Popims Animator creates animations (cartoons, morphing, warping, color filters, video) and produces animated gifs, video files, and printed images to be viewed through a specific lenticular screen called MiniPopims delivered with the software. Start from any graphic, picture or video file, print the computed image with a standard ink-jet printer. Slide it under your screen and view all images one after the other when you move around the screen. The MiniPopims screen has the size of a credit card. It is included in the price, and the postal fee also. You can stick it with your personal animation on your notebooks, on your desk, on your bedroom door, or on the family van, and change animations as often as you wish. Its a complete new technology which has been patented throughout the world. The screens comprise tens of thousands of tiny little spherical lenses that are almost invisible. Although these lenses are very small, the number of images is great (ex. 30 for a MiniPopims screen), and the image computed by the software is not stuck to the screen, but removable. This means the screen becomes a permanently re-usable device, that you can use all your life with thousands of different animations. Another advantage is that Popims Animator produces animations as video files and animated gifs that you can send to your friends by email. The version you can download from the Internet is the demo version. It does not allow you to save or print your work.
