Hercules

Hercules is simply the most effective and artist-friendly way to create high quality muscle animation for your characters. Adding that extra touch of realism to the motion of your creatures and characters is easy and they will truly come to life! Hercules’ muscles primitives will help create realistic bulging, wobbling and sub-surface deformations beneath the skin of your characters when they move. Simply drag out muscles and attach them to your character’s existing skeleton rig or Biped. They will deform right away, squashing and stretching as your creation moves within your scene.

Need to make your characters talk? Voice-O-Matic automates the process of lip synchronization for your animated characters directly inside of 3ds max. Simply feed a recorded audio file to Voice-O-Matic, and its powerful algorithms will automatically generate timing and lip position data for your characters. Voice-O-Matic analyzes the phonemes within an audio file and automatically create standard keyframes, allowing animators to quickly tweak the results. You will be amazed at the results, and how easy it is to use.

DreamScape provides users with cutting edge tools for creating realistic landscapes, seascapes, skies, outdoor lighting and more. This incredible tool is actually a tightly integrated suite of modeling and animation tools for building complete environments including mountainous landscapes, realistic skies and bodies of water. In contrast to other terrain creation tools for 3ds max, DreamScape`s Terra module uses new rendering technologies that occupies much less of your computer memory, making it possible to render exceptionally large, detailed terrains even on a modest host system.

SpeedTree 4 is a powerful plug-in for creating low to medium polygon count trees. In most other tree plug-ins, trees start at about 10,000 polygons and go up. The average SpeedTree tree has around 5,000 polygons. As such, you can create a lot more speedtree trees in your scene. In addition, SpeedTree 3 also fully supports wind animation within the tree for a highly realistic look in your animations. In addition to SpeedTree, you can now also purchase the SpeedTree Tree Libraries.

Now in its third decade of development, PolyTrans is used by tens of thousands of production studios and professional 3D users to cross convert crack-free and render-perfect BREP solids CAD models (in native formats, not reverse engineered secondary CAD formats) to 3ds Max, Maya, XSI, Lightwave, Cinema-4D and all major downstream file formats - affordable access to native PTC/Spatial/Dassault/UGS-Siemens CAD modules. The DCC/Animation side of PolyTrans provides for the defacto and production-proven bidirectional conversion of animation, scene and skeleton + skinned mesh data between all major animation systems. Direct and knowledgeable Okino one-on-one customer support. "It simply works". Includes PolyTrans-for-3dsMax.

Power CatiaToMax is the premier solution for design visualization of Catia models and assemblies. Have you ever had to re-create a Catia model inside of 3ds Max / VIZ?  Are you using a translator that converts your precise geometry into polygons?  If your answer to either of these questions is yes, you need to take a look at Power CatiaToMax. Power CatiaToMax reads native Catia files and creates a precise NURBS based "BrepObject" to represent the precise geometry defined in these files.  It can then create a mesh at render time to a specified user defined tolerance relative to the size of the object in the image.

Power NURBS is a unique and exciting new product for 3ds Max / Viz.  If you are a designer or artist that has been searching for a tool that will unbridle your creativity, Power NURBS is an amazing and revolutionary product for 3D modeling. If you want to focus your creativity on your design (instead of esoteric commands), and model in an intuitive and powerfully creative fashion, you should try out Power NURBS.

Power Solids brings the power of Solids Modeling into your MAX environment. Power Solids is specifically designed to be animation friendly. It includes high level solids modeling tools that work on a solid primitive level.Power Solids, Power NURBS and Power Translators are the first products in product series of 3ds max plug-ins entitled the "Precision Modeling Plug-ins". These first products introduce support for a new type of shape representation called a Boundary Representation (BREP).
