Mechanism and System Simulations A picture is worth a thousand words. What if you can't take a picture because your subject doesn't exist? How about a photo-realistic computer generated image. Liven up engineering documents and proposals. Show your design, in full color, without making any parts. Usually, 3D CAD models can be used to generate the model for rendering the final graphic. Add some animation and the applications are endless. Logos and Titles Company logos are a great way to increase name recognition, whether on paper, web pages, or video presentations. The animation capability lends itself well to video productions. Something as easy as flying in a logo or bringing up the lighting on it can make your logo more interesting. The best is to capture what your company or product is about in the animation of the logo. If you've already got video of your product, and want to liven it up with static or animated titles, BLADE can create them and even put them in your video through post-production. Re-creations for Legal Services Re-creation of accidents and product failures put on videotape can be a powerful tool for the legal profession. Because it's a simulation, it can be made without incriminating elements that might render it inadmissable in court. Architectural Simulations Interior and exterior architectural images and animations can be used to create a virtual environment to display achitectural concepts. Real images can be integrated into the computer model to, for instance, show a new building in an existing environment or a new piece of furniture in an existing room. Special Effects Movie special effects have been the basis of development for computer animation software. BLADE can create virtual effects, environments, creatures, and props to be worked in to movie post-production. Special capabilities such as virtual camera locating and tracking help simulated objects work smoothly into real-life footage.
