1、Basic Concepts (基本概念)

==========================================================
Basic Concepts     基本概念
The ProAnimator creates its own images. It does not process existing footage to give it a “3D effect”. Instead, you create a Solid and apply the ProAnimator filter to it.
ProAnimator创建其自身的影象。 它不处理现成的素材去给它一个“三维效果”。 相反，你可以建一个固态层应用这个ProAnimator滤镜。
The ProAnimator is more like a full application than it is a plug-in. Like After Effects it has a workflow style that is straight forward and quick to understand. Like most other plug-ins it can be used within minutes of opening it up. Unlike most plug-ins however, it has the depth of a full application. There is a tremendous amount of technology and workflow design packed into this program. The reason it was made as a plug-in is because a tight integration of a plug-in with its host speeds up the workflow, increases flexibility and raises the overall quality of the final work.
该ProAnimator是像一个完整的应用程序更比它是一个插件。 像After Effects中它有一个工作流程风格，就是直接了当，并很快理解。 像其他大多数插件在几分钟之内就可以使用打开它。然而，不像大多数插件，它有一个深奥的完整应用程序。 有大量的技术和工作流程设计纳入本程序。 它之所以是成为一个成功的插件是因为一个紧密集成的插件和加快了工作流程及增加了灵活性，提高了工作的综合质量。
To aid in getting the most from the ProAnimator, here is a short overview of the steps for creating a 3D graphic.
为了从ProAnimator得到最多的帮助，这里是一个用于创建一个三维图形的步骤的简要概述。
==========================================================
Modeling   建模
The ProAnimator creates its own models out of Adobe Illustrator files and Vector Clip art. Models can be modified using the controls in the Object Tab. A selection of over 100 preset edge “bevels” come built into the program.
创建自己的ProAnimator的Adobe Illustrator文件模型和矢量剪贴画。 使用对象选项卡中的控制对模型进行修改。 有超过100种边缘“倒角”的预设选择内置到程序中。
ProAnimator can also import models that were created in other 3D programs, build basic shapes of its own, and create models out of fonts. There are thousands of 3D models that can be purchased or downloaded for free from websites around the world. Look on the goodies page of our website for links to other websites that offer 3D models. (www.
ProAnimator也可以导入在其他程序中创建的三维模型，建立其自己的基本形状，并创造出字体模型。 有数千个三维模型，可以购买或免费下载，来自世界各地的网站。 看我们链接到其他网站的好东西，提供3D模型。

==========================================================

Surface Set Up   表面设置
The ProAnimator has a completely unique way of handling surfaces. Up to six different materials can be applied to each object and that object may use those six materials in a variety of ways. Once you use it you will see how the ProAnimator has finally given to 3D artists the tools to create a new generation of 3D title and logo graphics. Graphics like you have never seen before.
该ProAnimator有一个完全独特的表面处理方式。 多达六个不同的材质可以应用到每个对象和该对象可使用多种方式的六种材质。一旦你使用它， 你将看到ProAnimator如何最终给3D艺术家工具来创建一个新一代的3D标题和标志图形。 图形像你从未见过的。
==========================================================

Scene Set Up   场景设置
Setting up a 3D scene has been streamlined to make it easier for 2D motion graphic artists to make the jump to 3D. A scene can have as many objects as you need and objects or groups of objects can be rotated and positioned independently. Up to six lights can be used, and once you get your lights perfect they can be saved and reused in future projects. Object manipulation within the 3D scene is being done in a way that’s completely new. Single and multiple objects can be manipulated with speed and fluidity. There are a full compliment of short cut keys. Even nudge keys are supported.
建立三维场景已被简化，使其更容易从二维运动图形设计跳转到三维。 一个场景可以有你需要的很多对象，对象或对象组可以旋转并独立定位。 多达六个灯光可以使用，当你得到了完美的灯光，他们可以保存在未来的项目中重复使用。 3D场景的对象操作方式从某种程度上来说是完全新的。 单个和多个对象可以操纵以速度和流动性。 他们有完整的快捷键支持。 还有微调键的支持。
==========================================================

Animation   动画
The animation is handled completely from inside the ProAnimator interface. ProAnimator comes with Object and Camera presets that make it easy to apply an animation quickly, or let you resave and re-use any animation. ProAnimator also uses a behavioral animation system. This allows you to create effects such as cascades, path arches, twists and more easily! You can preview all your animation changes in real-time and adjust settings such as cascades instantaneously without having to adjust hundreds of keyframes.
动画的处理完全是从内部的ProAnimator界面。 ProAnimator配备对象和摄像机预置，可以很容易地快速应用一个动画，或者让你重新保存和再利用任何动画。 ProAnimator还采用了行为动画系统。 这使您可以创建诸如瀑布、路径拱门、扭曲和更容易的效果！ 您可以预览所有的实时动画的变化和调整设置，而不必调整数以百计的关键帧，如瀑布瞬间。
==========================================================
Rendering   渲染
The rendering engine is designed for the rigors of professional production. It creates beautiful images with excellent antialiasing, image mapping, bump mapping, reflection mapping, soft shadows, transparencies for glass effects, chrome effects, fly throughs, fly-bys and can even place After Effects movie footage onto any object in the 3D scene.
新的渲染引擎是专为严格的专业生产。 它创建具有优良的抗锯齿、图像映射、凹凸贴图、反射贴图、柔和阴影、玻璃效果的透明胶片、铬黄效果、飞得来、飞越，甚至可以置入AE影片素材到3D场景的任何对象。
