§
Animation of the Walt Disney kind takes artistic
skill and painstaking effort, but 3D Choreographer lets you create eye-catching
animations (.FLI files) without breaking a sweat. You can choose from a wide
variety of "actors,'' including people, animals and objects like pencils
and computers. Each actor is tunable so you can modify hair style, facial features
or coloring. Actions such as running, jumping and even smiling are built into
the program, so you don't need to deal with the details of how the actors
move--they just do. $149. AniCom, 800-949-4559, fax
