CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on November 17, 2009
MAGIX 3D Maker is an intuitive program that creates attractive 3D and animated graphics. Even users with no graphic design knowledge can produce professional-looking logos, Web buttons, screensavers, and more.
The program's interface is fairly well organized, although a visit to the built-in Help file is recommended to get the most out of the program's features. A background in graphic design may be a slight advantage in using MAGIX 3D Maker, but with a bit of experimentation, anyone can get the hang of it. It's easy to create basic 3D text and customize the fonts, colors, and lighting effects. MAGIX 3D Maker also comes with a variety of buttons and other shapes to which users can add text and features. We especially liked how easy it is to animate your 3D creations. We've seen similar programs that made animation difficult and confusing, but with MAGIX 3D Maker, you simply choose from a wide variety of animation styles and preview the effect each one will have on your 3D graphic. When you're satisfied with the results, you can save them in a variety of formats, including Flash objects and animated GIFs. Overall, we were quite impressed that MAGIX 3D Maker offers so many features but does so in a way that's easy to understand. This is a great choice for anyone who needs to create snazzy graphics without a lot of fuss.
MAGIX 3D Maker has a 30-day trial period. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.
