Special Effect Software
Below
is a list of Award-winning special effect software that's been used to
create some of
the best special effects seen in today's blockbusters from around the
world. These powerful software are used by the experts in the
industry who live a breathe special effects every single day of their
lives.
The good news is that people like you and me can
also use these software since they run on ordinary PC systems that we
use everyday. Gone are the days when these software needed special
super-computing workstations to work their magic. A normal PC or Mac
with 1GB RAM and good processing power is normally sufficient to run
these packages.
Another unbelievable fact is that all these special
effect software can be LEGALLY downloaded FREE of Cost from their
respective company websites. Of course, these are trial versions that
work
for a limited number of days, but many of them are fully-functional
versions with all the features intact. Unbelievable but true!
