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. The recording is physics based, so that a character or vehicle controlled live can physically interact with previously recorded characters and objects.

==Reception==
Shark 3D is available for multiple target platforms like [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] and [[Linux]] based [[Personal computer|PC]] applications, mobile devices and consoles.
⚫
===Usage===

The software focuses entirely on real-time. For example, all soft lighting and shadowing in the Shark 3D renderer is completely real-time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ps2.vgcore.com/interviews/23.html|title=Shark 3D Engine Interview |access-date=2014-08-28}}</ref> This is in contrast to other software packages like [[Autodesk Maya]] which are mainly non-real-time or various game engines such as [[Unity engine|Unity]] or [[Unreal Engine]] which use a mixture of real-time and pre-calculated lighting.

The software is highly modular and can be customized or extended on all layers.

Shark 3D is a software and engine developed by Spinor for creating and viewing 3D scenes. It is primarily used for developing video games (similar to a game engine), producing films and TV series,[1][2] 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 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 Maya.
  • Authoring editor[4]
  • Physics based recording, replay and track editing
  • Shader editor
  • Renderer (live and render-to-file)
  • Sound system
  • Physics engine
  • 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.[5] This allows building up complex scenes or objects with integrated behaviors (e.g. NPCs or complex camera systems based on simple building blocks in a flexible way).
