Default Sega Releases Animanium 'Lite' Version

Sega Animanium, 3D character-animation software used by animation studios and videogame developers in Japan, is now available in both a full version and a newly released "lite" version.

USA Index Corporation, the U.S. subsidiary of Japan-based Index Corporation and licensee of Animanium, has released Animanium Express at SRP $99. Animanium Express offers most of the features of the full version of Sega Animanium, but is limited to no more than 180 frames and does not offer the automatic cleanup function.

USA Index Corporation is also offering a free trial version of Animanium, which can also be downloaded at the Animanium Web site.

Animanium is designed to reduce the cost and time involved with creating realistic human movement by replacing the need for motion capture technology and cutting time spent on programming. The software integrates with leading animation programs including 3ds max/ Character Studio and Maya.

A very limted demo available here

Note the Plugin Converters for 3d Apps will work with this demo.

Converters for :-

3DS Max 5,6,7
Maya 4,5,6
LW7.x
XSI 3.5

I wouldn't mind trying it out but the 180 frame limit is absolutely crippling for anything but tiny animations. For now, I'll stick with Messiah.
