ANIMATED FEATURES

AnimServo sprang from the idea for the desire to establish a methodology in using facial motion capture to control
animatronic puppet heads. Creating it as a plug-in allowed us to take advantage of Autodesk Maya’s powerful
animation tools and also the worldwide talent pool of animators who use Maya. It also expanded AnimServo’s ability
to control more then just facial animation. We are currently working on new features for AnimServo that will extend
it’s capabilities even further.
