TRANSCENDENCE from Dylan Wineland on Vimeo.

Some of the best artists in the world frequently talk about transcendental states of consciousness. These states often lead them to create some of their finest work. Henry David Thoreau talked about accessing the divine by merely being in nature. But are these states of consciousness limited to just painters, writers, and musicians?

By definition, Transcendence means to go beyond or above the range of normal or merely physical human experience. After years and years of talking, philosophizing, and diving so far deep into the question of why we ride motorcycles, we have found ourselves closer to the answer.

This is a film about stepping into yourself through doing something you love. A direct access into the divine. It is about finding that thing in life that will take you to that intangible place, and once found, discovering your truest abilities. It is about creating that bridge from artist to athlete, athlete to artist. It requires a relationship between your state of being, and the thing that you love to do. When you are operating at your highest self, it will translate into your craft, and in return, your craft will take you even further towards the divine. But it starts with you. The motorcycle is just a tool to help you get there. That’s why we ride.

anima® 4 Release Reel from AXYZ design on Vimeo.

The world of crowd simulation has been given new life with the release of Anima 4.0. This is a major step towards a new way of creating even more realistic and life-like experiences. The software has been greatly improved since version 3.5 to be the best and fastest option on the market that focuses on a single goal: no fancy features, simpler and more consistent workflow, and at the same time affordable. To achieve this, a new and innovative way of capturing real people in motion has been designed, supported by a new algorithm for animation data compression. A great effort has also been made to improve the overall usability of anima by making it even more compatible with industry standards.

NEW FEATURES:

1. 4D Digital Humans In Anima 4.0 we are combining the best of the Ready-Posed characters and Rigged with the new Ambien and 4D Digital Humans. These new animated characters are capable of preserving all the details of the clothing and offer facial animations that provide unattainable realism. All this is possible thanks to a new motion capture algorithm and technology developed by the AXYZ design team that allows 5GB of data of each character to be compressed into just 150-250MB. This process is capable of capturing all those details that are normally lost in a typical Rigged character. Furthermore, to improve real-time performance, 4D character technology takes advantage of the streaming capabilities of the multi-core CPU making it possible to use many of these actors at the same time and achieve 120fps in Unreal Engine.

2. Ambient 3D People Previously, when creating an animated simulation, the difference in quality between Rigged and Ready-Posed characters was noticeable, as the latter offered higher fidelity. However, Ready-Posed characters were static... until now. We are introducing in anima 4.0 the new Ambient 3D characters. Thanks to 3D scans and a new automatic rigging solution we are able to capture and apply various movements to be used as idle animations. These actors are ideal to populate the middle and front plane of a scene being able to: look at the stage, look at other actors, and simulate the movement of arms, legs, and breathing. All these subtle variations greatly enhance realism. The entire Ready-Posed library will be gradually updated to become Ambient 3D for free!

3. Integrated Shop Anima's strength lies not only in the realism of its animations and characters but also in the ease of use of the application. A great effort has been made to improve the user experience by adding an AXYZ design Store integration to access, download, buy and manage all purchased characters and animations. Now all of this can be done within the software itself, making your workflow faster and simpler.

4. New Login/License Another great improvement of the user experience is the new anima 4.0 licensing system. Instead of copying and pasting weird codes to license the software, you can now use your AXYZ design website login credentials. By simply sign in your account you can easily manage your licenses, access your profile, downloads, and all animal-related content.

5. Auto Download/Update system The new integration of the website store and account login brings another great feature. While you're online, the system will automatically keep all your content up to date and notify you of any available software updates.

6. New Maya Plugin Having a great workflow between anima® and the other content creation tools has always been our main goal. 3dsMax®, Cinema 4D®, and Unreal Engine® are some of those programs that are already available for seamless integration with anima®, not to mention that it is compatible with several rendering engines such as V-Ray®, Corona®, Octane®, and Arnold®. To continue improving our offer, we introduce a new plugin for Maya®. This new addition allows anima® to reach the VFX industry and let artists unleash the power of their imagination.

STRATUS from colorsponge on Vimeo.

Stratus2025 code name C25

Year 2050, a world dictated by big corporations and a rising radical eco-politics movement, dividing the world in two regions New-Britain and Asia. Times where only the top of society and families with a racing legacy can afford old classic race cars like this one: the Lancia Stratos 2025, known as “Stratus”.

This Lancia is a one-off mutation-remake of the 2010 new Lancia Stratos, part-developed by Hanka robotics and based on a Ferrari chassis. It’s the culmination of a 20-year dream, turned into reality by Stratos enthusiast Chris Hrabalek and Michael Stoschek. Just 10 of this limited edition are spread throughout New-Britian, rare and experimental winning vehicles, powered by the last generation Ferrari v12 hybrid-engine, a successful racer during the 2030s and early 2040s.

The mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive supercar, codenamed c25, was actually conceived alongside the development of the Ferrari Dino 20s edition and promisesd to encompass the very best of Hanka’s technology.

iSkinDeform for Maya from brave rabbit on Vimeo.

iSkinDeform is a deformer for maya which allows to add skin sliding as well as skin attraction effects to a mesh. Skin sliding can be controlled through a control object and keeps the original mesh shape while deforming the vertices over the existing surface. Skin attraction can be useful for applying sticky effects to mesh like to the lips of a character.

iDisplace Deformer for Maya from brave rabbit on Vimeo.

This video demonstrates the new features of the iDisplace deformer plugin for Maya.

New features include: - bugfixes regarding the displacement strength and offset; this can lead to different results when using the new version of iDisplace with scenes that have the old version of the plugin attached - added menu items in Animation Menu Set/Create Deformer and Edit Deformer - switchable displacement direction (normal/direction vector/user vector) - multiple dropoff locators can be created to control the displacement areas - curves can be used to control the dropoff - dropoff locator chain feature to improve performance when working with curves - added an option to invert the dropoff

Here's a list of when the new features are explained in the video for quicker access:

00:30 quick note about upgrading the plugin to the new version 01:10 deformer menu items 01:35 quick note about behavioral changes compared to the previous version 03:10 different displacement directions (normal/direction vector/user vector) 06:08 user defined displacement direction 07:50 multiple dropoff locators 09:03 additional deformer options through the edit deformer menu 09:50 dropoff Curve 12:02 dropoff locator chain 14:45 invert dropoff
