"Strata has clearly paid attention to Adobe aficionados with its robust Strata 3D CX 5.0 flagship product, as Adobe users will recognize many of the core tools in the main palette. Strata Foto 3D makes it possible to take nearly any object and make a 3D model with just a little set-up time and a digital camera. The final cog in the machine is Strata Live 3D, which works hand in hand with Strata 3D CX to publish your models to the Web or within an Acrobat 7-compatible document."
