Shark 3D is a 3D software program and engine developed by Spinor for creating and running interactive virtual 3D worlds. It is mainly 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 simulated virtual world[clarification needed]. This is different from software like Autodesk 3ds Max or Autodesk Maya where you create animations by hand-animating all individual movements.
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.
The software is entirely real-time and has multiple features to enable a physics-based approach.[4]
