Skip the grunt work, focus on the art.

Available for Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Maya® on Windows 64-bit or Linux 64-bit.
Including 1 week free professional subscription trial.
The Craft Director Studio plugin was built to solve an old problem in animation: that hours and hours needed to be spent simply to make a vehicle roll forward and turn. Never mind animating all the subtle impacts of real-life driving, like a slight body shake over a bump.
Instead of endlessly keyframing, scripting, and creating custom animation rigs, animation teams and professionals can spend that time fine-tuning the realism of their scenes.
Give your scenes special impact with a wide array of camera effects to choose from and combine. “Humanize” cameras with subtle shakes, use SphereCam to simulate epic camera angles, get precise using Spline Speed Controller, and so on and so forth!
A 3D animation tool sandbox that’s intuitive to use and eliminates weeks’ worth of rigging and keyframing.
Create natural, dynamic animations with that little extra.
Animations and keyframes are created in real-time which means you get instant results, providing better movement exactly as envisioned by a producer or director.
Animate cars, trucks, vehicles and cameras in a fraction of the time.
Combine the 41 tools in various ways to create the animation rig that fits your needs.
