About Art-O-Matic (not including in this package)
-----------------

The cursors in this package were produced using 3Dize's
Art-O-Matic software.

Art-O-Matic automatically draws art.

Art-O-Matic is program that creates artistic "hand drawn"
looking illustrations using 3D objects, as well as photorealistic
and other styles.  Drag and drop objects and then drag the
mouse to interactively edit colors, position, rotation, style,
line thickness, lights, etc. to create frames of an animation.
Using unlimited Undo, these frames can then be replayed and
pasted into a GIF editor for saving as a GIF animation.  Or,
pasted into a cursor editor (such as AX-Cursors) for saving as
an animated cursor.

Also, people with no artistic skill can use Art-O-Matic to
easily produce impressive still images.  People with artistic
skill will find they are even more productive using Art-O-Matic
to automate or supplement some of their illustration.

The advantage of Art-O-Matic over a 2D editor is that editing
has full 3D flexibility and realism of artistic shading-- just
as an artist has when starting from an empty canvas.  For
example, a 2D editor is very limited in the kind of rotations,
shading, and lighting changes that can be done automatically.

The advantage of Art-O-Matic's over other 3D editors is that
it creates images that look "hand drawn" rather plastic.
Art-O-Matic can also create the "computer generated" and
photographic style of other 3D editors and combine all these
styles in one image.  Also, Art-O-Matic is extremely fast and
easy-to-use.  The learning curve is almost zero.  If you know
how to drag the mouse then you know how to use it.

Art-O-Matic's line drawing style is also useful technical
illustrations, especially for B&W printing and faxing.

If you use clip art, then you will find a good use for
Art-O-Matic.  It only costs $20, so add it to your toolbox
today!  Visit http://www.3Dize.com for a free trial copy.
