Animations are created by "playing" a scene as in [[video games]] within a virtual map.
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 one virtual actor and then play another, while replaying the first one. A character or vehicle controlled live can physically interact with previously recorded characters and objects via the physics engine.

==Features==
Shark 3D contains:
* A tool pipeline: assets like meshes, textures and basic animations are not created within Shark 3D, but imported from separate tools like [[3ds Max]] or [[Autodesk Maya|Maya]].
* [[Authoring system|Authoring]] editor<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bicc-net.de/workspace/uploads/subfeatures/downloads/folker-schamel-51d16b3a959ec.pdf|title=Let's get serious:How video game technology transforms other industries|access-date=2014-08-28}} Slide 4</ref>
* Physics based recording, replay and track editing
* Shader editor
* [[3D computer graphics|Renderer]] (live and render-to-file)
* [[Sound]] system
* [[Physics engine]]
* [[Scripting language|Scripting]]

The core of Shark 3D is an authoring editor supporting templates and prefabs to reuse entities. Templates and prefabs can be nested to any level and edited live.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bicc-net.de/workspace/uploads/subfeatures/downloads/folker-schamel-51d16b3a959ec.pdf|title=Let's get serious:How video game technology transforms other industries|access-date=2014-08-28}} Slide 15</ref> This allows building up complex scenes or objects with integrated behaviors (e.g. [[Non-player character|NPCs]] or complex [[camera]] systems based on simple building blocks in a flexible way).

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]
