create photo realistic nature animations

Our Rating: (Very Good!)

Nature Illusion Studio can transform your nature photos into realistic animations using visual and audible effects. You can add water effects (flow, ripple, waves) to select areas of the image, using a simple draw-on mask that will turn a static lake into a photo realistic animation while leaving the rest of the photo unchanged. Furthermore, you can add weather effects like snow and rain, as well as animated objects. The result can be previewed and then saved as screensaver, standalone executable, animated GIF or video file. The program works best with landscape images, especially waterfall and lake sceneries.

Pros: Easy to use with draw-on masks to apply effects to parts of the image; photo realistic results.

Cons: Does not offer Flash export.
