Skip the grunt work, focus on the art.

With this 3d animation plugin, you simply rig a model and start “driving” cars, vehicles and aircraft through 3D environments. Adjust variables like suspension and add camera effects to achieve the exact look and feel you’re after.

Available for Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Maya® on Windows 64-bit or Linux 64-bit.

Natural animations automatically

The Craft Director Studio plugin was built to solve an old problem in animation: that hours and hours needed to be spent simply to make a vehicle roll forward and turn. Never mind animating all the subtle impacts of real-life driving, like a slight body shake over a bump.

Instead of endlessly keyframing, scripting, and creating custom animation rigs, animation teams and professionals can spend that time fine-tuning the realism of their scenes.

Striking camera effects

Give your scenes special impact with a wide array of camera effects to choose from and combine. “Humanize” cameras with subtle shakes, use SphereCam to simulate epic camera angles, get precise using Spline Speed Controller, and so on and so forth!
