Montreal, Qc – October 22,
2003 – Di-O-Matic, a leading developer of character
animation software, announced today immediate availability of
Morph-O-Matic version 1.5 for 3ds max, a major point release
in the company's award-winning character animation product
line.
Morph-O-Matic is the award-wining
progressive morphing engine for 3ds max. It works by allowing
multiple morph targets per channel, which produces far
smoother and more natural animation than what standard
linear-based morph engines can offer. Morph-O-Matic also
contains an advanced keyframing system enabling users to
create and restrict morph keys to a specific channel or group
of channels through a non-modal floating panel. Finally,
Morph-O-Matic fully supports morphing of any types of objects
or materials inside of 3ds max.
“Morph-O-Matic
provided a faster solution with more possibilities, a better
interface, and nice floaters with sliders. You need smooth
playback while animating complex facial animation and
Morph-O-Matic provided it. It's faster and smoother than any
other existing morphing solution for 3ds max.” explains Marlon
Nowe, Lead Character Animator at Blur Studio.
Included in this
new version are workflow enhancements such as improved
morph targets extraction for more flexibility and easiest
scene management. Morph-O-Matic v1.5 has been enhanced with
new features that make it easier for modellers and animators
to create and animate morph targets. Enhancements include:
-
New Float licensing scheme:
Morph-O-Matic now uses the ALPServer, the new floating license scheme
recently developed by Di-O-Matic in concert with Mankua
-
Enhanced Material Blending
-
Improved morph target extraction
