1 Animation Tools 1.) 3D Max: It includes 3D modeling and rendering software. A new Graphite modeling and texturing system(the Graphite Modeling Tools set, also called the modeling ribbon, gives you everything you need for editing polygon objects.) Integrates the Mental Mill technology. Extensive polygon modeling capabilities. Efficient character animation software with an integrated Biped toolset. Spline and 2D modeling tools. character animation through skeletons and inverse kinematics. An integrated Mental Ray renderer. Advanced motion capture capabilities. THETOPPERSWAY.COM

2 Graphite Modelling

3 THETOPPERSWAY.COM Mental Mill Technology This means that 3ds Max Design users will be able to develop, test and maintain shaders and complex shader graphs for hardware and software rendering with real time visual feedback no programming skills required. MetaSL shaders can be created using the included mental mill Artist Edition software.

14 Trax nonlinear animation system The Trax Editor is a high-level animation tool that lets you select and control characters and their animation clips, layer and blend animation sequences, synchronize your animation and audio clips, and drag-and-drop animation clips between mapped characters.

16 Rigid and soft body dynamics Soft body dynamics is a field of computer graphics that focuses on visually realistic physical simulations of the motion and properties of deformable objects (or soft bodies). The applications are mostly in video games and film.

19 3) Motion Builder MotionBuilder is a character animation tool, that allows you to create real-time animation fluidly and quickly. Characters can be built using intelligent skeletons and kinematics. Then bringing them to life is through keyframe or effective motion capturing tools or both. There are a host of animation tools and motion editors, to get exactly the motion effect that you want. Its feature set includes: multi-threading and optimization; real-time simulations of characters real-time support for deformation of highly-detailed, fully-textured characters support for multiple characters through a large animation data set.

20 4) Mach Studio Pro According to its publisher s Mach Studio Pro really gives you the capability to Work at the Speed of Thought! It does have an attractive set of features that seem to promise much. To begin with there is the real-time rendering engine that will easily render the animation on your desktop without requiring a separate rendering utility. It provides a great deal of interactivity with the 3D graphic workspace and that is one of its strongest features. There are fully animatable properties for all objects, lights, materials and cameras, including an auto-keying feature

21 You can also change the lighting rigs at any point in the production process, giving you a great deal of artistic flexibility. It is resolution independent and thus allows rendering at any resolution and format. Best of all, it supports interoperability with industry standard tools such as Autodesk s Maya and 3ds Max.

22 5) Animate Pro Animate Pro combines vector technology, real-time animation tools and nodal compositing to provide a comprehensive animation toolkit. The beauty of the suite begins with the interface that can be user adapted and customized as needed. Working comfort is further enhanced by a smooth integration of the pipeline and workflow. Artistic freedom is supported by the fact that Animate Pro allows a number of multiple brush tools, textures, and gradients, along with an advanced clean, ink and paint toolkit Symbols and pegs work in unison with key framing is possible in cut-out to speed-up the animation process. In terms of camera control, Animate Pro allows you complete control along all three axes, including moving, scaling and rotation..

23 Other features include: cell-swapping tools frame tweening is possible using the timeline inverse kinematics a vast range of over 50 special effects that can be applied in real-time, while an animation is in progress and a nifty morphing tool THETOPPERSWAY.COM
