If you\'re looking to add a little more depth to your Web site, Adobe\'s $399 Atmosphere may be the tool for you. Designed to make it easier and less expensive to create three-dimensional interactive online environments--useful for everything from marketing to education--the new program is competing with established, more comprehensive 3D packages that cost thousands of dollars. Unlike in those programs, however, Atmosphere files require a player, similar to Flash animations.
Designers familiar with Adobe\'s Photoshop and Illustrator programs will feel right at home in Atmosphere: Tools are grouped in palettes that you can dock, merge, and resize. Its wireframe view lets you add and combine solid objects that become your new 3D environment.
