Or you can import a 2D shape and extrude the outline into 3D. Plus there’s a handy tool that automatically converts headings into buttons or adds borders or background boards in a single click. Create your own eye catching effects The sky's the limit. Edit the bevel, extrusion, colors, shadows, font and textures, experiment with the light colors and angles, try matt and shiny effects. What's more the design picker lets you quickly and easily copy your favorite effects from one heading to another. And all the controls are intuitive and interactive - for example you simply change the extrude depth by dragging on the side of the image! Awesome 3D animations Make your heading scroll in and out, rotate, fade, pulse, swing, or add ripple and typewriter effects. Plus there's control over the direction, speed, pause between loops and much more. Lights and text can be rotated separately and you can apply different animations to individual letters or lines. The effects are almost limitless! The results are perfect for eye catching headings on your website or the titles and credits for your movies and videos. And 3D screensavers too! Save your favorite 3D animations as eye-catching screensavers that can be freely distributed to friends, family and for business promotions. Optimized for on-screen viewing or printing Xara 3D Maker offers full anti-aliasing for the best possible onscreen quality, and there's optional background transparency so that headings can blend into the webpage background.
