Advanced Animation tools and presets for poses of people

[aleq]

Hi

I am looking for tools and presets that make it easier to animate from pre-recorded/rendered templates of character moves and positions.

What I would love, is a huge library of different movements of characters. For instance let's say that I have a scene where my character is fighting, so I go under a category Action, and use few templates like: Punch, Fall Down, Stand Up, Dodge.

And if it's an animated 3D character library, you should be able to rotate the character while it's being animated, so you could create some fancy Matrix like camera spins.

It would be awesome with this sort of tool to make it easier focusing on the storytelling, and let the technology carry us through the technical obsticles. Especially for people who are not so advanced in their animating skill, like me

Best Regards

While Blender does provide 3D modeling and animation tools, it hardly matches the requirements that aleq was asking about.

I'd done a little looking around in similar subjects in the past, and found a program that, while providing a lot of other complicated tools, does have a "library" that you're talking about. While designed mainly for professional game developers and movie makers, there is a free Learning version that you can download. It's called Endorphin, created by the company NaturalMotion.

I'll mention that I've never actually tried it myself, so I can't guarantee that it will fully work the way you want it to, but I suspect that it may be just what you're looking for. Check it out, in any case. http://www.naturalmotion.com/endorphinLE

Thanks! I will try it out

Btw I found something too. Not animations, but pretty neat pose-gallery in 3D! http://www.posemaniacs.com/

EDIT: I just tried it.. it's freaking awesome animation with built in physics and CPU calculation of how objects act toward each other. Great find

Have you tried the software called poser?
