Thank goodness for Swift 3D 6 (http://www.erain.com). It’s an US$129, 3D application made specifically for Flash designers. It allows them to draw simple shapes, type text, or import AI/EPS files and extrude them. You can then color and shade the model and animate it using a Flash-like Timeline.

Review: Prezi an easy, affordable non-linear presentation tool

By Cyndi Cashman

Prezi (http://www.prezi.com) is a Flash-based visualization, storytelling, and presentation tool that allows you to create nonlinear presentations. Using the simple editor, you can place text, images, video, Flash files, and draw lines to show relationships between each item. The final result is a visual map that lets users zoom in and out and navigate to content in a clickable environment.
