MAIDSTONE, Kent, Aug 22, 2007 - Today Microspot released the latest free Interiors library of the month. This month it is a demonstration library showing the principle that library items may be animated in Interiors or Modeler and then dragged back into the library. They retain the animation so they can be dragged into another animation later and their tween points adjusted to provide movement at the correct time.

The download library also contains a sample file and QuickTime movie to demonstrate the principle of this powerful and unique feature to users. They may create their own animated objects, such as doors that open on various kitchen cabinets or appliances, and store them in their own libraries and then place them in rooms they design to make more complex animations.

This feature will appeal to manufacturers or designers that want to create walkthroughs showing their products in customer’s premises. If these products need to be animated, for instance to show internal features, it saves making the animations of the individual objects for each new walkthrough.

To see an example animation go to http://www.microspot.com/downloads/animDemo.mp4. Users may download their library at http://3d.microspot.co.uk or visit the Library Download site available in the help menu of the program.

Microspot Interiors is a high quality, low cost 3D interior design tool for Mac OS X. Microspot Interiors allows you to draw your room outline to scale with easy to use wall drawing tools then drop in furniture items to try different layouts. When the design is complete it can be rendered with smooth edges and real shadows for photographic realism. The completed design can be printed or exported in many different picture formats for use in other documents. Fully rendered walkthrough animations can be saved as movies and can be played on any computer with QuickTime.

Microspot Interiors is available from the Apple Retail stores worldwide and from other resellers. For more information or to try the demonstration version go to the Microspot web sites in the US www.microspot.com or in Europe www.microspot.co.uk. Microspot Interiors has a MSRP of $129.00 (£79.00 or €119.00).

System Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4. Macintosh G4 with 512MB RAM and 700MB free disk space.
