AvisPar is basically a group of programs for the rapid creation and development of 3D graphics and animations of high quality. The package is built around very common Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and thus is multiplatform (can run on different operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OSX and various Linux distributions). Among the APIs used to create the AvisPar is OpenGL which is the current industry standard in creating 3D graphics. The package has various special features and extra components essential for the creation of high quality, state-of-the-art media products and it also gives the user that unique and exciting experience that makes him comfortable as it is more powerful and easy to use.
The current situation (Zimbabwean) for animators and film producers (needing garages of processors to render high definition 3D animated clips), frequent power cuts, content creation and competition with the international community has led to the development of the package. AvisPar is GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) reliant thus easing on memory and processor usage as the rendering process is dependent on the power of the graphics card and not the PC processor or memory (all rendering is in real time). Other features include though not limited to :
The AvisPar Package is very promising as it has very wide range of uses. It can be used for creation of 3D animations, Adverts, Music videos, Film Visual Effects, Motion Capture, Game Creation, 3D Facial Expressions, and lots more depending on what the user want.
Here is a list of the programs that can be found in the Package with a brief description of what they do:
