Anime Studio Pro 7 Delivers Cutting-Edge Tools to Speed Up Production Workflow and Create Stunning Animations
Eliminates Tedious Frame-by-Frame Editing with Powerful New Features Including 3D Shape Design, Physics, Integrated Lip-Synching and Many New Innovative Features
ALISO VIEJO, CA – June 10, 2010 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMSI) Productivity and Graphics Group today announced the availability of Anime Studio® Pro 7, the all-in-one tool for professionals and digital artists to create stunning 2D movies, cartoons and cutout animations. To speed up production workflow, Anime Studio Pro 7 provides a new, fully stocked Content Library and cutting-edge new features such as simulated physics, 3D shape design, integrated audio recording, and advanced animation tools.
Anime Studio Pro 7 alleviates the need for tedious frame-by-frame design through its revolutionary bone-rigging system that enables users to create a character skeleton that moves the figure over time, offering a greater deal of control, flexibility and efficiency in the design process. The new Simulated Physics toolkit allows users to apply movement parameters to characters and objects so that they fall, rotate and react in a natural manner. Users have the power to control density, gravity, friction and springiness of objects, and adjust how objects collide.
"Our training and background is with traditional pencil and paper animation," said Jonathan Dower, former Disney animator and Director of Tui Studios, creator of the popular iPhone apps Little Bella and Monster Melody Mash. "When we discovered Anime Studio Pro, we were blown away by its flexibility. We now have the fluidity and subtlety of traditional animation with a much more streamlined work process."
Anime Studio Pro 7provides the power and flexibility to mix and match traditional 2D cartoon images with 3D figures, photographs and video to create cutting-edge, one-of-a-kind animations. Anime Studio offers motion tracking, integrated audio recording and built-in lip-synching to enable artists to quickly add sound, music or dialogue without ever leaving the application. Once created, shorts and high definition full-length animations can be easily exported to any number of file formats, including AVI, MOV and Flash.
