What's New

Ulead COOL 3D 3.5 presents a radical development with its powerful new complemen-
tary component, the EnVector Module. EnVector provides the ability to export anima-
tions as Flash files that have the ability to be edited as pure vector objects, and also
animated within Flash.
The main module continues to move from strength to strength with its expanded range
of geometric objects and plug-ins, enhanced texture options and greater diversity of
export formats.

    Grouped Object and Composition folders, are not available. Functions that insert objects are disabled when there is already an object in the project. EnVector can be run simultaneously with the main module of Ulead COOL 3D. The file extension of working files saved in the main module is .C3D, while the file extension of files saved in EnVector is .C3V.
  • Page 3: New Features

    New Features Wireframe Display In both modules of Ulead COOL 3D 3.5, objects can now be displayed as wireframes. Wireframe mode renders your objects as geometric models, displaying them as struc- tures made up of straight and curved lines, and giving them an architectural quality.
  • Page 4: New Objects

    Ulead COOL 3D 3.5 New Objects Single Cone The Single Cone is a basic cone with a flat, circular base. Textures, colors and lighting effects can be applied separately to the base and to the curved surface. Frustum The Frustum is a truncated square-based pyramid.
  • Page 5: Metaball

    User Guide • Curvature The number of sides of the torus through its cross-section. The torus can have from three sides (triangu- lar cross-section) up to 30 sides (circular cross-section). Metaball A Metaball initially appears as a single sphere. The number of sphere units within the metaball can be increased by clicking Add on the Geometric Toolbar.
  • Page 6: New Plug-Ins

    Ulead COOL 3D 3.5 New Plug-ins Lightning Effect The Lightning plug-in is a Global Effect that throws bolts of lightning over your objects. Either use presets included with the plug-in, or create your own effects with precise control using the Attribute Toolbar.
  • Page 7: Text Wave

    User Guide Text Wave The Text Wave plug-in provides templates to create complex wave animations with text objects. Animate them through three-dimensional planes, character by character: with variable acceleration, scale, loop frequency and more. This plug-in is available in both modules.
  • Page 8: Feature Enhancements

    Emboss switched on Export formats Ulead COOL 3D’s main module has expanded its range of export formats to include: Raster-based Macromedia Flash files Animations can be exported in this popular Web animation format, but because these are raster-based they cannot be edited as vector objects in Flash.
