3D Text to your movies

[CalifDude]

Are any of you using a 3D text software application to add movie introductions or other title type animations to your completed movies? I've started investigating some of the different products that are available. Some of them are expensive, some are practically free.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Cool3D is being bundled with UVS and can create 3D title animations. It's actually pretty powerful, albeit slow and not the easiest program to master.

I'll echo what THoff said, although the tutorials do help.

... and I have to add, ruefully , that the bundled version of Cool 3D, while slow, is very much faster than Ulead's premium 3D program -- 3D Production Studio!!
