What's New

New features in Autodesk® Softimage® 2013 3D character animation software or download include a high-fidelity interactive environment, extended customizability and new creative toolsets.

New Modeling & Selection Tools

Help increase your productivity for common and repetitive tasks with new polygon modeling and selection tools and workflows:

  • New options for thickness, hole capping, edge cutting, and extrusion.
  • An intuitive new Add Smooth Edge Loop tool.
  • Quick Loop enables you to double-click on an edge, point, or polygon to define a loop, and Shift+Double-Click to define a range.

CrowdFX Crowd Simulation

Create complex crowd simulations in a dedicated environment.

  • Use the power of the ICE (Interactive Creative Environment) multithreaded particle system to create complex visual effects with huge numbers of characters who react intelligently to their environment and each other.
  • CrowdFX simulations can be more easily exported to Autodesk® Maya® 2013 software for integration into existing Maya scenes.

Bullet Physics for ICE

Gain enhanced obstacle collision detection options for particle-based rigid body dynamics with Bullet physics in ICE.

  • Use the popular open source Bullet physics engine directly within Softimage.
  • Experience fast collisions with complex non-convex meshes.
  • Collide with deforming meshes for more accurate simulations.

High-Quality Viewport

Refine your 3D animation content more efficiently with the new High Quality Viewport.

  • Reduce the need to frequently preview using a software renderer.
  • Make better creative decisions in less time, with the ability to evaluate your work interactively in an environment that closely mimics the rendered output.

Rigging & Animation Improvements

Improve productivity for everyday 3D animation workflows with enhancements to the animation and rigging toolset.

  • More easily retime F-curves with a new manipulator.
  • Use the Python scripting language in the Synoptic Editor.
  • Add non-normalized weights when painting.
  • Include Animation Layers when creating clips.
  • See when Autokey is turned on with a visual cue.
