Leave a comment

The computer animation industry has traveled a long distance and come a long way since the times of traditional 2-dimensional image processing and still continues to offer better innovative solutions for all those who are really interested in working with some kind of visual content or images. Zoom animation limited presents a revolutionary product to the world of production technology which allows anybody to have a fully interactive 3D model of the venue and scenic elements to be used in the artistic and technical creation of any production. The main features of zoom animation product are 3D Stereoscopic capability, True real-time environments, Total immersion viewing goggles, Proven time saving technology, Global programming in minutes, Rapid Animation to automation etc.

By utilizing the Zoom tool, each 3D model has exact axis detail in order to realistically see how the production will work within the venue. If an element can only move at 1000mm per second in reality then it can only be moved at that speed within Zoom. Many other elements such as Special Effects, Projection and Lighting can also be fully realized within the environment to give a full creative control of the production before the venue has even been built! The benefits in terms of artistic freedom and man hours saved are truly enormous and it gets better. The true magic of the Zoom tool is the unrivalled ability to directly export from your animation to the automation system. Using their unique coding technique Zoom can program an automation system remotely from one side of the World to the other in a matter of minutes.
