* Improved hold effect - A new "stickiness" parameter allows users to model the effect of sticky surfaces. The Twist physical effect behavior allows a torque (rotational force) to be applied over multiple frames. * Extended forces and torques - The Push physical effect behavior allows a force to be applied over multiple frames.

Users may drive complex IK rigs using endorphin, and allows users to animate over the endorphin motion, to enhance or replace it on a joint-by-joint basis. * endorphin Control Panel plug-in for Maya - New plug-in allows animation generated by a Maya control rig to be mapped onto an endorphin character, and allows animation generated by endorphin to be mapped onto a Maya control rig. Additional effects, such as moving fluids and waves, are also supported. water, air, mud) in a physically plausible manner, including buoyancy and drag forces. * Fluid effects - Characters and objects may interact with fluids (e.g. Several new and improved features for endorphin 2.7 include: endorphin allowed us to deliver incredibly realistic movements and stunts without any broken bones." When you see the results in-game, you realize how dangerous it would have been for the B-Boys to recreate these movements for real. With endorphin in our pipeline, we could create a wide array of unique crashes for all of the B-Boys and B-Girls, ranging from simple handstand fall outs (landing mostly onto their faces), to full-on neck breakers out of a no-handed air flare. Jamie Jackson, art director at FreeStyle Games, said, "The B-BOY title required the development of many challenging movements that were too time-consuming to hand animate, and virtually impossible to recreate in a motion capture studio. endorphin is used by many leading game and visual effects companies, such as FreeStyle Games, which recently employed endorphin's character animation toolset for B-BOY, a hip-hop and break-dancing title for Sony PlayStation 2 and PSP. The newest version of NaturalMotion's award-winning animation software, endorphin 2.7 features new fluid effects support, a Maya control panel plug-in, extended forces and torques, additional file format support and improved user resources.Įndorphin 2.7's robust suite of tools is designed for animators creating realistic, fully interactive 3D character animation for games, films and broadcast production. has released endorphin 2.7 and the endorphin 2.7 Learning Edition (eLE).
