Real-time user input

Craft Director Tools have the unique ability to receive user input in real time. Any directX device will work: keyboard, joystick, mouse, gamepad etc.

Think of it as smuggling a video game into 3ds Max.

Key-frames

Meanwhile every step of the animation is captured by Craft's unique Razorback MoCap.

You can manipulate and edit every keyframe after the recording is done.

Without Craft Director Tools often the only way to acheive similar results is to write a script. One of our contacts in a large international studio told us about a recent animation project which resulted in a commercial for a new car model in Germany. The scripting of the car took a total of 40 days of labor plus another two weeks of tweaking by animators.

Assuming that the highly skilled workers cost the company $200 per hour (a conservative estimate) let's look at the amount of money they would have saved with Craft 4-Wheeler Extended.

Consider that the same studio estimates that each re-working of the script for different models takes an additional 30% of the original workload, and the savings go well beyond the $100,000 mark!
