Character Studio R2.2 3D character animation

A powerful new version of the extension to 3D Studio MAX R3 software that delivers breakthrough performance and realism for 3D character animation in film, broadcast, video, games, and interactive entertainment. The technology behind The Dancing Baby phenomenon, Character Studio R2 combines breakthrough motion capture, editing, and blending technology with traditional key frame animation, comprehensive new skin deformation tools, and Character Studio's patented footstep-driven technique. The result is a 3D character animation solution that is unique to any platform.

Whether you specialize in animating video games, animated series, features, film effects, or commercials, you're probably busier than you've ever been. You've got to work quickly - and creatively. Using computerized animation tools can help you meet deadlines, but creating characters with true personality remains an art - and computer techniques often limit artistic expression. But you no longer have to compromise character quality for speed. Character Studio Release 2.2, a software extension to the blockbuster Kinetix entertainment product 3D Studio MAX, is a large-scale professional character animation package that runs on Windows 98 or Windows NT PCs. Using its uniquely rich palette of motion capture, footstep, and freeform functionality, you can draw on the best of each technique to achieve all your goals: fast and lifelike animations, true character, effective management of large projects, and the right balance of quality and performance for each project.
