"Animation:Master" gives both beginning and advanced animators the ability to tell their stories. Remarkably, wrapped into one interface are advanced features like inverse kinematics, ray-tracing, image mapping, and modeling of complex organic and mechanical objects. The revolutionary patch-based technology makes it easy to create natural, fluid-moving characters, scenery, and props. 

"Animation:Master", the 3D motion picture studio is the most powerful and affordable spline based modeling and animation program available. Specifically designed for classic character animation, the drag and drop, customizable interface and powerful motion tools give you the control that is required to tell your story. 

Since A:M is geared toward character animation, it gives you the ability to build libraries of actions and characters that can be reused over and over. Its cross platform compatibility  makes A:M an excellent choice for studios with multiple types of systems.    

�We've tried everything out there, and Animation:Master remains the world's greatest value in character animation software. A:M's nonlinear animation tools are the best available at any price.� -- Steve and Raf Anzovin, Anzovin Studio

 

�Animation: Master gave me the tools I needed to quickly jump into learning 3D Character Animation. As a beginner I found it intuitive and fun to use, and as a professional I continue to find it powerful and flexible. It's certainly the best animation software for the money, and the programmers and support staff are helpful and responsive.� -- Victor Navone, creator of 'Alien Song' and animator at Pixar Animation Studio.

�I believe A:M may have launched more top character animators than any other suite. Even after they learn Maya and Max and XSI, they still do their own personal work in A:M because the elegant tools make so many things easier and smoother and quicker.� -- Peter Plantec, Contributing Editor Producer Magazine (AKA: AVV/Multimedia Producer Magazine), and author of �Virtual Humans�

A:M "Top Ten" Quick list

- SPLINE BASED MODELING, ANIMATION, AND RENDERING - allows smooth organic models and natural freeform motions. 

-BONES MODE for easy IK construction. 

- INVERSE KINEMATICS - to interactively pose articulated characters. 

- SKELETAL, MORPHING, AND BENDING ACTIONS IN COMBINATION - all three kinds of object and character motion can be overlapped and used in unison. 

- TIME BASED MOTION "EASE" - for accurate acceleration and deceleration of movement. 

- TRUE PATCH-BASED "UV DECAL" MAPPING - using bit mapped images that are locked to a surface and distort properly when an object bends and twists. 

- D3D or OpenGL real-time rendering. 

- MOTION LIBRARIES - so that a complex action needs to be built only once and then used over and over again. Includes motion capture input & motion control output. 

- LIP SYNCH KEY FRAMING - for assembling lip shapes with automatic inbetweening. 

-TECHNICAL  SUPPORT- Top notch and totally free.
