ChronoSculpt is an innovative stand-alone application designed to enhance the workflow of animation and dynamic simulation cache files, enabling users to apply sculpting and transformation tools over time. With its cutting-edge geometry engine based on Hydra technology, ChronoSculpt allows for effortless manipulation of objects containing up to 10 million polygons.
This application supports industry standards such as Alembic, LightWave MDD, and Autodesk Geometry Cache formats, allowing artists to easily correct errors in dynamic simulations or alter the appearance of characters through layered sculpting clips or global adjustments across the entire animation.
ChronoSculpt can significantly reduce workflow inefficiencies, enabling quick modifications to baked dynamic simulation cache files to eliminate simulation jitters and artifacts, leading to timely project deliveries.
The Lightwave ChronoSculpt 1.0 Academic ESD License (LW-CS10EF) is a standalone application designed for manipulating animation and dynamic simulation cache files. It enables users to apply sculpting and transformation tools directly over time, addressing common issues like simulation jitters and artifacts. This software is suitable for academic users who need to refine baked dynamic simulations or modify character appearances within animation workflows. Its geometry engine, based on Hydra technology, supports objects up to 10 million polygons, facilitating the handling of complex scenes. ChronoSculpt integrates with industry-standard formats including Alembic, LightWave MDD, and Autodesk Geometry Cache, allowing for efficient error correction and aesthetic adjustments. By providing tools to sculpt, drag, pinch, erase, transform, pin, and bulge geometry over time, it helps reduce workflow inefficiencies and supports timely project deliveries in animation and simulation pipelines.
ChronoSculpt 1.0 supports LWO, OBJ, LightWave MDD, Autodesk Geometry Cache, and Alembic formats for integration into various software pipelines. It can also export any frame as an OBJ for Maya Blend Shapes or as an Endomorph for LightWave.
The enhanced geometry engine in ChronoSculpt 1.0 is designed to effortlessly handle vast geometry files, supporting objects with up to 10 million polygons.
The software includes sculpting tools such as sculpt, drag, pinch, and erase. Transformation tools available are Transform, Pin, and Bulge, which can be used to edit individual geometry within a dynamic simulation cache.
ChronoSculpt is primarily used to enhance animation and dynamic simulation workflows by enabling users to correct errors like jitters and artifacts in baked cache files, or to alter the appearance of characters and objects through layered sculpting clips and global adjustments over time.
