Winner of the 1996 New Media Hyper Award for "Best Special Effects Software-SGI," Pandemonium can be used with such 3D graphics programs as SoftImage and Alias|Wavefront. Use it to create astounding special effects and customized compositing for video presentations, web creation and pre-press. Special effects created with Pandemonium can be seen regularly in feature film productions, TV commercials, and broadcast station logos, and promotion packages. This composition of 54 integrated applications gives you an extensive library of image processing tools including exotic functions (like warps, trails, smoke, particles, mosaic, and brushing effects) as well as the utility functions (such as compositing, camera crop, pan, zoom, rotate, and color correction). Each module has unlimited control for creating infinitely unique custom effects that can be applied to stills, movie clips, 3D geometry, or used to process transitions. Transition Play, Pandemonium's exclusive module, combines standard preset wipes and DVE style transitions and gives you more advanced blending, warping and brushing effects to create unique special effects. So, whether you need basic visual presentation or a complete library of special effects, take it from the pros, and use Pandemonium to spice up your communications.
