Animation Master17.0b

Animation Master is a feature-rich software application that enables you to design 3D animations. Dedicated to first-time and experienced users alike, it puts at your disposal user-friendly tools for inserting objects and special effects into your projects.Plus, it contains a collection of models and non-linear animations, in addition to lighting tools, an UV editor, and a powerful rendering engine.

Clear-cut interface with advanced options

The app is wrapped in a classical-looking interface with a well-structured layout, where you can explore the libraries with models, actions, materials and images, as well as add your own ones to the project.It's possible to create relationships between multiple objects and change their properties, automatically assign bones to bodies, bake the surface, select the rendering mode, as well as to import data models (.mdl), light files (.lit), camera files (.cam) or V4x. segments (.seg).The project can be consolidated as a text file or zipped archive. You can view the timeline, hide the status bar, limit the maximum drawing time, choose the real-time driver and measurement units, alter the grid spacing and viewing mode (wireframe, shaded, or shaded/wireframe), create backups for the project files, and so on. These are just part of the options provided by this tool.

Evaluation and conclusion

It used a reasonable amount of CPU and RAM during our evaluation, so it didn't hamper system performance. We haven't come across any stability issues, thanks to the fact that it didn't freeze, crash or display error messages.All in all, Animation Master comes loaded with a bunch of resourceful options and customization preferences to help you design 3D animations, so you can definitely take it for a spin.
