Welcome to Autodesk® Scaleform Studio®.

Scaleform Studio is a new lightweight and high performance 2.5D engine and tool set from Autodesk. Scaleform Studio runs on all major platforms, from consoles to PCs and mobile devices, and is an ideal solution for UI and 2D games.

It also forms part of Project Stingray: the complete 3D game creation suite. You can use Scaleform Studio to design interactive 2D UI elements such as menus and HUDs, which you load and display in your 3D game. In Scaleform Studio, each scene represents a user interface (UI) scene or menu. To create your UI content, start by importing assets such as bitmaps, images, vector graphics, fonts, and Lua scripts. You will place these objects on the Scaleform Studio viewport and these are now called Actors.

Features of Scaleform Studio:

• Lightweight and fast. The Scaleform Studio runtime is notably smaller than competing systems and significantly faster in rendering bitmaps and vectors.
• Vector graphics support enabling you to create content that looks sharp and crisp on any display size.
• A fast, dynamic tessellation system that allows you to create shape tweens and other complex animations.
• Patented edge anti-aliasing (AA) technology that produces smooth, anti-aliased edges without consuming large amount of graphics memory used in HW Anti-Aliasing.
• GPU-driven support for blending and filters (glow, drop shadow, blur, Adjust Color)
• Advanced font/text system that supports bitmap and vector fonts as well as a dynamic font cache to store rasterized glyphs. Data-driven localization support allowing you to provide translations and font mapping for game text.
