<description><![CDATA[Even though a little clunky, this product has a LOT more options in terms of types of objects you can render. Pages, books, cups, etc etc -all stuff the competitors lack.  Good job GOTD]]></description>

<description><![CDATA["To get in-program previews of templates you’ve downloaded from their site, just right-click and save the matching images (as a .bmp or .jpg) from the template download page into the program’s Templates folder , probably C:\Program Files\ExeIcon3DBox\Templates. Make sure the photo has the same name as the template; and PRESTO, previews."

But... how can you download the templates? No way from the website.

<description><![CDATA[Downloaded 3DBox Maker earlier today, but was not able to get to it to test it out until a few minutes ago.  It is a nice little program and you can create quickly.  I am not too concerned about looks of a program, just that it is not cluttered and that it is quick.  This is very easy to navigate of which I did without reading the help. Took a book template and added one of my graphics and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it looked.  I liked what I created and am anxious to continue the project and learn more.  Visited 3DBox site and that too was easy to navigate.  Downloaded all those templates everyone above was talking about - so now I'm ready to go.  Downloaded very good.  Installed without problems.  Registration went without a hitch.  Nice little program and am glad to download to try it.  Nice job and a nice addition for me.  Thanks Exeicon and GAOTD]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For those interested, I've downloaded the additional templates from http://www.freesafesoft.com/ei-3d-box-shot/?u=giveawayoftheday&amp;v=571&amp;w=1052 and added them to c:/programfiles/exeIcon/templates, complete with the pics for each template.

Just download the templates in the link below and replace those templates in c:/programfiles/exeIcon/templates, as I've merged the existing and additional templates in the zip file. Just download and unzip it into the same directory.

<description><![CDATA[The GUI may need improvement but this is a cool program. I like that it also offers 3D text in the nice selection of templates that come with it. The only thing I couldn't find in it was a way to make the background transparent. Maybe it is in there somewhere but if so it should be easier to find. If not, they should add the option in next version.

Thank you Giveaway of the Day (GOTD) and ExeIcon.com]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The strength here is in the variety of templates. I have a couple of other programs of this type from previous givaways that are much more professional than this one, but will keep this around simply for the variety of objects in the templates.

The user interface is horrible. It's clumsy and not at all intuitive and user friendly. As a matter of fact I've launched this program five times and still stumble around trying to add my custom images to a template.

When you re-size something it does not calculate the correct aspect ratio. If I resize in height the program really should adjust the width accordingly so that the final image is correct in its aspect ratio.

I dowdloaded the extra templates offered abouve and there is *no preview* for them.

I agree about the transparency issue. Normally you'll want to take a rendered image like this into Photoshop or a similar editor for final editing and or/composition For that you need transparency as a save option.

Spelling errors. (For example in the extra templates there is a 'pellow'. If you're going to sell something worldwide, then hire an experienced translator to assure professional and correct language in your application.

If the developers work on this program to literally bring it into the 21st century and fix the horrible end user interface issue it may become a contender.

As it is now I would absolutely NOT pay money for this. The way it is, it is very amature-ish despite its one strong point that is a decent variety of template objects.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On 20-5-2010 the app. 3D Ebook Cover was available here on GOTD ( http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/3d-ebook-cover/ ). I had installed it although its applications were rather limited due to the sparse amount of object available with the app. As it happens four days ago I opened a project I had made with it only to discover it had reverted to a trial version. I promptly posted the following in the comments thread on it's page from 20/5. It hasn't appeared there yet. 

=======================
(6-7-2010)
Today I started this app again and it told me my serial number was expired and it immediately brought me to a page on their web site where I could purchase one. So it appears that this version was just a trial version. Not a fully registered version. The last time I used it before today was on 31-5-2010.

It now shows in big capitals on the image:

3D EBOOK COVER
TRIAL VERSION

I think everyone has the impression this isn't supposed to happen.

Could the GOTD people please look into this?
=======================

Have others who installed 3D Ebook Cover experienced the same?
I wonder whether it's a coincidence that only four days later this alternative is offered here.

Compared with 3D Ebook:

On the positive side today's app has a much broader application range because of the much larger number of templates/objects that can be used in the program.

On the negative side is its limited user interface. 3D Ebook has a more advanced user interface and a better/larger work/preview area. I don't like the rather small area you are forced to work in with today's app. For (quite) slow computers this might be useful but it woold be preferable if 3D Box Maker would allow the user to select a size (and perhaps also quality) setting for the work/preview area.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[pro: crystal clear beautifully rendered graphics

contra: has been said here before, but Iwhat I missed most of all -&gt; 
an undo button!
a more reliable way to move the handles (if at least it would show you the percentage it moves, now you simply have to guess)
fill-in box to switch to manual input for x,y,z coordinates, angles, gamma, lightning, etc...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Very nice software with the most options and flexibility I have seen for a boxmaker software. The only thing that I can criticize is there seems to be no option for transparent background for the png format. 

As others have mentioned, the download link in the program for extra free templates are not downloadable. Poster #26 gave a WORKING link to download those templates along with a list of which ones are duplicates from the installer. Thanks #26.

This was #26's link (get it while it lasts):
