Filmakademie chooses NaturalMotion endorphin

UK developer of dynamic motion synthesis technology, NaturalMotion Ltd, has announced that leading German animation school Filmakademie will use multiple licenses of endorphin across its animation and visual effects courses.
Endorphin was chosen for its unique dynamic motions, which can be precisely influenced by the user, as well as its character interaction capabilities, which provide realistic and convincing animation.
The students at Filmakademie will use endorphin on Character Animation, Visual Effects, Content Creation (which includes game design, and intro-sequences for games) and Technical Director courses.
Professor Thomas Haegele, Head of the Institute of Animation, Visual Effects and Digital Postproduction at Filmakademie, said: “In contrast to Motion Capture and classical key framing techniques, endorphin is a new, exciting, easy to learn and fast way to bring characters to life. For example, in scenes where characters have to interact with each other and/or objects, the use of endorphin will help the animator to achieve otherwise very difficult and time consuming realistic and convincing movement in animation. For the production of animated films this means sparing time as well as money.”
The Filmakademie is situated in Ludwigsburg, Baden-Wuerttemberg, in the South of Germany and has students from Germany, France, Poland and China.
