ReelSmart Shade/Shape

Overview

ReelSmart Shade/Shape automatically turns your 2D artwork into 3D rendered imagery!

Read the DV Magazine article that says Shade/Shade "is the new king of the 'beveled' hill."
Read the in-depth LA Final Cut Pro Users' group review that says Shade/Shape is "easy to use, creative with good control and produces truly great 3-D type. At $89 it is a great deal."

Give your imagery volume and depth without the hassle of 3D modeling! ReelSmart Shade/Shape generates 3D models from your 2D graphical and picture elements using RE:Vision's powerful and proprietary shading-from-shape technology. The models are then lit and rendered in true 3D! Add further detailing to your 3D models by applying reflection and bump maps. As 2D elements merge and split in a sequence, ReelSmart Shade/Shape automatically merges and splits the geometry in an intuitve fashion!
