    Review OpenFX

It is a free and free project, perfect for those who need to create animations of all kinds, always betting on three-dimensional environments.

    Once you have installed this application on your computer with the Windows operating system, you will see that it allows you to perform a considerable amount of tasks, among which we can mention adding effects, inserting all kinds of figures, writing text, importing or self-created animations.

    What sets this platform apart from others like it? Above all, the level of realism we can achieve with the tools it offers. If you want to create three-dimensional animations and acquire high-quality details, you do not doubt this is an excellent option in the field. And if we add to that the fact that it is entirely free and an open-source system, the advantages are total.

    For example, suppose you want to create shapes. In that case, you have to know that this service has a vast amount of them preloaded, among which we can find spheres, cones, or cylinders, regardless of whether they occupy most of the view or want them as an accompaniment to other more critical elements.

    And once you have finished your creation, we recommend you look at the different available post-processing effects. Thus, you will find yourself possibly adding or removing light from the image or animation and adding fog if you want it to look a little more blurry. Undoubtedly, these final effects will help you give a personal touch to each of your creations.

    Even if the contents offered by this program are not enough, you should know that there is a plug-in section that you can view, download and install in each case to improve your user experience or customize it. Here you should take some time to review in detail what each of them can offer you, taking into account that there are many differences among them, and each one modifies the use of the program.

    For what kind of users is OpenFX recommended? Really for everyone, because although we will need some time to get used to its options in case we are novices with these programs, there is no doubt that it is an intuitive one, which we can quickly begin to take advantage of to generate our animations, and thus, become specialists in a short period.

    You don't have to worry if you notice that at the beginning, you can't think of too many things, and your imagination is somewhat asleep since this OpenFX distribution has some examples of models already made by other users, as well as finished animations and even textures. In our tests, we have used these contents already incorporated to give us an idea of the power of creation that this platform has.

    In addition, in the Help and tutorials section, which is located within the main menu Help , you can find a good amount of step by step that teaches you how to make your creations thanks to this program. You'll find rather basic tutorials, ideal for those who are just trying their luck with their animations, and other much more advanced ones for when you are looking for professional results.

    Beyond all of the above, the varied Video and XVideo filters that this system can also offer us stand out, ideal for finishing that personal touch that brings the results closer to a professional production.

    And what about the program's interface? This a perfect one, which we can highlight because, despite the vast number of functions available within this application, it is easy to find each one of them. However, you have to consider that the program is only available in English, so you will likely have to use a translator to understand specific actions at some point.

    In summary, it can be said that OpenFX is a highly recommended program both for those people who want to make their first tests with animations and images in three dimensions, as well as for those users who have previous knowledge in the field. Accuracy in the details and a considerable amount of options, plug-ins, and effects are some of the features that make this platform stand out.

    In our tests, we could generate a good amount of animations of all types even though we had hardly any idea how to do them, based on the built-in models we mentioned before, which are of enormous help. The program behaved stably at all times, with no screen freezes or delays in responding to our actions.
