IKinema Action
Animate any model or creature with ease, using IKinema Action, a plug-in for Autodesk Maya.
IKinema Action uses award-winning technology that lets you create realistic full-body animations much more quickly and easily than traditional methods.
With its unique tool-set, IKinema Action makes complex animations possible with just a few clicks. It easily lets you perform time-consuming tasks such as combining multiple models into a single animation. With IKinema Action, there is no need for characterisation or special rigs as it works directly on the rig.
IKinema Action seamlessly accounts for gravity and balance to suggest the right body posture for your animations, helping you generate realistic, lifelike, fluid movements.
