5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Program, Simple interface, January 7, 2002

Cool 3d allows you to create 360 degree photos in a very simple way. The interface is easy to use, but provides a great deal of features. You can import from differnt programd including adobe illustrator, and export your project to flash or use your project in a presentation program like powerpoint. This is a very powerful program for a very good price. Ulead has some great plug-ins that you can download for free from their website including a very good instruction manual and some great samples. It is a very stable, fast, and powerful program that maybe people overlook. a steal at 40 bucks!

5.0 out of 5 stars With a Little Effort, Excellent Results, September 3, 2003

This review is from: Cool 360 (CD-ROM)

I wasn't expecting much after a bad experience with Ulead's "Face Factory", but this product works well. As a test, I "organized" my work room (a bedroom with a bunch of computers and music gear) so everything was at about the same height. Then I set my 1 megapixel digital camera on a tripod on a small table in the middle of the room. I took 12 shots, rotating the camera to roughly match the hours on a clock. Then loaded the shots into the program and said "Go" (or whatever). It came out very good, pretty seamless, so that in Quicktime, you can mouse around the screen and feel like you're turning inside the room. Plus you can zoom in and out and raise and lower the view (a little). And, of course, the view is continuous, i.e. there is no "end" - you just keep turning and see the room again. Plus you can add Photoshop type filters to any or all of the shots for some interesting effects.

You do have to be careful about the clock hours views, if you don't align the shots like that you can get a discontinuity.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Frustrating, May 12, 2002

By 

"greggsacrs" (Roselle Park, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this product wanting to scan my 12X12 scrapbook pages and then "stitch" them together. Forget it! It's hard to line up the pages, as well as the system kept locking up!
