Hi Guys,
www.projectmessiah.com
Messiah is primarily a Character Animation app just like for example ZBrush
is for sculpting. Focuses on one thing.
It is meant to be used beside your main 3D app of choice. Version 4.0 has
just been released. See the link above.
Ulven - who develops this app - has been - as we speak - updating the Docs
online here:
http://www.eggswhyzed.com/messiah_docs/
Check out the WHATS NEW section and Messiah 4.0e - it lists recent additions
and links to parts of the manual explaining these new features. Some real
nice stuff here.
In the recent past i have been hinting at better import / export in RS. This
is why. With apps like Messiah around alongside Realsoft one could have a
full Character Animation Workflow. All is needed - robust .MDD, FBX and
Collada.
Remember an app like Messiah cannot model etc - it needs an app like
Realsoft to deliver a scene / character to it. Messiah specialises in
Character Animation. Animate in Messiah, then back to RS afterwards to final
texture - Render your project!
Cheers
Aidan
