messiah:studio
is a powerful animation & rendering software package specifically designed
to handle the
most demanding character animation & rendering needs. It has
been used in feature films, commercials, games, music videos and print ads since
1999. messiah
can be used as a stand-alone animation package or as a
powerful addition to Maya, 3D Studio MAX, LightWave, Cinema 4D or an in-house proprietary
application through the Host Connection plugins and Host API . One of messiah's many unique capabilities includes the ability to
set up an animation and, through messiah's host connections, run that animation and
use it in any of the host programs messiah can connect
to. The same animation can be used and moved between each
software. Maya users love our powerful and easy rigging capabilities, such as
the ability to setup custom control rigs with Armature, without having
to write MEL scripts. Another favorite is messiah's "smart bones", that work the way
you want immediately, without requiring weight maps (though weighting systems can be
used too).

Unlimited Render
Nodes
This
means that you can render on as many of your own machines as allowed by your
OS
without being charged a per-node license. messiah:studio includes a basic comand
line render frame launcher, allowing you to set the frame range, output directory,
and change some render parameters, for unattended rendering. It can also be controlled
with any compatible 3rd party render controller.
Host Connection
Many studios, students, and hobbyists regularly use more than one 3D package.
There are various reasons for this, including animator
experience, company pipeline, etc., and we've build our products
with this in mind. Messiah's host connection lets
you add our powerful character animation tools to virtually any pipeline
because it connects to most of the major 3D packages in use today:
3D Studio Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, and LightWave 3D. The process is
simple and can work in one of two ways: either you can create your
scene in messiah then export the animation, or you can use messiah as a
plug-in for the host app. You can also create your own connection to your proprietary
software with the
available API. For more information about using messiah
as a plug-in for a host application, see Using messiah As A Plug-In
on the
Tutorials
page.
