Animations are created by "playing" a scene as in [[video games]] within a simulated virtual world{{Clarify|reason=What does "playing" even mean in this context?|date=February 2022}}. This is different from software like [[Autodesk 3ds Max]] or [[Autodesk Maya]] where you create animations by hand-animating all individual movements.
Animations are created by playing a scene as in [[video games]] within a virtual map.


By recording different characters and objects in different tracks, the animator can create a full scene in multiple iterations. For example, the animator can first play one virtual actor, and then play another while replaying the first one. Recording is physics based, so that a character or vehicle controlled live can physically interact with previously recorded characters and objects.

Shark 3D is an engine developed by Spinor for creating and viewing interactive 3D scenes. It is mainly used for developing video games and things similar to game engines, producing films and TV series,[1][2] as well as creating broadcast graphics[3] and developing 3D applications.

Workflow

Animations are created by playing a scene as in video games within a virtual map.

An animator can record different characters and objects in different tracks to make their scene. For example, the animator can first play as one virtual actor and then play as another, while replaying the first one. A character or vehicle controlled live can physically interact with previously recorded characters and objects using the physics engine.

Companies Funcom,[4] Ravensburger Digital,[5] Marc Weigert,[6] Siemens, and ARD/ZDF/Pro 7/Disney Junior[7] have or are currently using the program. In 2012, it was the second most used real-time 3D engine in Europe after Unity.[8]
