“Three identical tori collapse under gravity with a continuously varying viscosity coefficient across the scene.”

“A column of liquid emitted at a constanst rate begins meandering and coiling on impact.”

“A viscous liquid armadillo is dropped on its head. Realistic rotation and bending motions are visible in both the tail and legs.”

[fruitsoftheweb]

“The simpler Laplacian viscosity model erroneously eliminates rotation in the collapsing armadillo, yielding unnatural liquid behaviour.”

Top Software Tools – 3D Animation Creator Must Use

3D animation is one of the highest domain in contemporary art. The 3D animator does not only needs to be creative and have knowledge about the animation tools but also requires significant information about different game engine used, the 3D animation software, shot composition and the renderer. The most important of all, the 3D animation creator should have the ability to communicate the message.    Most importantly, you need to have talent as a storyteller to get your message across. If you are looking for some software tools for 3D animation then you must read below:

3Ds Max

3Ds Max is one of the top commercial software tools for 3D animation in the market. It is best for architectural visualization, visual effects production, and game development. 3Ds Max has the capability of creating organic and parametric objects with subdivision surface, spline-based feature, and polygon. The 3D animation competences of this software are comprehensive. It has two character animation tools, one is the “character studio” and the other is “CAT”.

Motionbuilder

If you are a professional 3D animation creator then MotionBuilder is a professional tool that will assist you. This software is a combination of virtual production, motion capture, and keyframe animation. You can easily animate the 3D characters with Motionbuilder in real time which is best for developing games and creating animated movies.

Cinema 3D

Cinema 4D is the most easy-to-use animation software. It provides a real-time viewpoint that gives screen space reflecting which makes it easier for the 3D animation creator to control the effects proficiently. Other than this it also enables you to export previews which you can send to your clients to get approval.

Clara.io

Clara.io is a free software for 3D animation, which works in browsers. It almost covers all basic needs of a software tool; it has the features of looping beveling, cutting, slicing, and extrusion which are the basic modeling techniques. Moreover, it also offers subdividing modeling. It is an impeccable tool for 3D animation creator for working on a collaborated complex 3D animation projects as it runs on the cloud. It is also suitable for creating animated movies because of its basic keyframe animation feature.

Much of the artwork I've posted over the past year in a half was made, at least in part, using Clara.io, an awesome browser-based 3D modeling and rendering program, and they've been kind enough to feature my work on their INSPIRAT.ioNS blog. Check out the article here: Casting a spotlight on the GIF wizard who's creating incredible work in Clara.io

In other news, I'm too lazy to make any more stuff and have decided to spend all of my time giving interviews and posting articles about myself. Perhaps even a nude selfie once in awhile.

Good times!

Clara.io – Visual 3D editor for the Web

I've been granted access to Clara.io beta recently. This is what the Web world needs, more visual, not pure coding tools. Clara.io is a WebGL, Three.js based, 3D editor application in the cloud, and you can already try it, just apply for an invitation.

This thing is ready to use, but still requires improvements. You can model, animate and even render stuff with V-Ray render (not released yet, watch preview).

That's how the app looks from the inside, just like a typical 3D editor software. The UI is familiar for those, who have worked in any other editor.

On top there are four tabs with basic objects, lights, camera and null object to put on the scene.

On left side there is a list of objects, materials and assets under the Explorer tab, and the Sub-Object tab includes a bunch of editing modes on sub-object level (flip/edit normals, triangulate, mesh smooth, etc.).

To the right is the History tab in case you want to check what you've done before. And the Properties tab, where you can change object settings, apply modifiers, transforms, materials and other properties.

On the bottom is the Timeline, the Log window and the Script window where you can run external script.

Clara.io can import .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .fbx, .jsfbx, .obj, .mtl, .stl, .json files, and export to Collada, OBJ, STL, Three.js, jsFBX and FBX.

According to the docs, the app will release plugins support soon, you'll be able to create and use your own. Also they have a REST API, which provides a few operations you can make with your scenes (the Scene here is like a separate project file), such as list all scenes, create, delete, update, clone and share a scene.

In conclusion I'll say that there nothing new has been done, except that this is for the Web and it works on the Web, and that's a big deal.
