Feature-quality 3D characters at game studio speeds
- Uncluttered
- Intuitive
- Lighting fast
The only animation tool optimized for the convergence of gaming and movies.
Made by artists for artists
We’ve removed the noisy, complex controls that get in your way, replacing them with:
- A clean, uncluttered visual canvas – focus on what matters
- Flexible animation layering – for non-destructive exploration
- Easy attaches – constrain any object to another, on the fly; detach or reattach without pops
- Intelligent motion paths – finesse your arcs and spacing right in the camera
- Intuitive direct manipulation – quickly select and manipulate poses without NURBS wires or the channel box
- Animation spreadsheet – for when the numbers count
- Simple drawing planes – plan and review animation with an integrated 2D multiplane camera
- Real-time feedback – instantly review your choices—no waiting for a recorded ‘playback’
- Import your rigs – from Maya or anywhere (or build them in Reflex)
- Integrate into Unreal Engine — for a live workflow
- Export to anywhere – via USD, Alembic or FBX
Reflex gets out of your way and lets you create.
Plays well with others
Reflex is not a Swiss Army Knife. It’s a specialized tool for crafting just the right layout and staging, maybe pulling in some drawings or motion capture, and getting just the right performance from your characters.
For all the other steps, Reflex has best-in-class support for USD, Alembic and FBX, as well as live integration into Unreal Engine, with other tools coming.
The big studio animation tool for the rest of us
- Import your rigs — from Maya or wherever (or rig in Reflex)
- Bring them to life — in a fraction of the time
- Stream them out — with live integration into Unreal Engine, or export to Unity…or anywhere
Accelerate your pipelines without compromising on character quality or performance subtlety.
Reflex helps animators be artists and studios become hit factories
Create feature film quality characters with real-time speed, scale and efficiency.
Enough already.
More into 2D?
If you just want a fast, fun, simple, friendly, ‘where-has-this-been-all-my-life’ 2D animation tool, you want Lune.
Small print
Reflex was made by Mark Oftedal, Dan Herman and the amazing team at DigitalFish—escapees from the big animation studios, with front-line roles in some of the biggest hits in animation history. Like that one. Yes, and that one.
We’ve been there, designed the characters, re-engineered the pipelines, built the tools, created the processes and got the t-shirt. Now we’re here to change the world of animation, making things better for animators everywhere—and the talented, creative movie and gaming studios that employ them.
