EIAS is a suite of several high-end applications giving you the power, quality, and sophistication you expect from a 3D software program. These applications include Animator, Camera, Renderama, and Radiosity. This suite of applications continues its legacy of creating breathtaking character animations, building new worlds with 3D matte painting, and design sophisticated product concepts — you can do all of this and more with EIAS! So don’t be suckered into spending thousands of dollars on inferior 3D applications. The Electric Image Animation System has been used to create some of the most lavish Blockbuster Films in history while delivering the speed you need to get your work done ON time and UNDER budget! The speed results speak for themselves.

Animator

EIAS Animator has all the tools needed to produce your own snapshots or a Blockbuster Film like "Star Wars!" With advanced Character Animation Tools, Global Illumination, Real-Time Camera Mapping, True-To-Life Motion, Blur Previews, and a swarm of other technologies, Animator is what you need to envision your projects into reality.

EIAS Animator takes artists to worlds beyond EI Tech. Group’s previous Animation System. Animator has the capability to work with projects that have polygon counts in the millions. So, when other applications choke on the polygons, EIAS Animator will purr like a finely tuned sports car. Quit wasting time waiting for screen updates and viewing simple wireframes when you can have OpenGL shaded previews and frame rates not seen in packages under $10,000!

Camera

Now that you have brought your visions to life with Animator it is time to form them into reality! With all the hard work gone into creating your vision why stop short with a poor rendering system that doesn’t do justice to your work. Take control of your vision and give it the power, speed, and quality it deserves! EIAS Camera is the answer to your needs. EIAS delivers several new features with up to a 300% speed increase in Ray Traced renders. Camera now supports caustics and file images larger than 2GB. You have absolutely no limitations on the size and quality of your images.

EIAS’s Camera is a photo realistic raytracing and scanline rendering system that is seamlessly integrated within the EIAS package. Camera has proven to be the fastest rendering engine in the industry over a span of many years, and now EIAS brings this legacy to new platforms. In fact, Camera’s speed is surpassed only by its ability to handle an incredible amount of data and render beautiful imagery.

Transporter

The Transporter application has been significantly rewritten for this release. Transporter now runs under Mac OS 9, OS X and the Windows operating systems. It can import files from the newer LightWave file format (LWOB) that was introduced in LW 6. Transporter will import UVs from .obj files. The user interface has been completely rewritten to use OpenGL There are a variety of window shortcuts for viewing vertex and face normals. You can display models in wireframe or shaded modes. As in previous versions, Transporter is not protected with a dongle.

GrangerFX Plug-in Support

You can now render directly to the .vfx file format supported by the GrangerFX plug-ins for After Effects (Mac and Windows) and Premiere Pro (Windows). These powerful plug-ins (included with EIAS) enable real time transitions and effects for these compositing applications. Over 600 MB of tutorials, sample projects, and sample video are included to get you started making your own transitions, bumpers, "bugs" and overlays. EIAS also includes the ability to create files for the GlobeCaster. A separate version of EIAS .
