Thursday, July 31, 2008



Boris Blue 2.5.1 is now available with support for Windows Vista and new NVIDIA & ATI drivers that are qualified by Avid & Adobe! In addition, we are pleased to announce new pricing and special offers...

• New Price: $595
• Crossgrade for Avid FX or Boris RED Users: $199
• Crossgrade for Boris FX or Boris Graffiti Users: $299

If you already use Boris Graffiti, Boris RED, or Avid FX, then you'll love Boris Blue. With Blue, you'll get...

- Much more speed for previewing effects and rendering effects. Boris Blue uses NVIDIA and ATI graphics cards for accelerated GPU rendering and preview. If you regularly create animated 3D titles in Boris Graffiti, Boris RED, or Avid FX, then upgrade to Blue and enjoy screaming-fast effects setup and rendering.

- Much more sophisticated 3D looks because it has more advanced 3D lighting, more advanced materials for 3D surfaces, true 3D shape deformers for all shapes, and custom bevels and extrusion faces.

- Fast, powerful 3D Particle Emitters for realistic simulation of smoke, fire, and sparks.

- The ability to import 3D model files such as .3ds (3ds Max) and .obj (Maya) geometry files, preserving individual geometry groups and maintaining editable texture and bump maps. This gives you access to an infinite number of new 3D shapes for your Boris Blue 3D effects.

- Advanced 3D Camera features including the ability to animate a camera along a bezier path. Have a camera stay focused on a specific 3D point or track another 3D object as its target while moving through 3D space.

- Better interface tools for composing 3D effects. The Boris Blue Composite Window offers split views for simultaneously viewing and adjusting your 3D scene from multiple perspectives. Blue also gives you improved 3D interactors for better manipulating objects in 3D space.

Boris Blue is available as a plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, Adobe After Effects CS3, and Avid editing and finishing systems on Windows. Blue may also be used as a standalone application.

"The television commercial work I produce for local clients typically has tight budgets and deadlines. I often find I can browse the settings library bundled with Boris Blue and modify one or more to design a unique 3D effect or transition quickly and efficiently. Also, both Boris Blue and Boris RED integrate seamlessly into the Avid Media Composer timeline, which speeds up my workflow. So, I can offer my clients 3D work on a 2D budget."
