Columbus is a software program with a varied and
multi-faceted are of use. Above all, it serves the purpose of
illustrating travelling routes on road and city maps. Simply
film a map and play it back in your Casablanca as a scene. Now
use Columbus to create a route directly on this map.
The routes can be animated and created in variable
ways. Key-frames can be used to define the route from any
starting point to any end point.
Determine the speed of the route "drawing", change the brush
color and width, or create stop-points and label these with
city names for instance. Use the included 3D objects (eg.
cars, airplanes, arrows, pencils,...) to draw the route. If
you intend to add stop-points to your route, Columbus can be
used to automatically create multiple part-scenes when
rendering. These can be used in conjunction with the included
special effects. The special effects inside Columbus can - as
opposed to the standard effects - be applied to a position on
the screen (eg. a stop-point on the map), from which the
following video scene is zoomed, rotated or faded in.
The days when you had to deal with maps, felt-tip pens and
other tricks are now, thanks to Columbus, numbered. Columbus
is based on the wishes and suggestions of our customers.
Columbus includes several predefined maps.
Be creative and use the many settings of Columbus - it's
totally easy to create your own individual route!
