Mars Invasion Made Easy!

ImpactPlus 5 includes sensational 3D animation software and a new 360° angle mobile camera feature which will make you feel just like a movie director with a camera monitor at your side! Watch as a spaceship from Mars descends on the Serif building and the particle effects evaporate our call center manager! Simply overlay ImpactPlus features on top of MoviePlus videos to create stunning movies full of outstanding effects that will astound any audience!

ImpactPlus 5 contains a host of ready to use 3D objects. Mars is taken from one of the planet presets and this is where our sample movie begins...

Easy Looping Animations

It's amazingly easy to make your animated objects perform lengthy and looping changes in rotation, color, position - in fact any of the animation attributes are a snip to extend or repeat.

With a small change in rotation, for instance, it's possible to extrapolate the change and continue it for any number of frames, so that the rotation continues at the same rate. This technique was used to make Mars continue to rotate throughout the opening scene in our explosive movie.

Create Incredible 3D Credits

Impressive Preset Paths For Smooth Animation - with a single click or drag you can add cool 'paths' to your scene. Paths are curved or straight lines that other objects in your 3D world can follow in your animations. You can even animate one path along another and have objects follow complex waveform patterns.

Exciting Camera Animation - Creating an animation is even more fun with the mobile camera. Simply manipulate its position and orientation in your scene to see things from different angles. The camera moves through your scene easily and when you export your scene the results will be just as if you're looking directly through the eyes of your mobile camera - Wow!

In our sample movie, we've attached the camera object to a path during the opening credits, so that ImpactPlus 5 leaps out at you in glorious 3D!

Jet Trails, Laser Beams And Explosions!

Stunning Preset Particle Systems - With a single click, new particle presets add an amazing level of impact! Simply drag and drop to transform your images with rain, snow, wisps of smoke, raging fire, explosions, candle flames, fireworks, billowing clouds, bubbles and lava to name a few! You can even create your own particles in the powerful workshop.

Powerful Particle Workshop

The all-new Particle Workshop allows an unprecedented level of control for creating customized particle systems. Manipulate them to produce virtually any effect that involves movement of shapes under the influence of gravity, in a vortex, in 3D orbit and even change color, transparency, direction and speed.

In our movie, you'll see how the particle effects are used to produce the flying saucer's jet trails, laser beam, and resulting explosions. Find out how easy it is when you order this 3D superstar now.
