Craft Director Tools

Short description: Craft Animations & Entertainment AB

Craft Director Tools are a suite of plug-ins developed by Craft Animations & Entertainment AB. The plug-ins are compatible with Autodesk's 3ds max, Maya and MAXON Computer GmbH's Cinema 4D and are used to create 3D Animation.

## Features

Craft Director Tools calculate or 'simulate' the motion of objects like cars with the aid of complex algorithms designed to recreate physical events from the real world, such as a car tilting forward when it stops. Craft Director Tools' algorithms calculate how much a car should tilt, and simulates that inside the computer. Similar simulations are possible for airplanes, helicopters, motorcycles, and boats.

Craft Director Tools allow for the creation of editable, recorded animation material by recording simulations in key frames in real time, inside of Maya and 3ds Max, without requiring scripting. Craft Director Tools are interactive, meaning that the animation is produced as the user is watching it.
