· Faster morphing calculation speed
· Enhanced user interface for animators

“The key benefit of using Morph-O-Matic is that it is a huge increase in productivity for both animators and character setup artists. I really recommend Morph-O-Matic as THE tool for studio animating with morph targets in 3ds max.” revealed Luis San Juan from Nexus Production. “On the animation side: the increase of speed, been able to play facial animations in real time and having a floating window for each character simultaneously allowing you to animate a few characters at the same time make live much easier. The new pose system saves a lot of time in reusing poses too.”
He continues: “On the character setup side: it’s like having all the small options you always wanted to have in morpher, the ability to keep the targets in the modifier, the negative target, independent limits for each morph. These features really speed up the all workflow and allow you to focus in creating better rigs.”
