A Sample 3D Storyboard from FrameForge 3D Studio

Here is the 3D storyboard by Mukesh Tiwari. First you see the shots that Mukesh Tiwari picked from the library of thumbnail storyboards. Then you see the same shot done with FrameForge 3D Studio - demo version which is free. I think you will agree that the 3D images look fantastic, specially when compared with the thumbnail storyboards. What make is more exciting is FrameForge 3D Studio is fun to use. Free and fun; a great combination!

FrameForge 3D Studio - Demo Version

Important to all filmmakers
The most important thing to understand about this lesson is you can download and begin using the demo version of FrameForge 3D Studio immediately. All of the figures and the movie sets construction tools are built in. You can place characters into the scene and immediately look at them through different lenses. For a filmmaker, this is amazing. And since the demo version is free (for 20 uses), it is fantastic! It is rare that I can find a program that I can really recommend so highly. Robert Elliott
