easy creation of transitions between two animations -easy-to-use Player-interface -Filmstrips to simplify the perfect timimg of huge projects -AnimInfo-function displaying size-profiles etc. -fontsensitive GUI without MUI -internal gadget-toolbox which handles mathematical expressions instead of only plain numbers -calculator which allows for example the export of user-defined symbols to the gadgets in the whole-program -Drag&Go (using drag.gadget release 0.8 Copyright © 1996 Jörg Kollmann, see bonus drawer!) -ARexx-port with about 400 commands -macros, custom-windows, docks -import of images from other programs -Developer-Kit (with working example) which allows you to create your own effect-PlugIns -and many more --------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements: Hardware -MC68020 or higher with FPU -AGA chipset -2 MB Fast -recommended: FastRAM, HardDisk Software -AmigaOS V39 (3.0) or higher This Demo-Version contains all features. The only restriction is that the program eats some memory and so you have only limited time for checking out the program.
