Susanna: Poser animations to Bryce.

Key features:
(press here to see how an animation is created with Susanna)

- Import multiple animations with ease. No special memory requirements. If your system can handle 20, 30, 50 or more Poser meshes then you can animate it with Susanna! See attached Skeleton March 2 animation with 300 figures, 51 million polygons.

- Poser figures can utilize Bryce 4/5 and/or Poser materials with bump maps, skins etc.. Each material can be animated with Bryce:s excellent material system. Each body part or prop can use own individual material. Use Bryce walk paths: figures can walk on uneven terrain and you are not limited to flat floor.

- You can animate any series of OBJ files so you are not tied to just Poser OBJ exports. Check out the Exploding statue. Same character can use multiple animation sets which can be replicated, combined etc. with ease.

- Import Poser and Bryce animations to real-life movies. Check out the F/X sample: a walking Poser skeleton is imported to digital video footage.

- Add realistic 3D Motion Blur to Bryce rendered movies or single pictures. This feature for Bryce is available only in Susanna!

- Animations within animation can be made. Create up to 30 "movie screens" in your animation. Great for TV ads and internet promotions. Take a look at Movie time and Blob video sample animations below.

- Use multiple computers to break down a graphics heavy animation jobs. Susanna produces a series a bitmap files which can be combined with your favourite AVI/MPEG/etc.-maker to produce a cool movie.

- Susanna employs a script engine which does the job of importing animations. The script source is included so you can modify it to suit special needs and even make own additions. Script compiler and linker is is included.
