PhotoCaster, AlphaMania and the Effector Sets Crack With Serial Key Latest

There are two ways to get Photoshop graphics into Director - the PhotoCaster way and the hard way. Before PhotoCaster, multimedia developers and artists had to spend untold hours tediously exporting, indexing, importing, repositioning, renaming, and cursing. Now that PhotoCaster has arrived those hours have just become free time.

PhotoCaster is an Xtra for Macromedia Director that lets you bring your Photoshop files, layer by layer, into your Director cast with one click. Each layer appears as an individual cast member, indexed, anti-aliased, properly registered, transparency preserved and good to go!

Media Lab's AlphaMania and Effector Sets bundle of Xtras bring cross-platform and interactive special effects to Director. Swirling, colorization, magnification, blurring, embossing - all interactive and controllable.

These effects are programmed in straight to-the-metal C code and give outstanding performance. They are fast and reliable.

With Effector Sets you can apply multiple effects simlutaneously, and control their order. With our handy Set FX interface and a complete library of behaviors, no Lingo programming is required. For authors who do want absolute control they will find a whole library of new Lingo commands and properties available to them.

AlphaMania is the base engine - it creates a new custom cast type in Director that acts pretty much like a normal bitmap castmember. The other two Xtras, Effector Set I and Effector Set II, plug into AlphaMania and provide the special effects.
