3D Packager Help

3D Packager is the world's best packaging software tool. You can use it easily to make your product package photos or animated demonstrations. You can easily spin, move, zoom and resize your box by some simple mouse actions. And you can change the texture or color of the floor to make the scene cooler as well. BMP/JPG/JPEG/GIF/PNG/TIF file formats are all supported both to import as textures and export as files. With 3D Packager you can also make a video advertisement for your product to increase your sales.
