We can now officially say that this is the most complete 3D design solution for Mac (and Windows) users.
The three applications work together to allow any designer to capture real objects in 3D, animate and render them, and then deliver them in almost every conceivable way a 3D designer might be asked to (and many ways so new you'll have to introduce them to your clients).
If you only have Strata 3D CX, then you're missing so many possibilities. If you haven't purchased a Strata app in a while, you don't know what you're missing.

Foto 3D for the Mac is here. Turn your digital camera into you own personal 3D capture device. Then pull your fully realized and textured 3D object into Strata 3D CX or Live 3D. Populate your scenes with ease. Check out this week's podcast and the previous one to see just how easy Foto 3D is to use.

Although we announced it briefly, Live 3D PDF will be a surprise to most. Its power is only outgunned by its simplicity. Take any PDF and easily add a real-time 3D object to any page you'd like. Position your menus and navigation, resize your 3D area and recolor your script buttons to match your PDF design. All the power of a layout app to incorporate 3D files into PDFs directly from XMM files rendered from Strata 3D CX, Live 3D, or even other PDFs!
