Spriteforge 3D 2 2D Spriteset Renderer
$16 - D-Grafix

Overview of Purpose:
What is SpriteForge?

SpriteForge is essentialy a tool for creating large numbers of 2D sprites from 3D models. You can 'photoraph' your model's animation frames (or simply it's static profile) from several different camera angles in just a few easy steps. Primarily designed for creating game sprites, spriteForge is also great for making 3D website graphics (ie spinning 3D logos), taking photos of a 3D model for sale, avatars for chatrooms, testing a model's animation, spriteForge has a multitude of uses, think of it as an advanced photo studio for your 3D models!

With SpriteForge you can even create sequences of many models at once, then simply choose the orbit positions and elevation you require. This makes SpriteForge perfect for creating for example; 2D 45'orthographic characters for an RPG style game, animated in all 8 directions!

How is it helpful over my 3D program's Renderer?
Take a 'top down' RPG, where everything has to be at an orthographic 30' camera elevation and in all 8 rotations (N NE E SE S SW W NW).
One very common practise to use a 3d modeller's output to do this. However, this can take a lot time to set up using camera paths etc, or for more basic users the old: 'move camera, take pic, move camera, take pic....' aproach. Imagine all the organising and planning, especially if you have lots of models to process that all have to follow the same pattern. In addition, with a modellers output its hard to get the frame dimensions to sprite ratio right, with SpriteForge you get it exactly right. (and if you so desire in a nice table!).
Finally, you can save your custom settings (or studio environment) for repeated use.

Adanaxis Rendering Demo
$0 - Mushware Limited

This is a demo of a forthcoming game in four spatial dimensions. The game takes place in a world entirely different to everyday experience. As well as left/right, up/down and forward/back, there's another direction in space - the fourth dimension. Objects phase in and out as your craft rotates into this hidden dimension. The game uses an all-new 4D texturing method to display the beautiful and fluid rotations and motion that are possible in four dimensions. All ten degrees of freedom are available for mouse and joystick control, to create an environment different to any other game. A simple scanner system and tutorial make the game easy to pick up. This demo contains three levels. A manual is provided in PDF format, and links to let you create your own levels. Display resolution can be selected to match the display, and there are the usual set of configuration and control menus.

Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter
$29.95 - PistonSoft

Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter is a fast audio utility that allows you to convert MIDI files to MP3, WAV, WMA and OGG formats. Our audio converter can quick render the MIDI file into an audio format that you can burn on an audio CD and play on a regular CD player. An essential difference between Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter and other similar programs is that our MID Converter provides direct MIDI conversion (rendering) without sound recording. The main advantages of direct MIDI conversion are the CD audio quality, the conversion speed and the silence during conversion. You don't need to listen to the MIDI music and adjust recording level while converting. Just drag and drop your MIDI files and the rest are done automatically by Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter. Conversion speed is up to 10 times faster then original midi file time! Musicians can use own SF2 soundfonts for rendering and change the instruments quality. A built-in audio player (with trackbar) helps you pre-listen to MIDI, MID, RMI or Karaoke files before converting. And the built-in easy-to-use OGG/WMA/MP3 Tag Editor helps you name your MP3, WMA or OGG tracks. The batch mode helps you simultaneously convert multiple MIDI tracks to MP3. The batch MIDI to WAVE conversion is very useful for creating musical collections on an audio CD. The resulting WAV or MP3 files can then be burned to an audio CD using any CD recording program. Or you can download it to your Apple iPod or other portable MP3 player. Using the Tempo change feature, you can create an album of your favorite MIDI or Karaoke MIDI compositions performed in any tempo. Quality options are adjustable. You can convert your favorite mobile phone MIDI ringtones to MP3 with adjustable reverberation. Direct MIDI to MP3 Converter is a great choice for MIDI artists, and amateur or professional musicians who compose MIDI music using digital pianos, keyboards or music sequencers and need a tool to convert MIDI (MID, RMI, KAR) files to popular audio formats.
