Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

Very good & simple software and as far as I know the only box shot software for Mac. Some comments:
1) I couldn't find a list of supported image file formats. PNG works but some others not.
2) None of the input elements show units, I guess most of them are using pixels.
3) The rendering speed is very poor. It's a pity they don't seem to make use of the extensive hardware-accelerated libraries in Mac OS X. Running the software through Shark might help too.

Good stuff - appsforlife

Let me comment your list:
1. Box Shot 3D supports BMP, JPEG and PNG formats for reading and writing.
2. There are no units. You may think that all dimensions are measured in percents. Each relative to over. Maybe I need to describe this in more details in help.
3. Box Shot 3D uses raytracing and even powerful Mac's hardware can't help ;) But it uses all CPU cores what your Mac have to speedup the rendering. Box Shot 3D has powerful 3D-kernel, that was polished for free years and it is hard to speed it up more.

Thanks for the comments and feel free to share your ideas in our blog or by our contacts form.
