Take advantage of layering and other digital techniques to create stunning, interactive compositions suitable for delivering instructional content and presentations on your iOS or Android device. This book shows you how to move from traditional paper and pen drawing to 3D content that can be interacted with by the viewer. Designed to be used on tablets, the Mental Canvas app is a reimagining of presentation software in the digital age that uses patented technology developed by a research team at Yale University. Whether producing concept drawings, storyboards, tutorials, sales presentations, or other forms of interactive media, you'll learn the skills to transform boring presentations into something exciting and new! You'll create stunning panoramic views; allow viewers to move through your artwork with multiple scenes; publish to the web for viewing on any smart phone, tablet, or computer; import image files; and export animated fly-throughs as .mp4 files. Mental Canvas can be used by individual creatives or as part of a collaborative design team sharing files between multiple devices giving global instructional design firms an edge over their competition. Provide fun, interactive, and engaging presentations and throw out those boring click-through, static presentations of the past.
