| Deform Dynamics AB | Dynamo v1.1.0 |
R2018 R2019 R2020 R2021 | €99 |
| Description | |||
| Dynamo is a (real-time) GPU-accelerated cloth dynamics plugin that performs 10-100x faster than the native cloth modifier. Being real-time, it enables natural interactions in real-time and moves the creation process from trial and error to something that is playful and fun. This shortens the test loop that designers go through when creating new objects. The underlying physics engine is written in C++ and CUDA C. It exploits the parallel computational capabilities of the multi-core CPU and the GPU to achieve exceptional performance and scalability, while producing accurate and reliable animations. Multithreaded and extensively optimized, this simulator is built for speed. Demo version is available here. 32-bit: No 64-bit: Yes | |||

| Boomer Labs | pMorph v1.4 |
R2018 R2019 R2020 R2021 R2022 R2023 | $75 |
| Description | |||
| pMorph is a plugin that delivers progressive morphing - the ability to have the animation of a modified object be driven by the selection of frame(s) from the animation of another object. pMorph has many unique uses that enhance the production pipeline. For example, animating the timing of complex animations, animating an object (or a group of objects) based on external influences, or using the frame specification capability of pMorph to accomplish precise control over your object's timing with ease. Demo version is available here. 32-bit: No 64-bit: Yes | |||

| Faceware Technologies, Inc. | Faceware Retargeter Studio Plus v5.9 |
R2019 R2020 R2021 R2022 | $899 per year |
| Description | |||
| The Faceware Retargeter utilizes the .IMPD file created from the Faceware Analyzer software, and allows the user to create facial animation at a much faster rate than traditional methods. The Retargeter combines the performance of an actor and the artistic hand of an animator to set keyframes on your facial rig and create a more complete blocking of your facial animation. This allows the user to spend less time blocking, and more time polishing for realistic facial movements. The Retargeter can be used on any type of facial rig, and in different software packages, letting the animator work in a familiar environment and workflow. Demo version is available here. 32-bit: No 64-bit: Yes | |||
