Antics Technologies, a UK-based provider of real-time 3D animation software, has released new content for the users of Antics V3 BasePack, the free version of its core 3D animation software.
The free V3 BasePack has features similar to those of the professional version Antics V3 ProPack and is at the entry-level of Antics's product suite. The company claims that the easy-to-use software improves users' ability to import 3D content. Antics has also released 53 individual paid Premium Content Packs, which include themes such as the Wild West sets, Pirate characters and Animal packs. With the new additions, Antics's content collection has reached 3,000 free and premium individual assets, including interactive characters, props, sounds, sets and terrains. The content is available on the company's website.
Phil Swinstead, founder of Antics, said: "The new premium content releases are a continuation of our quest to bring 3D animation to the masses. Anyone from complete novices to more experienced animation enthusiasts can now use Antics to create animations, without any professional training, using the large free content available to all Antics users and purchasing those special premium content elements they need to bring extra life to their stories." Antics says that its real-time system, which is based on gaming technology, enables the creation of characters for a range of applications such as production of 3D animation, hobbyist animation, professional entertainment animated storyboarding, pre-visualisation and pitching. Animators can share their ideas with others on Antics's online community forum. They can join hands to work on collaborative projects, watch clips in the Antics Cinema, enter competitions and also offer suggestions to the Antics product line. Antics offers its users an online support option including support through the online community forum, 50 video tutorials and interactive workshops.
