For Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. 3D animations are no longer the exclusive province of full-time digital graphic artists. Make your web pages leap from your monitor and frighten small housepets with three-dimensional graphics. Build still or rotating cubes, disks, toroids, text and more. Add your own pictures. This plugin set uses the OpenGL Windows component — see the Q&A section for more. Important: We've heard rumors of a few systems with display adapters which incapacitate the OpenGL libraries, and disable this plugin. Prior to registering the 3D Effects #1 plugin set, we urge you to build an animation with at least one of the plugins and verify that you see a three-dimensional object in the final graphics. The Q&A section addresses the configuration issues for display adapters which exhibit this problem. Open the 3D Effects #1 demonstration window for some examples of what this plugin can do to still graphics. Depending on your network connection, it might take a minute or two for all the examples to load and begin animating correctly. This plugin can be installed in GIF Construction Set Professional 4 and PNG MNG Construction Set 4. Full alpha-channel support is available when this plugin is used to create true-color animations.

Downloading and installation of this software: You can ensure yourself of a problem-free installation by reviewing our downloading and installation instructions. The downloadable installer can be used to install either an evaluation copy or a fully-functional registered copy of this application.

Important: You might see a warning during download or installation of these installers concerning possible "malicious code." These messages are generated by Windows if you attempt to download and install most non-Microsoft software. They can be safely ignored.

Norton Antivirus users: Norton security products may generate spurious warnings about downloaded software installers, including some of ours. They appear as WS.Reputation alerts. Norton may delete incoming downloads when it generates this warning. WS.Reputation is not a virus — it's apparently an internal reputation ranking maintained by Symantec, which gets confused from time to time. Please see our support blog for more about it. In the event that you encounter this warning, we recommend that you disable Norton Antivirus to complete your download. It does not indicate the presence of a virus or malware in our installer.

If you're upgrading an earlier installation of this software, please see our discussion of version 4 upgrades before you begin. Doing so will save you no end of head-banging and typing.
