Director 8.5 Studio: with 3D, Xtras, Flash and Sound

There are now things that Flash does badly or not at all - sound and 3D. These two also happen to be the hottest areas for web development right now as more and more segments of the entertainment industry realise that for sound and 3D, and a heavyweight project, then Director is the tool of choice.

Who is this Book for?

• Multimedia designers interested in working with the net and/or multimedia computer graphics.
• Flash 5 users needing to deepen and perfect their Director skills required for working with 3D and more sophisticated interactivity than they can achieve with Flash.
  

What does the Book cover?
Director has long been established as the premier multimedia authoring tool. Version 8 brought closer web focus. But Director 8.0 did not include Flash asset management, nor was it capable of working in 3D. With the upgrade to 8.5, Director has become an important Flash compatible 3D development tool. This integration of two of Macromedia's most exciting graphics tools, as well as including a sophisticated 3D modelling environment means that Director 8.5 is not a half-version so much as a rapid response to a burgeoning and demanding market. Following the multi-author single-voice Studio format, this book brings together experts in the many different facets of Director lore and technique, programming and modelling.
