1. Aurora 3D Presentation can import 3D Model, change the color, texture, size and make some interactive animation for it. You can learn how to import and change the color and texture in this guide.

First, Click “Object” button and select “3D Model” on the top toolbar. Then you can choose “3ds, obj, dae, dxf, ms3d, blend, etc,.” 3d format and import it. (PS: 3DS and OBJ format are better for our software)

2. When we select and import our 3d model, we will get a dialog said: Do you want to split the model. If you want change the model, select YES.

3. If split the 3d model, we can select every parts of the model in the “Hierarchy” list. That’s easy for us.
4. If we want to change a part color, we can select it and click fill button on the top toolbar. For example, we select “WHITE BODY”, and change the color to orange, select a texture and check reflection and mirror texture effect.

5. Look, we can get this effect for my car model.

6. We also can select the parts of the model and move them, like this picture, that’s easy to use.

2. For example, if we want to change the center of this “Metal” text. First, I need create a shape or any other object. Then, set this shape’s transparent to “0”, include the surface and the side.

3. We need select the shape and the text, click arrange button, and select “Same Position”. Because we need make the shape’s center as same as the text.

4. Then, select the shape and text, right-click on it and choose Group.

5. We can get a Group include the text and the object, but we can’t see the shape. So, we can change the center at now. Right click on the Group, and Enable “Adjust Group Center” option.

6. Now, we can use the manipulator to move the center of this group. For example, we can move the center to the left bottom corner.

7. Finally, we need right click on the group and Disable “Adjust Group Center” option.

If you are a constant web surfer, you have probably noticed those great looking intros presented on some Flash websites. The same kind of intros are also included in some TV news programs or software video reviews. You may want to be able to produce such intros yourself, but unfortunately, applications that offer this functionality are usually too difficult to master and also take up a lot of system resources. Fortunately, there are programs which really work, without cluttering the system.

One of these applications is Aurora 3D Animation Maker. This Windows application allows you to create any kind of 3D text animation, which can be integrated with any kind of project. After installing and running the application, a welcome screen will be displayed, in which the user can select the animation template that he would like to use. There are numerous templates to choose from and each can be completely modified.

After selecting the desired template, the user will be able to preview it directly in the program’s interface using the integrated player. Modifying a template only requires double-clicking on the text and entering a new one. Advanced users can also modify the text movement, shadows, lights and so on.

In case the user would like to create a 3D text animation from scratch, he will be able to use multiple objects, colors, text types, frames, icons and so on. Each object can be completely modified and animated. What’s more, Aurora 3D Animation Maker allows importing 3D models from other compatible applications, like 3D Studio Max. After the project is created, the user will be able to render it either using OpenGL or DirectX and also export it to an image or video file. Aurora 3D Animation Maker supports multiple formats when saving projects and allows customizing quality settings for each of them.

Pros:
It allows you to create complex 3D text animations by using customized templates or with the help of a large object library. Besides that, animations can be directly previewed in the program’s interface. Furthermore, 3D animations can be exported to various image or graphical formats and the quality for each of them can be customized.

Cons:
Fully using the application requires some knowledge and experience in working with 3D applications.

Aurora 3D Animation Maker allows you to quickly create any kind of 3D text animation, using numerous templates and a large object library.
