I had downloaded Ulead Cool 3D before, and I was pretty impressed, but never had I had a full version to play with. Cool 3D was a lot of fun. If you want 3D shapes and text that dissolve, fold, bend, some texture manipulation, and the creation of animated GIFs, Cool 3D is the program for you. It has three main insert functions text, graphics, and Geometrical objects. Cool 3D allows you to make graphics like stars and circles.
Geometrical objects are things like cylinders and spheres.
After you make them, you can flip them around and circulate the objects. The tools that make Cool 3D so useful is the bottom Style windows. This is where the click and drag brings your text and objects to life. You can have things dissolve, explode, expand, bend and shake. You can apply different effects to different objects.
