morpheme is the industry's first graphically-authorable animation engine for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and PC. It has been designed from the ground up to give animators unprecedented control over the final look of their animations in-game.
morpheme consists of a run-time animation engine and - uniquely - a powerful 3D authoring application for animators:
morpheme:runtime is a next-generation animation engine featuring advanced (and fully customisable) blend techniques, hierarchical animation state machine, IK support, physics support, and compression algorithms.
morpheme:connect supports morpheme:runtime through a powerful and flexible 3D interface which provides animators with a graphical environment to author and test the game animations' transition logic and blends. In real-time, animators can modify animation parameters (using graphical tools), change transition timings, and see the result instantly in the 3D viewport.
morpheme is out-of-the-box prepared for euphoria.
Some of the most advanced games rely on morpheme as their animation engine:
Pure. A new game developed by Black Rock Studio, Disney Interactive Studios’ award-winning studio in Brighton, UK.
