Autodesk Softimage

Autodesk® Softimage® 2011 software introduces innovative new rendering, animation, and simulation tools that help artists and technical directors (TDs) create more complex, high-quality characters and effects in less time. With new support for kinematics in ICE (Interactive Creative Environment), TDs can use the intuitive, node-based interface to more rapidly create and troubleshoot advanced character rigs, while artists can quickly generate lip-synced facial animation based on an audio file in Face Robot® facial animation toolset. Meanwhile, an advanced new shading architecture and editing environment automatically hosts external shaders and renderers without the need to build custom shader UI.

Accelerated Performance and Enhanced Scalability
The third iteration of the Softimage® GigaCore architecture, GigaCore III, helps deliver superior data handling and significant speed improvements where today’s projects require it most.

• Loading and saving of large scenes and importing of complex character models is significantly faster. This means not only shorter wait times, but a superior workflow where scenes/models don’t need to be broken into smaller pieces.
• Many of the operations most commonly performed on enveloped characters and on large numbers of objects have been dramatically improved: playback, large-scale selection, deletion, undo/redo, freezing, duplication and hide/unhide.
• The Function Curve (FCurve) Editor performs considerably faster when working with large numbers of curves or large numbers of keys, enabling animators to edit the animation of a larger number of complex characters at one time.
• Reference Models have been vastly improved to closely match regular Models. Loading, offloading and Delta operations are on average around 500% faster, providing essential performance for every pipeline.
