Animation teams looking for a new sketch-based modeling and animation tool to quickly sketch a character, inflate it into 3D and promptly animate it
About Monster Mash
Monster Mash is a new sketch-based modeling and animation tool that allows you to quickly sketch a character, inflate it into 3D, and promptly animate it. You can perform all interactions in the sketching plane. No 3D manipulation is required. Unlike previous sketch-based tools, our approach does not require a tedious part-based multi-view workflow with the explicit specification of an animation rig. Instead, we combine 3D inflation with a novel rigidity-preserving, layered deformation model, ARAP-L, to produce a smooth 3D mesh that is immediately ready for animation. Moreover, the resulting model can be animated from a single viewpoint — and without the need to handle unwanted inter-penetrations, as required by previous approaches.

Cascadeur
Cascadeur is a software for creating character animation without motion capture. Using physics-based approach, it allows for creating expressive and realistic animations for movies and video games. Unlike other animation software, character rig in Cascadeur includes physical objects. When you animate your character, you animate the movements of rigid bodies as well. Then, our tools use this information to calculate, visualize and, if necessary, improve the physical characteristics of the pose or animation of the character. This greatly simplifies the animation process and makes it possible to create complex action scenes without relying on motion capture and with no stuntmen involved. We also aim to make Cascadeur as convenient and user-friendly as possible, so it will be easy to use even if you are not a professional animator.
