MetaCreations Infini-D 4.5 sealed boxed software on CD for Macintosh and Windows. Requires Mac System 7.6.1 or Windows 95/NT

Professional Intuitive Control
Infini-D makes 3D animation feel like second nature, featuring the perfect balance of professional 3D animation features within an intuitive working environment.
Maximize productivity levels with readily-accessible controls and fast previews.
Use the Ground Plane, targeted cameras and lights, and camera and light field-of-view cones for fast feedback and optimal positioning. 3D animation control has
never been more precise with an event-based sequencer, editable motion paths, true spline morphing, and more. The expanded dynamic multires capability, mesh editor and spline modeler provide supreme modeling capabilities.
Rendering Power on Demand
Get broadcast-quality results on the most demanding schedule using Infini-D's blazingly fast new renderer.
Excellent options like network and Internet rendering on the Mac, plus batch, accelerated interactive and
fault-tolerant rendering save time when there's no margin for error. Infini-D works seamlessly with digital video systems including field rendering, full NTSC/PAL color correction controls, non-square pixels, ShadowCatchers" and more. Produce superior texture map quality with MIP mapping and summed area tables, and find ready support for After Effects filters.

Extraordinary Special Effects
Incorporate the widest range of the ultimate high-end special effects using tools like Infini-D's powerful particle systems with instant feedback, collision detection, particle warps and full customization. Apply dramatic 3D lighting effects such as visible light beams and rays, along with animated deformations for 3D objects like bend, bulge, twist, and wave. Integrated lens flares make
fast work of realistic lens flares, glows, explosions, and more, while Boolean rendering helps create complex 3D shapes and "carving" animations.
MetaStream Authoring Tool
Create and transmit streaming 3D objects (metastream over the internet). MetaStream objects can be rotated, scaled and manipulated by viewers using the free MetaStream browser plug-in
