Based on cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and autonomous control systems, Craft Director Studio (CDS) extends creative possibilities by eliminating the time-consuming tasks of keyframing, scripting and rigging. Users gain the experience of a new era of animation with an opportunity to create natural motion paths on-the-fly, optionally with the use of an input device, gaining instant gratification through highly realistic interactive real-time animation.

Visual for film and Broadcast – CDS provide realistic and accurate vehicle incident and traffic animation, collision visualizations and scene flythrough in less than it takes them to write teleprompter text, allowing more time for creativity.

Previsualization – CDS add-ons are interactive, providing better real-time control for precise movements exactly as envisioned by a producer or director.

Game Development – CDS allow game developers to enhance in-game cinematics through a modular, configurable system that replicables a specific rig within Autodesk’s 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage and Maxon’s Cinema 4D. Artists may actually “drive” a vehicle within the creative environment, achieving more realism in less time.

Architectural Visualization – Film walkthroughs of architectural design are easily achieved through CDS’s unique camera angles and views. Cameras quickly and easily navigate exterior to interior layouts of a scene in real-time, saving the time and cost of an outside animation contractor.

Accident Reconstruction and Forensics – Combined with user research and data, CDS can provide near-instant visualizations and simulations of any vehicle accident scene, simulating and recording keyframes in real-time.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Animation is created in real-time.
Work inside of preferred host application.
Compatible with the host application’s graph editor.
Possibility to change the physics and still have the exact same animation path.
You are able to customize each tool as you like to get the movements you desire.
By combining different tools with each other you can virtually create any machine or vehicle desired. The Craft Director Studio system allows you to animate multiple tools at the same time.
