WebAnimate update improves retargeting

Browser-based animation rigging tool comes in free and pro versions.

IKinema has updated WebAnimate, its browser-based animation and retargeting toolset for indie developers. As with previous versions, there is a free version and a professional upgrade. Both versions can import mocap data as well as files from leading 3D development tools.

Notable among new features and improvements in the latest release is a new Library interface, making it drag-and-drop easy to load up models and mocap data.

Other changes:

  • Drag-and-drop retargeting and rigging, for simplified transfer of existing animation sequences to imported models.
  • Integrated sound control, eliminating the need for further processing in another software product.
  • New editing tools, to allow creation of new assets in WebAnimate, instead of just working with imported data.

Current users of the free version will receive a 60-day free trial for WebAnimate Pro.
