J3 Computer Technologies (http://www.os2store.com) Offers Special Price On NeoN Grafix 3D Lite at the very reduced price of $49. NeoN Grafix 3D is a 3-D wire frame modeler and renderer for designing realistic looking 3-D objects with depth and shadows. It is used in the advertising, animation, film and video special effects, engineering and architectural fields, and is just plain fun for home users. The program allows you to build wire frame models of objects (the same way you'd build something using Tinker Toys), or alternately import such models from a library. Then you place the objects into a scene wherever you want them, turn them any way you wish, add your light sources (the sun, light bulbs, explosions or whatever) and NeoN's renderer does the rest. Each ray of light is traced through the scene to give you as real a look as if you'd been there and taken a photo. Super 8 Sound in Burbank, Calif. confirmed the ease of creating special effects. "Our business is Super 8 film sales, processing and video transfers, and we're in the heart of the studio production area. The pros walk in with their exposed film and we give them back a video transfer. They then add special effects and do their editing." Alan Portero in Hollywood, Calif. agreed. "I just frame-grab from the video transfer on my home machine. Once it's digital I can do anything." Portero directs music videos. "This is a product I can really use," said Kitty Brook, an architect. "With a 3-D picture, the client can see what the finished building will look like. I've used artists in the past, but they're expensive and you only get one view for your money. With this I can get as many views as the client wants." The completed 3-D images may be used in graphics programs and graphics program images in turn may be mapped onto NeoN Grafix 3D objects for texturing or embedded scenes. "You could render a realistic-looking tv, paste a slanted image from your graphics program onto its screen, then take that and put it on top of a photograph," said Portero. "It's faster and cheaper than a live shoot, and you have total control. No weather problems, no film permits, no talent tantrums." "I can bust out a stock building, throw icing on the facade and give the potential client three views in a day," said Brook. "The competition is gonna die."
