Craft Spline Speed-Controller is the 3D animation dream. Make your fly-thrus and walk-thrus in no time at all. Perfect for architecture. This plug-in allows you to manually manipulate any object following a spline. Works with max and maya.
"Drive" along a spline

This plug-in allows you to 'drive' anything - a camera or other obect - along a spline. Filming things just got easier because you can also program events along the spline that do not change position when you edit the spline. Faster walk-thrus. Faster path-editing.

  • Faster walk-thrus
  • Faster path-editing
  • Create traffic in your scene in hours - not days

Focus on things

Craft ZoomAndFocusCam is a director's favorite. This is the ultimate previz tool because you get to see the cinematic results immediately.

  • Manual Focus adjustment
  • Manual Zoom
  • Digital Cinematography in real-time
Read more about Craft ZoomAndFocusCam
 Craft Zoom and Focus cam is a camera plug-in for max and maya. 3D animation just got easier because the director can see the cinematic effects immediately. This camera zooms and focuses automatically on one or two predefined objects. You can manually switch between them, or just manually adjust the zoom/focus of the camera during a recording.

Why?

Because film makers have been doing this for decades in real life and CG has never come up with an equivalent function. Because when you work in real time you can save time and beat the competition.
 
Craft HumanizerCam is a 3D animation plug-in for 3ds max and maya. This camera plug-in is attached/linked to any camera you have. It will add shakes and jitters to your camera during the recording. This makes for a hand-held, warm and organic feeling.
Hand-held cameras
  • Hand-held effects
  • Shakes effects
  • Sudden explosion effects

Why?

Because CG shouldn't have to look like it was made by a computer. What if it looks like humans made it?

Look around ... at things
  • Free movement
  • Key-frames your camera-path automatically
  • Customizeable
  • Instant fly-throughs

Why would I want to do that?

Doing a fly-through will now take you a couple of hours instead of a couple of days. Directors and clients can see the camera's path immediately, and request changes as the film is being made. Cut production times and cut costs.

Perfect for previs, architects and visualization departments.

Craft ObserverCam is a camera plug-in for 3ds max and maya. 3D animation just got easier because you can 'drive' the camera around your scene with a joystick. This plug-in gives you free rotation and translation inside the viewport. Architects, game makers, and previz departments can save weeks of work, and loads of money. Directors can see their camera path immediately - and edit it immediately.

 
 
Craft SoftMotionCam will clean up any camera animation you have made. This plug-in is used in 3ds max and maya in order to record a 3D animation of cameras. Craft SoftMotionCam will add a smoothe and gentle effect to any animation you have made.
Follow things
  • Fluid-motion for attached cameras
  • Filters out sudden movements
  • Less clean-up

Why?

People are tired of CG that looks dead and inhuman! You can now attach a camera to a moving car, but the camera won't look like it's been glued to the roof.

Hint: If you look through the Craft SoftMotionCam's 'AttachedCam' and record your perspective, you can navigate around the scene just like you normally do - and voila! you have recorded a fly-through.
Pan around things
  • Camera mounted on invisible sphere
  • Looks in towards center
  • Instant pan-around effects
  • Manual zoom
  • Gyro option (maintains direction in world coordinates while observing a rotating object).

Why would I want to do that?

Because everyone else does that. The only difference is that you can do it faster and cheaper than they can when you use the amazing Craft SphereCam.
