Visual Reality is actually a suite of 4 applications and several animation player utilities, as well as CD libraries of seamless bitmap textures and 3D clipart objects. Applications include: RENDERIZE LIVE: 3D rendering and camera animation in a simple, visual environment that encourages creativity and enhances productivity. Renderize Live excels in many areas, including realistic materials and shadows, subtle lighting effects and accurate environmental reflections and very VISUAL MODEL: A complete 3D polygon modeler with a straightforward interface. In addition to the basic 3D modeling operations (extrusion, sweep, spiral, etc.), Visual Model supports more sophisticated features such as Boolean operations, to make it easy to create 3D solids. VISUAL FONT: A deceptively simple utility that loads and extrudes any Windows TrueType font, then saves it as a 3D object. Define beveled edges, offset the extrusion, and preview your text from any angle as a solid 3D object. VISUAL IMAGE: Image editing and composition on multiple layers. Visual Image's strength lies in its ability to collage together multiple images. Each image in a composition exists on a separate layer, so nothing is carved in stone until you decide to make it so.
