Insofta Cover Commander 3.1.3

Posted by admin under Software

No matter what’s in the box, shoppers will not value it if the box doesn’t have a captivating cover. A great cover conveys a compelling message that the product under the cover is worth their attention… and their money. Cover Commander creates professional, custom-designed three-dimensional virtual boxes for your software, e-books, DVDs, manuals, CD-ROMs, and even screenshots. A simple picture, Cover Commander Wizard, and a few mouse clicks are all that’s necessary to get the job done. The program’s extensive light, shadow, and reflection controls allow you to render a box or a cover of just about any complexity and see the final product as it is being made in the real-time preview window. The intelligent project creation wizard does the complex work for you, thus you can concentrate on the creative part of your project.

Perfect 3D Covers for Any Web Site

Quite often a box shot that you’ve ordered from a professional designer does not look good on your Web site after you re-design your site later. ? soft shadow on white background looks differently from a shadow on dark-green background. Cover Commander takes this issue into account, producing just the perfect virtual cover that will blend into your Web site. If you decide to change your site’s background later, you won’t need to contact that book’s cover designer again; you simply open your Cover Commander project and change background color with a couple of mouse clicks.

No matter how complex your Web site design is Cover Commander will create a box shot that looks just right in your layout. Extensive background color and transparency, gradient, shadow and reflection controls will create you the box or cover you want. Refer to Virtual Cover Gallery for samples.

Speaking Their Language

Cover Commander user interface is available in multiple languages, so no matter where you live and what language you speak – you can still create high-quality covers that would sell your product and help you become the number one in your market.

Reasons To Go With Cover Commander

Get your cover designed in just a few mouse clicks.
Create multiple projects, parse multiple images - with a single command (batch mode).
Let the built-in wizards do the dirty work for you and focus on the artistic details of the cover.
Save the result image with transparent background and use the picture for the complex web or print designs.
Save the light, shadow, and reflection settings under a unique name and use those settings in other projects.
Set the result image size (up to 4000×4000) and margins in pixels.
Draw your customer’s attention with an animated box, cover or screenshot.
Cover Commander does not require 3D accelerator to render 3D objects.
Don’t pay more than what it actually costs to create a great cover. Create additional covers at no cost at all!

Professional Looking 3D Box Shots in No Time

No doubt you can create a great looking box shot in Adobe Photoshop ($649). The question is: how much time are you willing to invest in learning how to achieve this seemingly simple task?

Cover Commander (693 RUB 990 RUB) offers more precise controls over the process of creating a perfect 3D box shot, while removing the steep learning curve associated with any general use graphics editor.

Draw even more attention to your product with an animated 3D box, cover or screenshot. Just a couple of extra clicks will create a dynamic animation flashing all kinds of effects that would captivate your customer’s eye.

You can boost your productivity by times with Cover Commander’s command-line options: parse same project with different sets of images, create multiple projects with a single command, and do much more - just untie your imagination. Command-line options are a real “panacea” for “heavy” projects - catalogs, stores, etc.
