Imandix 3D Preview

[MrHenryDog]

This Software is Freeware.

There is no setup. Simply extract the zip archive
"IMANDIX_Cover.zip" into a folder of your choice
and run Cover.exe.
personally i have the folder hidden away in my documents and a shortcut to
the .exe on the desktop

please read the terms of use before using

how to use:
LOAD the cover
select your template - i use the standard one
RENDER
at the top you can select the background and case colour, the background needs to be set to 40/40/40 for this site (you need to render the image again to make the background change)
i have mine set at free pixels 800x532
turn off shadows and light or have them low
SAVE RESULTS
job done

imandix is clever and will adjust the spine width according to your cover size.

Has anyone tried the pro version. I have tried it but it keeps crashing on me.

I have both versions ... Pro works fine for me when I need it although there's a few mods i'm still wishing for ... running on Windows XP SP2

When saving or 'exporting' the file from IMANDIX, it's a good idea to reduce quality to about 85%. Whilst having no noticeable difference to the output image the filesize is reduced by about two thirds.

very nice thx

thanks for this man.

sweet ty been after this as when ive tried mine it keeps putting imandix trial writeing on the front and its really annoying i also had the pro one which did that also even tho i had the key etc but nm lol

will try this and hopefully it works :)

Can someone help me with this .... Everytime I save the image it takes on a blue cast throughout the image, it does look attractive and usable but it's not a true interpretation of the design I want to display. I am using Windows Vista service pack 1

For some reason IMANDIX does that 'blue cast' thing under Vista... but that's only how it looks in Explorer. If you attach the same 'blue cast' preview to a post here it will be displayed correctly. Alternatively open up the jpg file in PSP or Photoshop and resave it, that fixes the display problem.

IE8 has a similar colour rendering issue with certain JPG formats as Vista has. There appears to be no simple fix.

Try opening up this page in IE8 as well as Firefox or some previous version of IE to see the difference.
