Create Presentations with 3D Pizazz

Imagine presentation software that allows you to use your imagination, adding 3D objects, music, narration, animation, and video to slides without having to open other screens or additional applications during your bit. That’s what the engineers at Dryfork Media Corp. (Orem, UT; dryfork.com) have done with their raison d’etre: Dryfork.

The key to Dryfork is that it is 3D oriented from the beginning. By way of comparison, think of drafting software and 3D MCAD. What you usually think when you hear presentation software is drafting. Dryfork is 3D MCAD.

With Dryfork, not only can you use 3D objects in your presentation, you can embed multimedia information that would otherwise take several slides in traditional presentation software. With Dryfork, multimedia, even mixed multimedia, is simply part of the slide. Slides can be as media rich and as intricate as you want. You can include information that moves at a timed pace, showing information in exactly the way you want your client to see. For example, say you are a software developer of specialized simulation applications. Dryfork lets you build a 3D slide with some text and an animation of one of your simulations. Then, in a third window on the same slide, you can have a window that ticks off increasing dollar values with the text “money saved” below it.
