Crank Storyboard™ Suite enables UI Designers and Embedded Developers with the ability to quickly prototype, develop and deploy rich animated user interfaces for embedded devices. Storyboard Suite 3.0 has a number of new and improved features including animation timeline, image optimization, improved internationalization, custom shaders, and iOS support.
Animation Timeline
Animations received a major overhaul in Storyboard Suite 3.0.
Customers can create new animations by using the animation record feature and moving controls around within the screen
editor. When done, your new animation will be displayed in the new time-line editor where you can continue fine tuning your
animation.
Image Optimization
Some images can now be modified with in Storyboard Suite 3.0. Alpha
can be removed from images to enhance system performance for example. Another feature is the ability to merge multiple image
controls into one control with the individual images rendered into one
single image.
Internationalization
Storyboard makes translating and internationalizing the text content of your application a straightforward
activity. Dynamic text content is treated the same as any other dynamic content that is rendered to the
display.
Custom Shaders
With the introduction of custom shaders in Storyboard Suite 3.0
customers now have additional options to provide an even richer UI
experiences for their end users. Some of the initial custom shaders that
can use include are spotlight, sepia, zooming, ripples, and glowing
text.
iOS Support
Customers now have the additional option of exporting their Storyboard
application to iOS. Having support for another very popular platform makes it extremely easy to quickly prototype before final hardware is available.
