Enhanced Dimensions launches RockCandy 3D, a collection of more than 40 stereoscopic, royalty free, music themed 3D animations including editable Stereo 3D Title Plates, exclusive tutorials and an associated collection of royalty free stock media assets.

Enhanced Dimensions, the independent 3D filmmaking production facility run by Stereoscopic 3D filmmaker Andrew Murchie has announced the availability of RockCandy 3D – Stereoscopic Stock Resource Pack.

RockCandy 3D offers over 40 royalty free, stereoscopic, pre-rendered animations designed for use as stock media in music related productions. Each animation is supplied fully pre-rendered ready for use, but with flexibility for more experienced motion graphic experts to easily adapt text on title plates, adjust the parallax point to suit the deployment screen size or to layer additional elements over the animations. The RockCandy 3D Collection is available in 3 editions aimed at VJ’s, Motion Graphic Artists and Broadcast media with appropriate licence rights included with each edition. Included with the Pro and Broadcast Editions are an associated royalty free media collection along with tutorials and a whole host of other extras. The collection also gives Adobe After Effects users access to the eD-3D Virtual Rig and associated tutorials as used in the creation process for the RockCandy 3D.

Andrew Murchie, Director at Enhanced Dimensions said – “We’ve seen a real growth in interest in using our animations since our launch last year, and with our experience in working with musicians and the music industry we felt our first collection should be based around music and musicians. The RockCandy 3D collection is a great starting point for club VJ’s to break into stereoscopic 3D, along with motion graphics developers who’ll find a whole range of helpful stereo 3D resources, tutorials and pre-created stereoscopic media that make creating amazing 3D animations an absolute breeze. Users of this collection don’t need to concern themselves with the complexity of stereoscopic production – they can just dive-in and have fun.”

Andrew continued, “Offering the broadcast edition delivers a cost effective package of 3d media for music & music themed broadcasts worldwide. The animations can be used as they are or have additional elements layered over them. We created this with the media actually being supplied at wider than 1920 so there is the ability to easily adjust this for variable screen sizes, and also to facilitate moving the 3d effect back into the screen for layering additional elements over in 3d space.”
