Digital Anarchy Releases Data Animator 1.0
October 28, 2005
Marin County, CA - Digital Anarchy, a provider special effects software for Adobe After Effects, announced the availability of Data Animator 1.0 ($429), a new way of creating animated charts and graphs.
Data Animator's eight plug-ins create a wide range of chart types from business graphics to scientific visualization. The results are useful for news programs, simulated displays, corporate communication projects and any other animated visualization of data. Users import a tab-delimited text file to build the chart, then customize the look and animation of their data. Features include separate controls for the chart and data elements, a column/row sorter, legend/label manager and a depth choice of 2D or 3D charts.
Seven plugins each offer unique visualization options for animating seven different chart types, from simple pie displays to more complex stock graphs. An eighth plugin, EasyChart, provides a custom interface and chart presets for animating the data. Because Data Animator dynamically updates the source data file, it is great for collaborative work and projects started before the data is finalized.
The features in Data Animator include:
* Seven different chart types for business graphics and scientific visualization, including: Bar, Line, Pie, Range/Stock, Bubble, Polar and Timeline charts
* Most charts can display as flat 2D, faux 3D (2.5D) or true 3D
* Load data in via standard tab-delimited files and have it update automatically
* Handles large data sets, including stock market prices
* Control over the animation of each chart element
* Each chart element can be separated so additional effects can be applied
* Flexible labeling and font control
Data Animator is currently only available for Windows. A Macintosh version is scheduled for release on Nov. 15, 2005. Regularly priced at $495, Data Animator will be available for $429 during its first month of release. Data Animator works in After Effects 5.0 and higher and runs on Windows 98ME-XP Pro. Demo filters are also available at the site.
