Pivot Clone in the Works

Early build of Pivot Clone

It seems there’s someone else attempting to take a stab at creating a Pivot-like animating tool. A member of Droidz named Waterfox started a thread about a clone of Pivot he is making and how he was looking for testers. Unlike other apps like XPivot/PivotX which modifies resources of the original Pivot, this one was built over the last 5 months from scratch in C++ and only works on Windows Vista/WIndows 7 at the moment. He released a download for a very early build of the app, and as you can see in the picture above, there’s an “Opacity” slider and the lines are antialiased – clear indicators that this is a “from scratch” build and not just a mod of the original Pivot source.

It will be very interesting to see where Waterfox takes this… stay tuned!
