Zuma's
Features List
· Automatic audio-driven music
visualizations. Experience and create wildly
entertaining, deeply moving, interactive
3D Music Videos that automatically responds to
your favorite MP3 and CD music in real-time.
· Jam along to the music with
tons
of interactive "Hot Keys" and "Magic Sliders"
that completely transform the scene in real time to your
every gesture. But don't worry, your
gestures always add into the automatic
music visualization effects in a non-destructive
way so they blend harmoniously
in with the music. You can do no wrong. Zuma
lets you become a real time 3D
VJ that doesn't drop a beat. Amaze your friends.
· Create
your own "3D MTV"-like Music Videos
for your band or just for the fun of it. Comes with a built
in library of over 64 scenes complete with models and textures
to start with that you can easily edit and customize for
your own songs to create completely new scenes. Any and
all of your changes are savable with a simple click of the
mouse.
· Utilizing the free WildTangent
Compressor utility you can bring
in your own images (jpgs and pngs) and
3d models (Microsoft Direct 3D objects). Just
drop them into your texture or model libraries.
Put a picture of your band, your girlfriend or yourself
into the scene. And with the growing popularity of free
3d Model web libraries you can add just about anything into
your Zuma eMovie. You are both
Producer and Director.
· You can organize your custom
scenes into banks of easily selectable scenes for "on
the fly cuts" to match up song changes or
even individual song transitions. Or if you prefer use our
"Auto Scene Timer"
feature to automatically step thru the entire bank of
scenes at whatever pace you select. You can also use banks
to organize your scenes by themes
such as Rave, Dance, Meditation, etc. You choose.
· You have full
3D control of the navigation of the Virtual Camera
in your 3D Music Video scene. Frame the scenes "your
way". Again, you are the Director,
you decide. · Built In DeepEdit
Mode that allows you tons more customization
and editing choices than Lava, totally
recreate the scene in your our style. In the
DeepEdit mode virtually every parameter of the scene is
available for your real time customizing even while it is
responding to the music in real time. Zuma represents "The
Ultimate Creative Artists Authoring Environment". Jam
and Create! Create and Jam!
· With the addition of the
also freely available WildTangent Game Driver SDK that extends
our native Wildtangent Web Driver support you can greatly
enrich your professional customization options to include
the import of entire 3D Studio
Max scenes. 3D Characters and models even
with their attached animations or even entire
Wildtangent levels with all their animations can be brought
into Zuma. Try to do that in Lava, you won't have much luck.
·
Complete Full Screen Mode with no distracting boarders
for rich in your face high-resolution graphics at, in many
cases, better than film frame rates for smooth flowing music
animations. · Full 32-bit Color
support as opposed to Lava's 16-bit for visually
rich scenes with multiple levels of vibrant transparency.
· Support now for WinAmp, Sonique or Ultra Player audio
players from a simple preference setting as opposed to Lava's
current WinAmp only support.
· Zuma includes
fully editable Lights (brightness, color, position,
etc) that can be animated to the music.
· Full
Midi support.
· Complete time domain manipulation
of all parameter envelopes driven by audio, animators, and
keyboard for smooth professional "ADSR"
(Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release) like effects.
· An included, unique collection
of special models that are not like most 3D Models which
are just a dumb mesh of unrelated vertices. Instead, these
are parametric models of mathematical formulas that represent
pure polyhedral classes.
These are classes that at the same time seem to be almost
infinitely variable but yet also maintain a certain "Platonic
Recursion" if you will. That recursive beauty is the
pure math nature of these PlatonicModel
Classes that makes them so lightweight and highly
optimized for the demanding task of real time manipulation
and music visualization over the Internet.
·
Extremely small file size. Which makes it ideal
for sharing your latest 3D MTV like creation via email with
your friends. Exchange textures and model resources with
each other to build up and expand your libraries.
· Even beyond music videos,
you can use Zuma, with or without music, to
create deeply powerful meditative spaces and
truly beautiful 3D Art. Enjoy
