http://www.sgi.com/products/appsdirectory.dir/Applications/Animation/ApplicationNumber6583.html (Silicon Surf Promotional CD, 01/1995)KINEMATION(tm), Wavefront's solution to 3D character animation, simplifies the kinematics process with its unique Digital Doll method. KINEMATION represents the next generation of character animation software, allowing complete control of the skeleton by integrating forward and inverse kinematics. Animators can bring static models to life by directly manipulating a user-defined skeleton of a marionette. To maintain a natural form as the skeleton moves, KINEMATION incorporates behavioral model into its Smart Skin(tm) that can be taught to behave according to a skeletal position or time. Wavefront provides new tools that incorporate state of the art techniques in 3D kinematics motion, skeletal intelligence and skin behavior.
