The biggest leap forward for the #1 kids drawing and painting creativity software in a decade, our brand new Kid Pix Deluxe 3D has everything your young artist needs to tell their stories and adventures on screen. The "3D" part of the name refers to the wonderfully rounded new 3D animations and 3D backgrounds, and the 3D paint that's so real you'll think you could touch it. Easy path animations let 3D characters hop, jump and fly around the screen, and a hundred wonderful movie backgrounds, from the Golden Gate to outer space, add a touch of Hollywood. Using your Mac's built-in camera, and a variety of animated costumes, kids can have fun starring in their own digital documentaries. And with the new "flipbook" button, kids can easily create a 60-second animated short story all their own.
