With 3D World for Bogart Windows, an effects package with very different effects has been created. They all have one thing in common: they are real 3D effects in which graphics, photos or even - for the first time in the history of Bogart - videos can be placed on real 3D objects. These can then fly over video scenes with adjustable lighting and, where appropriate, with shadows cast.
Included is a "globe" effect with very high-resolution world maps, which are available in different variants. Nothing stands in the way of a "hop" from one country to another or an approach from space.
If you want to place a "text" in a 3D perspective in a scene, a suitable long-term effect is also available for this. With XYZ position and free rotation of all axes, the writing can be perfectly aligned with the rest of the scene. Selecting a moving scene as a texture for the writing opens up very interesting design options.
As an alternative to a beautiful static 3D title, "Textflug" also offers moving titles. The movement from one of the four screen directions and optionally the rotation around one of the three axes can be adjusted.
With a flying cube, the "video block" special effect, up to four different video scenes can be defined for the sides, while the top and bottom can be colored as you like. The cube can then fly left or right through the picture from all four sides and also stop.
The four special and long-term effects are supplemented by five transition effects. Different "tile" effects can, for example, split the image into 1-100 tiles in a number of variations, which rotate parts into the next scene and fade, explode or implode. Or the "video block" functionality is used as a transition between two scenes, whereby rotation, speed, background and lighting can be set here depending on the effect.
The 3D world effects thus offer very special and often requested functions that have never been possible with Bogart before. However, since this software package uses special 3D routines of Windows, it is limited to Bogart Windows. There can't be a version of this extension for Casablanca3 devices, so we're sorry.
In the manual, which is available in printed form and as a PDF, all the functions of 3D-World are shown step-by-step and explained in a number of practical application examples how to make your film a good bit more colourful, moving, clear and informative can.
Like almost all extensions, 3D World can also be tested as an unlimited demo version in order to convince yourself of the great possibilities. The installation can be found in the download area.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:
This software runs on all Casablanca-4 models. PCs running Bogart Windows must support OpenGL 4, which should be the case for all devices from 2010 onwards. If the software cannot be installed on very old hardware, updating the graphics card driver from the respective manufacturer can help.
Minimum requirement: Bogart 9.0a / 8.5a / 7.8a / 6.10a ? Recommended: Bogart 11.1 / 10.4 / 9.10/ 8.15 / 7.18 / 6.20 or higher (free update within the respective version)
Due to the complex calculations, 3D World is not compatible with the Bogart effect stack! All Bogart updates released after May 2019 will therefore disable the use of 3D World effects in the effect stack.
