Flash Rendering Plug-in for Softimage|XSI

Electric Rain has just released a plug-in for SOFTIMAGE|XSI that renders your 3D scenes to the Flash (SWF) file format. Thatâ€™s right, 3D to vectors. Flash has opened new frontiers in delivering interactive and engaging content via the Web, and the Flash Playerâ€™s ubiquity is the key to your diverse publishing needs. The Swift 3D XSI plug-in allows you to turn your XSI scenes into lightweight and scalable vector-based animations that can be viewed on almost any machine or device. With Swift 3D XSI, your 3D content can now go anywhere the Flash Player goes.

Harness the Industry-Leading Rendering Engine
Swift 3D XSI is built around Electric Rainâ€™s RAViX II rendering engine, which has set the standard for Flash output in the 3D world. Able to handle complex models (250,000+ polygons) and render complete animations, Swift 3D XSI can re-purpose your content into the most popular vector-based file formats including Macromedia Flash (SWF), AI, EPS and SVG. RAViX II respects cameras, lights and colors in your XSI scenes, and while exporting youâ€™ll be able to gain complete control over rendering styles by choosing from 5 levels of cartoon shading, 2 levels of gradient shading, 3 levels of outlines, shadows and specular highlights.
