Summary:
Trapcode Form offers plenty of bang for the buck. It’s relatively easy to use and has more than enough settings to produce distinctive 3D animations.
Target Apps Video, film, or Web-based content creation for 3D-animated titles, flyovers or particle-based visual effects
What It Costs You $199 MSRP; $799 for Suite
What's Cool 61 presets that include text-to-particle transformations, 3D flybys, audio-reactive, abstract forms, and title animations; uses the After Effects 3D graphics environment for camera movements; built-in settings for motion blur, depth of field, and looping
What's Missing Requires fast processor to preview complex animations in real time; runs only under Adobe After Effects 7.0 or higher (Mac OSX/Windows)
Specs Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X; Adobe After Effects 7.0
With so many 3D plug-in effects available, you would think it would be easy to choose the right one. Unfortunately, as the number of plug-ins increases, so does the complexity of the choice.
