| MIXAMO & TURBOSQUID PARTNER ON 'MODELS & MOTION' |  |   | | | SAN FRANCISCO - Online animation service Mixamo has entered into an agreement with New Orleans-based online 3D marketplace TurboSquid (www.turbosquid.com) to offer "Mixamo-certified" models that are assured to work seamlessly with the entire collection of motions found on the company’s Website (www.mixamo.com). | | (12/11/2009) | | | Users can apply any of the Mixamo motions to a growing list of TurboSquid character models. They can then be viewed directly within the Mixamo interface, without uploading.
While the Mixamo service is compatible with most 3D models, these Mixamo-certified models in the TurboSquid marketplace have been tested and are guaranteed to provide seamless integration with Mixamo animations.
"The combination of high-quality, certified TurboSquid models and Mixamo animations provides users with a powerful and easy way to develop first-rate characters in motion," says Stefano Corazza, co-founder/CTO of Mixamo. "As the largest worldwide provider of 3D content across several industries, including video games, design and architecture, and virtual worlds, TurboSquid aligns perfectly with Mixamo's ongoing strategy to provide 3D professionals with the next evolution in character creation technologies."
After purchasing a certified model on TurboSquid.com, users can select a desired animation from Mixamo's collection of character motions. They can visualize their certified model online as they customize the automatically retargeted motions in realtime using slider-based controls. Once customization is complete, users may purchase and download the motion and merge into their character model scene.
The collection of certified models currently contains ten 3DS Max biped system characters. Additional certified models will be added regularly.
